Any argument for him staying is made purely on selfish reasons and lacks rationale. He does NOT need 'one more year at Tottenham to develop' as you keep hearing everywhere. If he wants to establish himself as one of the greats, he needs to be playing with, and learning from, the best of the best. Tottenham have nothing else to give him in that regards.

Half the players you listed enjoyed great success at big clubs however you look at it in Sheringham s case he won the treble scoring in the CL final I doubt he regrets it due to limited opportunity we he has winner medals to show for it Bale now faces the same question stay at a club that cant realistically challenge for the league or in Europe or go to a top club where opportunities might less but you come away a winner with medals to show for it.And your argument is because you want the best for Bale.![]()
However our argument does not lack rationale he is the main man at Spurs and there is a history of our great players going elsewhere and NOT progressing but spending time on the bench. No doubt he could learn from sitting on the bench in Madrid watching great players but would that be good for him!
Gazza - Lazio
Linekar - Barca
Sherringham - United
Berbatov - United
All these players spent more than their fair share of time on the bench or were played out of position to their detrement.
Of course we want to keep him at Spurs for selfish reasons, would you expect anything else, but another season with us will not do him any harm at all and could be the key to far more surprising things.
I wouldnt blame him for either choice tbh.Half the players you listed enjoyed great success at big clubs however you look at it in Sheringham s case he won the treble scoring in the CL final I doubt he regrets it due to limited opportunity we he has winner medals to show for it Bale now faces the same question stay at a club that cant realistically challenge for the league or in Europe or go to a top club where opportunities might less but you come away a winner with medals to show for it.

There have been loads of great players who have stayed at their boyhood clubs, look at Gerrard and Shearer. Both could have gone to bigger clubs than they stayed with and won lots more trophies.
Maybe he wont move!! Who's to say?
I doubt Spurs is his boyhood club tho Shearer I can understand he was Newcastle through and through being a geordie himself Gerrard has had a great career he lacks that league winners medal but has more than enough other medals to justify staying with Bale he knows he probably wont win anything with Spurs and doesnt have the same kind of connection to Spurs as Shearer and Gerrard have to their clubs.
Your arrogance is laughable. What do you think Chelsea were before the Russian money.

I remember what we were 5th 6th sometimes 4th placed club that had the odd cup run doesnt change the truth mate we achieved more in the 90s than the Spuds have in over 20 years.
