One thing I'm becoming increasingly convinced of is that nothing will change now before deadline day. This will either be an 11th-hour departure or nothing, IMO.
I would absolutely hate that. I don't think Ballague has it right to be honest. I mean, he does if he thinks our ambition is to challengie for a top 4 spot. We buy AVB's players and we give ourselves a good shot of that. But with Bale, we could challenge for the title. Without Bale, but with quality replacements signed for the fee we receive, we probably could as well.
If we are to sell Bale, it absolutely cannot derail our progress or plans for this season. If we sell him and only replace him with players we will have signed anyway, it has set us back.
Now is not the time to talk...kind of suggests he's waiting to unleash some sort of verbal diatribe at the club!
I'm sorry I can't speak though just suggests he's happy not to speak and isn't really fussed either way.
To be honest I think he's staying silent and it's actually what Spurs would want him to do too. If a fee can be agreed, to the extent that Spurs are happy with it, he doesn't want to jepordise the move for him and Spurs by saying anything. Similarly if it didn't happen, he doesn't want to burn bridges. Clever guy, and I think there's a much bigger chance of him staying than media have given credit for.

Just me who thinks he might have said "I don't have time to talk" which has been interestingly translated?
but it looks like we are on the way to spending nearly 100 mill pounds. 60 mill already if we include Capoue, if we sign Lamela or Willian then thats another 25 mill plus. Plus im sure others are on their way. If we do all our business before we sell Bale then it doesnt matter when we sell him
It's clear that the Spanish media have a massive ego about this, and if Bale stays, well, they are going to look like complete idiots.
If Bale has been put back on the BT add...that must surely mean he is staying..
I cant see BT messing around just to cover whats going on!
Come on you Spurs
Seriously SSN , is there any footballer you havent asked for an opinion on Bale, getting beyond pathetic now, keep hoping you get the story your so desperate to report on
I'm taking it as a good sign. Part of me would like to think BT have had a quiet word with the THFC heirarchy to see what the score is, but the sensible part says that wont have happened
Three weeks or so and we know either way........ then perhaps we can start to regain sanity....normality... rather than hunting for any clue as to where Bale will be......
Balewatch can be replace by neighbourhood watch.
