Gareth Bale

Levy has probably turned it down because it's £50m plus Di Maria and Coentrao. Maybe he wants neither and wants the cash? Or maybe he thinks he can get more money. Madrid have been stupid enough to promise the signing of Bale to it's fans. With all their elections and stuff someone is going to look stupid if they don't sign him...so they'll go higher (like they did with Modric)

Levy has balls when it comes to dealing with players at his club who want out. He'd bust Suarez's balls that's for sure

had to laugh - this morning on bbc gossuip part

one paper says - "levy giving bale the silent treatment"

next paper says - "levy cancels holiday to see bale"

soo... he's cancelled his holiday, to fly home, and then sit in silence staring at bale

[PTP]

anyway - spurs, fair play to them, they've got a decent squad imo - FM thinking now, but if they got £50m plus di maria and coentrao for Bale, and then signed Soldado for £30m and a good centre half for £20m - they'd look very good.

Sorry PTP but Fernadinho signed for City

You're thinking of Paulinho

Even without the sale of Bale they have a good squad, better than ours which is so obvious I find it hard to believe people question it. The gap isn't massive but there is a gap.

same thing

but yes i'd agree - even if they kept Bale and didn't sign a centre half or striker - they still look to have a very strong squad

Paul Kelso @pkelso
Gareth Bale set on move to Real Madrid, believes initial offer already made, attitudes hardening on both sides #THFC

Coral @Coral
@pkelso Interesting shift in the Bale betting today too. Now favoured to leave White Hart Lane for the first time. 4/7 to go, 5/4 to stay.

Surely if this happens it would rule out them moving for Luis. Surely?

I think it would but at the minute I'm not certain if that's a good thing, if Suarez wants to leave the worst case scenario is we sell up to Arsenal for less than we want on the final week or we keep an unhappy player.

[Pablo]

We keep an unhappy player. He won't be unhappy for long. Once his ban is over he'll back into the swing of things. He's football obsessed, he'll be fine.

[Muddled]

I have such an irrational dislike of the guy ... I can't explain it! I hope he goes to Madrid and bombs.

Yeah but he's already going to miss 6 games of this season and that's without getting banned this season, which lets be honest based on previous season is likely to happen.

My question is, would we be better keeping Suarez for one more season with him missing, say 9 games which I think is fair to presume. Or cashing in and taking £45m?

It's a tough question to answer. With a heavy heart I'd probably take £50m+ from a foreign team, but the only club willing to bid anywhere near that seems to be Arsenal and well they can **** off!
