Will we make a counter bid?Forwards....... -
Nope.
To elaborate...I don't think we've ever been linked with him. It's always been Utd and Spurs...so the chances of us announcing our interest now are remote, especially as we're pretty busy with our own bit of business today.

There was a link about when we signed Elias for the Academy. I don't think that a left back is high enough up our list of priorities to warrant the sort of fee that will be charged for Bale anyway.Originally posted by Gingawaria View Post
I guess we just have to hope that Insua turns out to be the better prospect in the end."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

Doubt it - why would we want to pay £8m(figure being bandied around) for 18 year old Gareth Bale, when we have 18 year old Emiliano Insua on loan with an option to buy for £1-1.5m??Comment

Spurs sign £10m Bale
Southampton and Spurs have reached agreement on a potential £10m transfer fee for Welsh defender Gareth Bale.
Spurs will make an immediate payment of £5 million, with further additional payments that could see Bale's transfer cost the London club £10m.
The 17-year-old Wales full-back completed his medical on Thursday and is understood to have arranged a four-year deal with Spurs.
Bale had only one year left on his Southampton contract.
The youngster had also been linked with moves to Arsenal and Manchester United.
Spurs had a bid of about £10m accepted by Saints in January, but Bale rejected the transfer at that time.
Following Southampton's failure to gain promotion this season the prospect of first-team football in the Premiership at Tottenham looks to have been enough to change his mind.
Bale made his debut as a 16-year-old last year for Saints - becoming the second youngest to ever play for the club - and this season he has become a regular for Southampton and Wales.
He became the youngest Welsh international when he played against Trinidad & Tobago in May last year, setting up a late winner.
West Ham and Wales centre-back James Collins says his international team-mate will shine in the Premiership.
"It's a fantastic move and Gareth's a fantastic player, I hope it all goes well for him," said Collins, who joined the Hammers from Cardiff two seasons ago.
"It's a massive leap from Championship to Premiership, but he came in at international level and did so well.
"He's so young and has plenty of time, he'll be a star in the Premiership."Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

it is a done deal. Really hope Insua iturns out to be decent or Aurelio stays injury free. Don't want Risse at left back any moreComment
