Transfer Rumours Gareth Bale

I don't think we got any sell on for Bale did we?

Not his fault though.

HIAG rinsed again. Just waiting for Alderwiereld to confirm his move to Utd now for HIAG's double whammy **** up

 

I thought we did but waived it when in the **** n took some cash with forecast part of deal?

 

He's like the anti-ITK

 

Nope, think we ended up paying you an extra few mil upfront (instead of part of the intended instalments) but done so on the basis the sell-on fee was waived.

 

He's the KFA (knows **** all) of the transfer world

 

Also it's a lot of bollocks about Spurs 'making' him as a player. He was almost sold to Birmingham because 'Arry didn't rate him.

It was only because Bale turned down the move and wanted to 'fight' for his place that he didn't end up at Brum.

 

Yep, he’s an honourable bloke.

 

... and Harry gave him his chance, which was the making of him.

You really don’t understand how this works, do you, Pix!

 

'Arry was going to sell him to Birmingham you plum Your gaffer was ready to bin him, Spurs got lucky with Bale.

 

"...was going to..." but didn't.

The rocket that our Harry put up the young lad's arse was what he needed to push on, and the rest is history.

And you call me a plum!

 

I've just read that piece and it is typical hack journalism.

The only factual thing in it is what Bale said in his interview after the game. Everything else is pure speculation.

They don't even know what's in Bale's contract ffs!

It's Noddy journalism at it's best!

 

I read your board, all journalism is "hack" unless it says what you want to hear

 

That isn't the case.

For me, I'm interested in direct-source facts, not what is "understood" to be the case.

That Sky story is nothing more than that - a work of pure fiction.

 

Both Sky and BBC reporting the same thing, probably protecting their source at this point in time

 

Both "news" sources have jumped to same wild speculative conclusions based on Bale stating that he should be playing more football, and that he needs to sit down with his agent to "discuss" his future.

The fact that United and Chavs - the archetypal vulture clubs - have allegedly expressed an interest is neither here nor there.

 

United and Chelsea don't really come into it (though I think he would do very well at Chelsea), the thing that rules Spurs out is the money constrictions. Personally I think he would be best suited to Bayern but again the money may rule that out.

 

We're all assuming that Bale is simply going to go to whomever is prepared to pay him a bucket load of wages.

He didn't go to Real for the money, he went for the glory.

If he's going to come back to the Prem, the only club he's likely to consider - if glory remains his goal - is City.

 

But the money helps
