Breaking news on ssn, shame that, that's the second time he's turned us down after he joined Spurs from Southampton, he woiuld've been the ideal Ryan Giggs replacement.
He cost Madrid £86 Million, I wouldn't have wanted us to pay that much for him. He's very good, but there's a line where sill money becomes absured and £86 Million for Bale was absured. I don't think Bale has turned us down once, he didn't turn us down when he moved to Tottenham because Southampton didn't accept our bid and there's nothing to confirm that Perez is telling the truth, it wouldn't be the first time he's made stories up for his own agenda. Even if it was though, there was certainly no confirmation anywhere that Tottenham had accepted a bid from us. Perhaps Tottenham simply told Madrid we had made a bid to get them to up their offer, this kind of thing happens a lot, it's not always true.
Based on your performance in the market this summer, Moyes probably bid £40m & a pallet of Swizzles after hearing Madrid had put £86m on the table.....
£86m is a silly money but based on how our wingers are doing, I wouldn't mind if we had paid that much for him. After all, it's just gonna end up in Glazers' pockets.
