Heard from a source who works for Spurs that Bale WILL leave. I honestly believe it isn't a bad thing. If we can get 3 more £25 million players with the same quality as Soldado, then we are more likely to get a Champions League place than just having Bale alone.

Are you in a dreamworld. there's no way after soldado arrives Spurs will spend 75 million ( 3 x 25 million) on more players.

Would love lamela and Suarez. That would make us title contenders without a doubt

If this does happen then maybe Bernard can be brought in! As we would have the money

We need to accept the bale deal will be done. We can't turn down 100 odd mil and can maybe get another player that will improve the team before the start of the season. We should be happy we've finally got a world class striker, a world class midfielder and a potential star winger. I'm excited for the new season without bale if I'm honest. Ed can you clarify any fingers in pies at the moment?

Why wouldn't we invest the money back into the squad! Everybody has Champions League ambitions (including Levy) so surely the money would be better spend in the squad that put in Levy's back pocket!

The money doesn't go into levy's backpocket

Because we want a new stadium!

Plans for a new stadium are already well in motion and are not dependant of incoming transfer fees. Fact

When Bale leaves for £100m, we have to try to kill two birds with one stone, and get Coemtrao and DiMaria thrown in for £40m. Remember that Real Madrid like paying in instalments, and this will increase tge difficulty to make immediate funds avaialble for our own purchases.

If we can get £30m upfront with two players, then we can go and buy another striker, or get Christian Eriksen who seems a snip at £15m.

We are still owed £20m on the Modric deal, and this whole Bale affair is beginning to smell like a stadium medium term funding plan. I hope Levy does sell at £100m+, but remains mindful of the players we need to push on this year. {Ed002's Note - Forget the instalments. RM would like to include players in the deal or sell. Right now the status is that Coentrao remains possible but Di Maria is not interested in a move. Coentrao was withdrawn from any package as it looked like they could sell him (representing a better deal for Madrid). Now that looks off so he is back on again and they are looking at a replacement for him as well. They have had discussions with Chelsea over another player (although Chelsea would like to take two) which will help the cash pile. There remains a chance that Levy may get his way and push for Modric who Real Madrid want to hold on to now and/or Morata.}
