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.
