Gareth Bale

Re: Gareth Bale

Its funny that all of you are going ape brick at the likes of Zidane for 'tapping up' Bale.

If Bale wants to stay no amount of tapping up will encourage him to move and vice versa. If Bale wants to go, it wouldnt be due to any fudgein 'tapping up'.
 
Re: Gareth Bale

If these quotes are true and are from today/yesterday, then they are disgraceful but also interesting.

It means nothing is happening basically are Madrid are starting to lose their cool.

But what about the partnership? Surely Levy is going to have to shout at them a bit.
 
Re: Gareth Bale

The tapping up is all part of Levy's master plan which is to drive the price up to about 140mil and then sell to PSG.
 
Re: Gareth Bale

It's pretty poor, and we are talking about people on Real Madrid's payroll.
This is tapping up, I think if we made a complaint to UEFA we'd have pretty strong grounds.

Don't think this is tapping up to be fair. These are public quotes in the press and don't really mean anything. Tapping up would be direct contact with Bale by RM without permission of Spurs which I don't think there's any evidence of.

Fella, this is tapping up. Trust me.

hmmmmmm not sure.......

Its just generally a poor way for a club to behave......... they dont need to tap up once they get their wish.......player wants to leave makes it difficult and gives them the advantage in negotiations.

Madrid are just the biggest bully's in the playground who are not used to hearing the word no.

In two years time some other player will be the hot new thing and because bale doesnt manage to outscore messi or something he will be labelled a failure by delusional half-wit fans (like myself).......he will be chewed up and spat out by this so called wonderful club. The name real madrid means something to me but the people working behind the name seem to have zero class. This partnership is a joke!!!!!!!! in what partnership would someone be happy with the other behaving like this?

It was strange with Harry I appreciated knowing what was going on to an extent and whether tabloid rumours were garbage or not but I found his talking of other clubs players made me feel a little uncomfortable. Bottom line AVB is more proffesional and while we have zero clues as to whats actually going on it looks like we are going about our business in the correct way and when we do land some signings it will feel more special.....like opening presents without sneak looking at them first.

Back on topic Levy is no mug and im sure he is not impressed by the daily poop coming from Madrid....however with this partnership I seriously doubt we will report them....lol

someone remind me what we get from this partnership?????? other than having a bully twist our arm to nick our best player!!!!!

There was talk at the time of Modric's transfer of a pre-season friendly against Real Madrid at the Lane, but that will now involve RCD Espanyol.
 
Re: Gareth Bale

Interesting how Real can't stop talking about Bale, while Suarez can't stop talking about needing to go to Real.
 
Re: Gareth Bale

Depends what you mean by tapping up. I don't think they've done anything that violates the regulations, so in that respect it's not tapping up.

If you're just saying that they're trying to unsettle Bale to make a transfer more likely that could obviously be the case. Although I don't think it will have much of an effect, it's not like Bale will wake up reading the newspaper one day suddenly realizing that he's a fantastic footballer and that Real Madrid wants to sign him. I'm guessing he's picked up on both those by now.

Gareth Bale could make up to £3m a year if he trademarks his celebration gesture

Gareth Bale could stand to make up to £3m a year if he successfully trademarks his now famous goal celebration gesture.

Tottenham's star man has filed an application to the Intellectual Property Office to trademark a logo copying his gesture of a number 11, his shirt number, inside a heart.

Bale first showcased his 'Eleven of Hearts' celebration in 2010 for childhood sweetheart Emma Rhys-Jones with whom he had a daughter last year.

An independent tribunal will decide in the next two months whether he can trademark the logo.

Director of sports marketing agency brandRapport Nigel Currie said: "The possibilities are huge for Gareth Bale. Once he has that right he can cash in on it and become a more well-known player.

"A third of his overall income could be made from his image rights, potentially up to £3million a year."

Bale has applied to trademark the logo for use on headgear, footwear, jewellery and clothing as well as various leather goods including travelling bags and umbrellas.

The 23-year-old, who scored 31 goals for club and country last season, will follow in the footsteps of David Beckham who has also cashed in on his image rights.

Currie added: "Beckham does various things for various brands, but having this logo gives you the opportunity to use it as the brand image.

"It can appear on any sort of product he wants, so it has massive potential.

"Once you have got something that is readily identifiable with the person and has the potential to be seen by millions every time he scores a goal, then it becomes more and more recognisable globally."

For what its worth Real currently have no one wearing number 11 in their squad.
 
Re: Gareth Bale

Perez says a week ago: "We are not going to talk too much about Bale because he plays at a very amicable club and they will be annoyed by too much talk about him I know their chairman well and he doesn't like things like that"

And in the following week Modric and Zidane have piped up again. Laughable
 
Re: Gareth Bale

NOT ITK from me, but I read that the club are considering reporting Madrid and PSG as well as naming agents and journos they consider complicit in the tapping up. We're not afraid just tinkled off. PSG are a second tier club and always will be however much money they have...
 
Re: Gareth Bale

Why anyone would go to psg other than to earn a fortune is beyond me. French ligue is fudging rubbish from what i have seen
 
Re: Gareth Bale

Well, Fred Hermel, spanish journo & friend of Florentino Perez just said on French radio:

- Madrid have priority if we do sell Bale, that as sorted during negociations for Modric
- Levy & Perez are big mates, this down to their wifes according to him
- Says this one will drag on all summer and could be done 31st August...

Fred Hermel spoke to Florentino Perez today about so take this as 100% genuine. They hang out together.
