Re: Gareth Bale
This is 100% all coming from Jonathan Barnett IMO. He should tread very carefully IMO because there are plenty of nutters out there wanting to take a pop at him should they meet him in the street, at an event etc.
I honestly think football clubs and chairman have an opportunity to take the power back in this window, the power has swung to much in the favour of agents and players. As Gary Neville said yesterday, if clubs like Utd have to bow to the feet of any player and sell them we might as well all give up and go home.

Spurs fans are extremely active online. Suddenly his name and that of his client are headlining and trending. And not in good way. Levy & Co must wonder why such dialogues are taking place, when the player has several years to run on his contract. And they have a point. Is the agent whoring, or is he not whoring? And if he isn’t whoring, then what is it that he is doing?
@SpursNewsForum being bright, emailed Jonathan Barnett direct, in an effort to get to the truth of the matter:
@SpursNewsForum: Just trying to confirm these quotes from the Marca interview are attributed to you? Any comment on the matter?
JB: Yes I gave the interview which I hope you read the whole interview
@SpursNewsForum: Thank you for your speedy response. I haven’t read the whole interview. I must admit at first glance it didn’t seem great reading for Spurs fans, then again we know how Marca can twist people’s words.
JB:Words completely out of context.i [sic] also said we have not spoken to anyone and that gareth [sic] is a spurs player.
@SpursNewsForum: Finally, a possibility Gareth could still sign a contract extension at Spurs?
JB: Yes its [sic] a possibility.
@SpursNewsForum: Thank you for all of this Jonathan.
JB: Pleasure just don’t kill the agent.we are not so bad.
@SpursNewsForum: It’s not that I have anything against agents in general, but we have had agents disrespect the club and it’s fans before.
JB: I have never done that and my record proves that.spurs fans should recognise that and give me some credit
@SpursNewsForum: I understand. Unfortunately the media have a tendency to ignore facts and run with the biggest story.
JB: Thank you. Please let the fans know that
