So if Suárez leaves then Bale will have to cut out diving.
A victory for football if Suárez leaves and Bale stays.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Hernandez, Nani, Valencia.Originally posted by Lee View PostDefinitely a possibility.
Who would United use in exchange if they were to include a couple of players? I suppose Spurs need a striker... Welbeck? Even though he's ****.

He's almost your age, you grizzled veteran.

Bale in a straight swap with Anderson, thus replacing one **** goal celebration with another.
If true, it will be interesting to see how Levy plays this one - especially after his outcry following Berbatov's transfer; who will he blame for selling his star player to a rival? Man Utd, the player or the FA?
And whilst I'm thinking on, isn't there more history between the two clubs? I'm sure there is a transfer which involves Spurs not meeting Man Utd's valuation, for a player to go abroad for a year, only to end up at Spurs on the cheap ... I just can't think of the exact details, but I'm sure Fergie went to town in the media.
EDIT: Zeki Fryers.
EDIT (Details):
With the clubs sharing similar visions of entertainment, they have often competed for the same type of player; Ferguson was furious when Paul Gascoigne signed for Tottenham from Newcastle, more philosophical when Southampton turned down his bid for Gareth Bale, then sold Bale to Spurs shortly afterwards.
The latter transfer in 2007 was a coup for the Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy, who has been something of a thorn in United's side ever since. A year earlier he had managed to prise some £13 million plus extras out of them for Michael Carrick, pushing the price much higher than many supporters of both clubs considered at the time to be good value. The following summer the object of United's attention was Dimitar Berbatov, which led to Levy complaining about "a blatant example of sheer arrogance and interference with one of our players" and accusations of hypocrisy, given that Ferguson had recently complained about Real Madrid's underhand pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo. The seed was sown, however, and an unsettled Berbatov duly moved almost on the last stroke of the transfer window, though not until Levy had driven the fee up to £30m by having a newly enriched Manchester City bid as well.
Luka Modric provided the next battleground between the clubs, Levy holding out against selling to a Premier League rival such as United or Chelsea and getting another season out of the Croatian before selling at huge profit to Real Madrid – just as United did with Ronaldo.
The latest skirmish was fought over the promising young United defender Ezekiel Fryers, who spent last summer training with Tottenham, only to discover that they would not meet United's demands for a fee of up to £6m. The player moved to Standard Liège, who under Uefa regulations did not need to pay as much, only to return to Tottenham a fortnight ago claiming the new Standard manager did not rate him.
Ferguson smelt not so much a rat but a whole colony of rodents, declaring: "To me, I think it's a blatant manipulation of the rules. It's a Daniel Levy deal. You know, it's his fingerprints all over it. It's the kind of thing we expected he was going to do. I'm disappointed in Tottenham, I really am. I think it's a blatant manipulation of the situation. All of a sudden he signs for Standard Liège and when I heard that I expected him to go to Tottenham in January."
United stopped short of making a formal protest to the League. But it is fair to say that the manager will be especially keen, having suffered an unusual defeat over Fryers, to avoid an equally rare loss at White Hart Lane; his first there since 2001.
