So it will be the 4th ground you would have had then.

Nice to know people get some solace from counting numbers backwards. <laugh>

I don't need any 'solace' as I couldn't really care less how many grounds we have had but if you make a wumming post you should at the very least get your terminology and facts right. If I was being as pedantic as you I would point out that we didn't have a ground at all until 1898 as we played on public pitches. When we moved 100 yards one year later we actually took the stand with us! And we are not proposing a move, just redeveloping the current stadium much as Chelsea did to Stamford Bridge in the 70s (when the pitch was actually moved as the new stands were built, just as we are planning).

It is speculative, but the point though, is that if a spurs fan came on the Arsenal board and said Wenger doesn't want to spend money, then they would be obviously wrong as we have just submitted a forty million pound bid for Suarez. On the other hand is the Spuds new stadium which they want to build, and Levy has said that unless it can be financed, it won't happen. Therefore it is not that much of a speculative leap to suggest that if Real make offer an offer that would pay for a third of that stadium in one go, Levy might use it for that purpose.

That's a fair comment, but if we assume (now I am making assumptions) that the spending already completed was not reliant on the sale of Bale then investing half of profit made on Bale (say £40m) in helping to ensure the future of the club and the rest in playing staff would seem logical (to a neutral at least)!

Don't get tetchy because you've been proved wrong mate, most people know how many grounds their team have had since formation. Also you are on the Chelsea board, how can I be wumming? We talk about the same **** your motley bunch do are you wumming too?

I'm not tetchy nor have I been proved wrong. Your initial post said we would soon have moved grounds four times. We've actually only moved twice and are not planning a move currently, that doesn't come to four in any way of counting. You are in a hole - stop digging! And you do WUM on your own Board. Posting about Spurs moving grounds on a thread entitled 'Bale on his way' is almost the definition of wumming.

Not interested mate, you have nothing to say I want to read. Go wum on your own board we already have two thirds of your problem posters on here don't add to it. :)

If the new stadium is in the long term interests of Spurs then it should be the priority for any resources that are available so of course a large payment for Bale could help the project. Not sure why this is controversial in any way. It shouldn't be the primary driver in the decision to sell or not, though. That is quite simple - sell if the offer is more than Bale is worth to us. That needs to be a very large offer because of his value as a player and his value for marketing.

All I was doing was pointing out factual errors in your post, which you then argued incorrectly were not errors, but if you don't want to hear about your mistakes then by all means put me on ignore and I'll debate with the grown ups

How much is his value in marketing though? Despite apparently being the 3rd best player in the world, globally he wasn't even in the top 10 of Premier League player shirts sold.

I imagine he'd be quite marketable for Real given their stature in world football but does he really add much to Spurs currently?

Well NBC are going all-out to promote the Premier League in the United States and Gareth Bale is their poster boy (or should that be billboard boy) for the campaign.

The results speak for themselves...

Well I for one am extremely proud of our club remaining in the same spot throughout our entire existence. I believe we're the only ones in top flight to have done so.

Wouldn't you rather be in Chelsea <whistle>

Plenty of smaller clubs have not wanted to sell their players to bigger clubs in the past, doesn't stop it from happening though. Especially when the player has indicated that he wants to further his career at a club that can match his ambition.

Like Nasri? or Fabregas? or Clichy? or RVP? or Henry? Guess you've got a point

No, I don't believe he would after 108 years of history at the bridge. Wouldn't you like to be at Tottenham Marshes, I mean Northumberland Park, No, I meant White Hart Lane or is it the Northumberland nomad project!

You know what I mean.:cheesy:
 
I remember that **** Ensil had the cheek to call us nomads for wanting to move to Battersea/Earls Court for the first time in our existence.

Drogs - myself I would hesitate to compare Robby with Ensil - wouldn't wish that on anyone......

Robby's definition of the word 'nomad' - someone who moves 100 yards in 114 years

100yards <laugh>

It's over 400 Metres from Tottenham Marshes to Northumberland Park as the crow flies and Northumberland Park is well over a 1000 metres from your present **** hole which is far bigger than any stadia you have ever had which constitutes three new grounds. Hardly a refurb is it <doh>

That's twice I have had to correct your ignorance about your own nomads. FFS you've had more moves than Pickfords. <ok><laugh>
