Desailly - "Bale should go"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22648898


lol Desailly having a little dig at Spurs

 

Cant argue with the great man.

 

A culture of victory. Ha. Brilliant.

 

Its a question of "Who can afford him?" Tottenham are bound to demand £50m+ and then £150k p.w There's only 2 or 3 in the PL and apart from Man City I cant see a bid coming! FFP and all that might put off the rest!

 

""Experience to play at a very high level at a club that has the culture of victory, a club that has trophies in the cupboard - not one or two, but plenty"

Bale needs to get out of the negative spiral

 

he has probably outgrown the Spuds
if he stays and they miss CL again he will definately leave

 

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.

 

Wants to keep his big mouth shut, and his nose out of other peoples business

 

If he wants to stay at Spurs fair enough, if he doesnt, you cant blame them for trying to get him to stay, if they keep selling their best players then they will never win anything, ala Arsenal.
But at the end of the day, if he wants to leave and they cant convince him, they should let him go. They will get good $$ for him

 

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.

 

It's simple, Champions League football is a must have in order to keep Bale and help Spurs win trophies. Desailly is 100% correct and I doubt he'd have said anything had Spurs made top four.

As for Bale himself, he looks as though he's willing to give it another shot for top 4 with Spuds and fair play to him. He has plenty of time and is standing out at Spurs as one of the best in the league, and looks like he's about to sign a nice big contract for the next year. Don't blame him one bit for staying put.

 

I disagree I am afraid Drogs.

Regardless of whether Spurs get into CL or not next season, they simply are not a big enough club to keep Him
Long term.

He will move to a club with a winning culture in a positive spiral, despite Mystic smeg and cliff jones' soothsaying

 

All down to Levy I suppose. If they get CL they'll ultimately attract better players, but they have to loosen the purse strings at the same time to continue attracting.

 

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.

 

I wouldnt blame him for either choice tbh.
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.

 

Depends whether your priority is enjoying your football or boasting about medals. You seem to measure success only by medals won, I don't nor do all footballers. If you cannot see that the possibility that doing something with Spurs would be a greater achievment than just joining Real Madrid then I see little point in debating it. He is young it's an easy decision to give it one more go at Spurs and then reaccess the situation. Perhaps he should have gone to Wigan for an FA Cup medal.

 

Yep, as I thought you are a my dads bigger than yours guy. Not interested thanks
