Absolutely zero quotes again. How exactly do the bbc (or anyone) know what Bale wants to do without actually speaking to him or his representatives? You've been done by the journos there
I tend to feel the same. It just feels that no matter who we could sign, they wouldn't be as exciting. It's a pleasure to watch Bale more than anything. His sprinting down the wing, the ground he covers with the ball, his pin point accuracy when passing, his crosses, his free kicks... and obviously his bullet of a shot. However mate, we can't bury our heads in the sand. These discussions are happening for a reason. If this meeting between his agent, levy and parents is true, I fear the worst. I also can't help but think that his agent has instigated these stories to the spanish media as he's going to be getting a very large cut, should a transfer happen.
i fear the best! Weren't his parents pivotal in him picking us in the first place? Aren't they supposedly quite level headed? They could be our one ace in the pack. They're not gonna want their kid and AVB junior living in another country are they?
From an outsider (Chelsea fan), if the £'s banded around are for real, then I think it will be difficult for any club to turn down. Add to that, he will move away from the Premier League and you would expect a player of his quality to want to play Champions League (and challenge) year in, year out. I appreciate that my example below does not include salaries (so not an exact like-for-like comparison), but to put it in perspective, Chelsea got Mata, Oscar, Hazard and Moses for around £85m. In reality, it looks like it will happen - what's key, is how the Board "use" the money!
Rather slective with what you picked from that. I got - no bid and Spurs hopeful of keeping him. I love the fact that Ronaldo played centrally, so its clear he's preparing for Bale.
The agent will get a very large cut even if the transfer doesn't happen, because he will be instrumental in Bale signing a new contract with us. In fact, it would be in the agent's interest to ensure that Bale signs a new contract with us, because he'll get another fat fee at the start of next season, when Bale does leave for Real.
EXACTLY! He's better off getting his client a new deal every year than getting a bigger payout and getting **** all for the next 6-7 years at Real. Because that is the sort of length deal they'll tie him into. Bale will do very well on the high wages but the agent will get 1 payout.
Indeed. The hack journo forgot to mention that Bale's own preference is to play centrally. Probably because that fact doesn't fit in with the elements that he has been able to cobble together in order to invent his story. The only factual news in that piece is that Levy will not sell, at any price.
Bale's parents will be shown outside the Lane kissing the cockerel before the end of the day. Also, with rude picture depicting Zidane/Perez and a dildo. You heard it here first
I never want my cock shortened SD. In fact, quite the opposite. That is why i'm on the internet right now, i've heard it has a solution....
This. Plus add to the fact we already have signed Chadli and Paulinho so signing another 4 players means for the 2nd year running we will 5-6 new players to bed in.
Remember when Newcastle sold Andy Cole and there was an angry mob outside the gates of St James Park? If, and i mean IF, Bale is sold should we do the same? Stadium needs demolishing anyway doesn't it?
Yeah, but Keegan pulled off the neat trick of shutting them up by signing Shearer. I can't see Levy pulling anything like that out of the hat...just hop he can persuade a bale to stay..
Real haven't even made a bid for him yet. What a load of old crap. I fully expect them to come in with some ****ty, lowball opener in the next few days. We shouldn't even entertain the idea until they've paid for Modric.
