AVB's shoes...
Selling a player to better the team isn't something a fan would be for?

Re: Gareth Bale
The group of us who go together remind each other every game to enjoy watching him while we can. It's not often that Spurs fans have been able to say that they get to see a genuine world class player in the shirt. Other than Ledley, Gazza was the last one. Both those two were, sadly, prevented by injury from fulfilling their potential. Hopefully no such fate for Gareth.
We're all resigned to him leaving this summer. Ideally, I'd rather he stayed but if he does go, then £56 million would at least be one hell of a parting gift.

That's probably the sort of money that Falcao would go for, and he's the hottest commodity in world football right now!

Quantity replacing quality doesn't better the team. You seem to be assuming that we'd reinvest the money in top players ... lol.

Re: Gareth Bale
Yes, i am assuming we would reinvest the money in top players. Exactly like we did with the Modric Money.
Not particularly far fetched to be honest.
Bale is a special talent, he will not be here with us forever, I wouldn't at all be surprised if he left during the summer. 56m would make that a hell of a lot easier to take.
Are we done or will the wummery continue?

Re: Gareth Bale
Have to agree with this. I'm not convinced Levy is willing to spend the sort of money to get us players like Willian or Moutinho.

Re: Gareth Bale
I think he'd prefer someone of a slightly lesser reputation and therefor a slightly lower fee. It's about finding those that will become the next Moutinho or Willian. We've done it once with Modric and Bale, now we just have to do it again.

Re: Gareth Bale
Dempsey has been good recently yes, well done.
Which leaves the sig.
So are we just going to ignore Verts, Lloris and Dembele just because they wouldn't suit your point?

Re: Gareth Bale
They are more less fighting for the same spot and Dempsey isn't doing too bad.

Re: Gareth Bale
But then you would potentially have to wait at least a year, possibly longer for them to come good. Whereas Moutinho would be good for us pretty much straight away assuming he adapts to the premier league.

Re: Gareth Bale

Re: Gareth Bale
Yeah, good, not Luka Modric though is he. We sold other players too, they cover the other 3 who are all very good but still not Modric or VDV good. So we sell Bale, that's 3 great players sold within a year and replacing them with about 10 good ones makes us stronger? Because it doesn't.

He described them as top players, I guess I have a different understanding of the word top.

Re: Gareth Bale
jordinho is not about buying ready made players that are expensive, or at least he doesnt think levy and / or AVB are about that...but focus heavily on undiscovered or unproven talented young players.
not too far from the truth IMO......been preaching it for years that its what levy was about...and i feel AVB is more of an obedient employee than Harry

Re: Gareth Bale
No, he's not Luka Modric. The Luka Modric that wanted to leave, the Luka Modric we had very little choice about letting go.
Oddly there are very few players out there who are as good as Luka Modric, and the majority of them are well outside our wage structure, which is why we have to buy them when they are 'unproven'.
3 great players sold in a year if bale goes? Well imo Verts, Lloris and Dembele will be great players, and added to that we gained a bit of depth so yes, it does make us stronger in the long run.
