Both Manchester United and chelsea. Are trying to scupper the bale deal

1.) 26 Aug 2013
Well Manchester United and Chelsea can royally do one. If he's to be sold, he is leaving the prem.

We won't sell to chelsea ever can you imagine the stick levy would get especially after they beat us to willian.

This is a tv story.
They like to use their 'sources' to reveal breaking stories.
They also move the odds on their betting site to entice us to have a flutter.
Its one of their oldest tricks in the book.
Deadline day is a massive money maker for them.
Don't believe anything about bale. It's Madrid or spurs and, in my opinion, they can't afford him. The reason it's taken this long, again my opinion, is that we and Madrid are trying to persuade certain players to move our way. It will all pan out this week, that's for sure.

We all know which TV company I was talking about above ^^

COYMFS,

There has been interest in Bale from several clubs, RM who we all know have bid, but now a very similar offer has now come in from france, either PSG or Monaco, now IMO Bale will not leave us for anybody in France, so his only real destination is RM, but what this will do now is make RM to either put up or shut up, there are to be no players exchanged in the deal for Bale, it is cash and a lot of it. I still think there is a chance he may remain with us, HE still hasn't said anything publicly and I am wondering if he maybe having second thoughts of joining what seems to be an already unsettled RM.

Bale heading back home madrid refusing to pay how spurs want and levy pissed off how madrid trying to push ahead without approval ie showing bale 11 shirt for sale

Levy is a shrewd business man but I think he has learnt for his mistakes and can't see this being a deadline day deal!

We should try to keep him imagine our squad add Lemala and chiriches keep bale and we will put pressure on the top boys

With a net spend of 40 odd million, to keep bale and add another 30 million pound player in Lamela?

where is all this money coming from without champions league?

common sense would be handy

Tv revenue will be about 60mill this season.

10.) 27 Aug 2013
If you look at the transfers over the recent years and tv monies in the past and future we have more than enough money to KEEP bale and BUY lamela, bale will go but if he didn't we would get lamela and have bale in the same side (my mouth waters) AVB is getting the backing perhaps the other managers didn't deserve due to their limitations

Yes where is the money coming from? Now what a lot of posters need reminding is that we don't actually know anything about clubs finances apart from.the typical sponsor deals, wealth of.owners and comp money. everyone can speculate and people pressume tha the money being.spent is what we expect to receive for bale. now chances are yes it os the bale money. But people forget that we have wealthy billionaire owners ourselves. just because it isn't pubicized news like chelski and man city doesn't mean we might not use pur sugar daddy too. i'm not saying this is the case but I wouldn't be shocked in the.end if bale stayed with all this money being spent plus more. (i know he's going). We could potentially finance such a scenario. now why you and I don't know this is for good reasons. why should we know? If we had the image of a rich club we would be spending above the odds for players exactly like the big clubs. this is clever business for us if its the case. just remember you aren't the accountant and you know nothing of what we or other clubs are capable of.
