would like it to happen because his name is fun to say
the right sort of price range for us as well sort of a modric/berbatov/dembele type transfer
If we get him in the summer, I'll be happy.
Big if, mind.

AVB's mate Duncan Castles saying we're not going to buy anyone this window except Holtby, and rather he's going to wait and use the Bale cash to get Leandro and Moutinho in the summer.

I think it's 50/50 whether Bale leaves or not. Depends on how much money Real are willing to spend and if Gareth himself might want to stick around for one more season.
I just get the feeling there's a mutual understanding between Levy and Bale that if Real come calling he wants to go there, but they would still have to come up with the cash though.
A gentleman's agreement you say... Well...
There could obviously be an understanding like this between them, maybe even a clause in his contract. I just don't get the feeling from Bale that he's in a hurry to move to Real, that he's massively enjoying his football with us and that he might even see that moving to Real has been a less than stellar move for some brilliant footballers.

I'm not really too bothered about it. If he stays, great, but if not, we get loads of money. I'm just not expecting him to stay.
Lowering expectations to avoid ending up crying into an old Holsten kit is probably a good idea.
What we did with the Modric and VdV money in the summer does give me some confidence that AVB and Levy would put the money to good use should we be forced to sell Bale.
