IF you guys are selling Bale, then you are very smart in doing your business. Get your targets before you sell, when clubs know you have £80m+ then you open yourself up to be ripped off (Like us with Carroll). If you are not selling Bale then this is some intent, perhaps Gareth will look at the squad now and think maybe another year wouldn't hurt.
 
I can't say, but I did Google his name and he has a large presence on the Internet.

ITV News were the first to mention his name today, hence they get kudos on not606 until they're found out to be shysters.
 
This is from DiMarzio - Sky's Italy (not Spain you'll notice) reporter (Google translation). I like the last 3 words!

Gareth Bale to Real Madrid. And Tottenham is ready to invest around for other players. The transfer of the Welsh Merengues will yield to the coffers of the English club about 93 million pounds. For this reason, there has been accelerated for Willian, for whom they were offered 35 million pounds and was passed Liverpool, a direct competitor of these days. And there has been an acceleration even for Erik Lamela, who can go to England. Roma are in London. Tottenham is unleashed.

Isn't that a contradiction in terms?

No, but it's normally written as part of obituary when they've died in suspicious circumstances.

Sandro's retweeted that. <yikes>
 
Potentially big news about Gareth Bale and Real Madrid. Sky Italia is reporting that the two clubs have agreed a deal of £93m for the Welshman and that the transfer may be concluded today!!! And why would Sky Italy know this, you may ask, and that is a fair point - although it has to be said that they reported that Pep Guardiola was joining Bayern Munich long, long before anyone else. So they have been right before.
.
 
Cheers PNP, Sandro is stirring it then!

Either that or the reports are actually accurate and he's on his way.
Are we just going to have a team of French, Belgian and Brazilian players? Dawsinho and Walkao will adjust, I guess.

The Sky Italia bid is basically £80m + Coentrao, which is what everyone's been suggesting for ages, by the way.
Wouldn't surprise me though, to be honest, especially if we're in talks with every player in the world ever, as has been suggested.
Are we just trying to prevent Arsenal from signing anyone by buying them all ourselves?

what is a Welsh Meringue? Some sort of pudding?
 
If this stuff all goes through, then our summer window's been absolutely crazy and we still haven't hit our usual deadline day drama bollocks, yet.
 
Jaysis, it's suddenly everywhere that Ba;e's gone for around 90m + Coentrau !

It all stems from the same report, though. Wouldn't surprise me if it was true. We're spending a lot of money and it has to come from somewhere.

Tbf, that is an utterly awesome deal for us.

Its got to the point now that i'm happy with the window regardless of Bale and assuming Willian is coming.
If Lamela comes in too then pants may be ruined
