Re: Gareth Bale
Tbh Thinking about it, £78m plus Coentrao is the more likely deal, surely RM are not accepting our value of Bale as being £108m?

"the Italian Balague" is Palmari. Di Marzio's very well connected. He owns Sky Sport's Italia. Palmari's his employee. If Di Marzio says it take it to the bank.

Might as well give us Coentrao for the outstanding on modders

Coentrao's agent would never agree as he would miss out on his cut....

Re: Gareth Bale
Bale not playing
Convenient injury
Willian coming
Lamela coming
Spending sh*t loads
Benny frozen out (left with 1 LB...supposedly)
RM gone quiet..let us do our business
It's f*cking obvious

Re: Gareth Bale
Obviously it can work both ways. Off the top of my head Parker and Adebayor (albeit on loan) both hit the ground running and probably had their best seasons for us immediately following their arrival.
But Naughton does have a point because there's an even chance new arrivals will take a while to really get going, Dempsey and Siggy being two recent examples.

Re: Gareth Bale
Whats the situation Re Bale at the moment?
He is really injured? Didnt play for Wales after all..
Any chance of him facing Swansea or being back for arsenal away?

Re: Gareth Bale
Cheers for the info
Thought this deserved to not get lost at the end of the previous page as I imagine a lot of people are wondering who this is
Obviously. Although I'm not sure where you're getting "an even chance" from?
I disagreed with the statement "they will take a season to bed in and adapt to PL". I'm aware that it can go either way, that's part of my argument.

Re: Gareth Bale
AVB has said that he won't be involved for our first three games, that's assumed to be Palace, Tblisi and Swansea.

Re: Gareth Bale
From someone who truly believed Bale was NOT going to go to Madrid, either due to Levys obstinance or Madrids inability to meet the valuation, if Willian and Lamela sign, and especially for those fees, one would have to say Bale is gone and the whole thing has been played out to a certain extent.
I truly hope he stays in that team, and there must be an element at Spurs that are nudging and winking both AVB and Bale with all these (potential) new players saying "look, told you we meant what we said".
A large part of me knows that the squad will be in better shape in general, but disagrees with Spurs as a club being stronger. We wont be. That's why Madrid are after Bale and not Lamela, Soldado, Willian, Chadli, Capoue etc. He is on another level altogether.
Until United bought Van Persie, they were not box office football, only the power of the brand was. They were treading water and had no one who excited the imagination of the masses, and they knew it wasnt what they wanted to be, so they acted. Does anyone find themselves tuning in eagerly to every Barca match almost for Messi alone? I know I sometimes find myself disinterested if he's not on the pitch.
That is what Bale is. The unquantifiable. What people across the world will flock to Spurs games on TV just to witness. The last we had like that was Gazza. Maybe Klinsmann for period. It will be a long time before we see a player of quite that stupendous level at the Lane again, I'd imagine.
There is indeed a very good chance the team AVB puts out may garner the same number of points (or maybe even more), but let's not pretend that losing Bale would be anything other than significantly weakening Tottenham as a whole. They will have lost a world megastar, and the collective mind of the worlds football watching population will know and associate that act with Tottenham Hotspur, rather than focus on the myriad of deals financed as a result. It will be the difference between the masses being excited about Tottenham, and not.
How many great teams such as Porto, Benfica etc have you been exhilarated by over the years only to have your exhilaration turn to "meh" after they sell off their best. These teams rebuild, yes, but they are forever destined to never reach the promised land, I'd argue.
Maybe a poor comparison, but a cautionary tale nonetheless: How did Liverpool fare when given a blank cheque for Torres? Every conceivable angle and element of that deal went t1ts up. Nothing is guaranteed.
Nothing we can do about it as supporters, really. Just have to get on with it,cherish the memories, and try not to imagine what might have been. Whatever will be will be.
