    Well what can I say! What an incredible player this lad has become and proving it at a world class club.

    You guys must be happy for the lad seeing as you were instrumental in his early progression!

    Is it a case of watch out Ronnie next season once Bale is settled!?

    Yep, FairPlay to him! It's difficult losing your best players, as I'm sure you can understand being an arsenal fan. But when players leave to go to club where they can win the most prestigious trophies in the game, you can't blame them.

    I was going to say you must have felt the same about Fabregas, but he hasn't become that incredible player, although he did have to move to a world class club to fulfil his ambitions.

    A thread made to wind us up bit has back fired as 99% of Spurs fans are happy for Bale and Modric.

    Such a sensitive bunch...

    If you feel a little wound up then I'm sorry. I think Bale is genuine world class! I'm a fan what can I say!

    Good for Sagna if he goes to City. I'd say we have had Sagna during his peak years so nothing wrong with a change of pasture.

    This season we have managed to reach top 4 as we have done for the past 16 seasons. It's the reason we were able to attract world class players like Ozil and now we have ended our trophy drought it will only add to the value of an already good squad. I'm sure you would like to see Ramsey leave but I think your clutching at straws a little. He just won Arsenal the FA cup so if there is one player whose happiest at Arsenal it's probably him.

    Indeed. Their MF should have been wearing navy blue shorts.
    And Spurs proving there is only one PL club to be at nowadays before moving to the very
    top of the tree.

    Have to say last night it was Modric that looked every inch a world class player.

    Bale is a very lucky boy. Was clearly crumbling under the pressure - couldn't control the ball after his miss.

    That goal might help him hit the heights in his next final, however.

    "Bale is a very lucky boy."

    Very selfish last night.
    The Bale of 2010-12 would have had other players in for at least
    two easy goals last night. Hmm, perhaps he IS ready to replace CR7 then.

    Bale had many a game like that for us, but you always had this feeling, that, at some point, he'd produce a worldie out of nothing. - and he often did.

    Modric was class last night. We're still looking for his replacement....

    Bale missed some good chances but where was Ronaldo all game? He hardly got into it and several other Real players had poor games.

    Ronaldo's been injured, maybe he wasn't fit? I hope DiMaria has played himself into Real's plans for next year. Lot of talk about him going to Arsenal.

    Yeah but Bale was a doubt too, wasn't he? Di Maria was superb, Real would be mad to sell him he's had a new lease of life playing in that deeper role.

    Hopefully Arsenal spend all their money on Khedira and Benzema, they're cack.

    Top 4 werent enough to keep your world class players...you got ozil cos real didnt want him...and after last night that decision was proved correct.
    as for clutching at straws...coughramseycough was a little joke..do try not to be so sensitive...he'll still be a gooner. ..until real, barca or city come knocking

    Real didn't want him this is true but there are many clubs that did and were in the running for his signature. All those clubs were involved in champions league football but he chose us.

    It's not sensitive to state someone is clutching at straws!

    In the same way it was proved correct for Madrid to offload him it was a great decision by us to buy him.

    When you compare Ozil to some of the dross spurs bought last summer you have to say Wenger has done a very good job.

    Players left previously because they wanted to win silverware. Next season that will not be the case ;)
