Gareth Bale

[Ankit 3,176]

He could be the 3rd best player.. dunno why you guys claim he's over-rated.

Maybe he's not really "worth" 80m, but if Real have the money than he's worth it, because he would make them so much better.

You don't pay 85M Pounds for a player who could become something. 85 freaking million pounds is paid for the likes of Cristiano who won the UCL and the league and Ballon d'or!

I just cannot get it down my throat that Gareth Bale will be the most expensive player in the history of football. Something's wrong with the world!!

Spurs have reached agreement for Soldado. Now they have 2 strikers that are better than our 3

[Stingray 9,441]

Damned ....

I would rather have him stay at Spurs. Now they have a huge bag full of cash they can use to build their squad. Bale was just one guy. I wonder what they will do with the cash now.

They already have Chadli to strengthen their midfield (adding to the physical presence of Dembele) and Soldado as a striker ....

If they buy wisely ... They might end up above ManU on the tables!

It does make me laugh when he was absolute shit at the start of the season...

80 mil... Spurs should snap call that. Just imagine if they keep him and he has an average season, he wouldn't go for anywhere near that. And its not like his value will go up even more if he has a stormer. Ofc, with him they stand a greater chance at top 4 but if they reinvest that then they still have a pretty good chance imo.

[Beirut_Blues 306]

This number is real. Perez and Levy will meet to make a solid deal..... Spurs already know who they're buying and they seem so strong coming into the new season..

Beware of Spurs next season.

Not that worried by Spurs next season. They lucked into uncovering a proper match-winner and it'll be a long time before their fans get to see another player like that at the Lane. They could've built around him but now they're gambling on reinvesting £80 million in new talent. They'll be strong but they're a much weaker team without Bale no matter who they buy in my opinion.

[Special Juan 28,132]

When the chips were down they relied on Bale, every free kick, every break away and counter attack he was the man, not anymore it seems. Tremendous player, bucket loads of ability and will be a massive gap to fill, huge in fact considering how much they relied on him. Can't fault Spurs for taking that amount of money because he is worth nowhere near that, we all know that, even for Levy.

To be worried about Spurs for me they would have to throw all his transfer fee back into transfers, Levey won't do that IMO. 25M on Soldado and one or two more signings for relatively decent money and the rest back in the vault. They will take a season to adapt, AVB needs to work with fresh bodies and it will be them to fight it out with Arsenal again for fourth IMO.

Going back to the Bale thing, a few weeks back AVB was interviewed after a friendly and he looked completely gaunt and looked like he was completely washed out. I think this must of been the time he was told that Bale was wanting out, even his face against South China said a lot....This could rock Spurs more than anything IMO.

If he goes Spurs have one hell of a job picking themselves up.

Bale will free Torres of his burden.......Torres is getting freed happy time. Over to bale

Lol Madrid are going to offer us 150m for Hazard in a couple of years.

[John1611 77]

Now it's official. Madrid have submitted an 85 million bid:

Levy is mad if he refuses to take that.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

AVB has a great eye for talent and with 80m+ to spend,I am certain he will transform our rivals into serious title contenders.If he does continue buying new players this season then according to me Spurs will pose a bigger threat than United.

Funny if he does a modric.
