I'm not too sure of anyone previously has touched on this but the way Real Madrid have gone about trying to buy Gareth Bale is surely in breach of some FIFA rules? Apparently they reserved the no. 11 shirt for him, created a mock up of him in the shirt and banged on about him in every interview they have given. Is tapping up now allowed? {Ed002's Note - And they will be making a bid for him.}

Believable17 Unbelievable2

Yeah, I think he's off to Madrid. No 1 target is Bale and not Suarez. Arsenal will get him. Spurs to finish mid-table next year. {Ed008's Note - If mid table is top 6 then your correct..

Agree4 Disagree23

He won't be going to Madrid this year that's for sure. Levi won't let that happen. Next year I would say yes even if we're in the CL, He will go. that's my opinion.

Mid-table. Surely you don't think that. AVB & Baldini will pull off a few more signing. Bernard, Damiao, & Soldado.

We that's me just wishful thinking. They would be my targets. If not Damiao then Gomez.

Agree9 Disagree7

I can't see any of these little stunts enticing levy to play ball this year or maybe even next. how they conduct there business is atrocious and I hope if levy does sell next year it is to a different club

Agree6 Disagree2

Bale might go I say its 50/50 but I think he will stay another season also i'd like to say Suarez is more likely to go to madrid he won't be staying in the prem he's already said he will move abroad as he can't handle the english media side of things if the guy wasnt such an person in the first place he wouldn't be in that situation, i'd never want him at spurs regardless how good he is.

Agree8 Disagree2

Bale will not be sold, at any price -
Levy has given assurances to both AVB and Paulhino following which both committed themselves to the club.

All this media circus is comical, and the rival fans chipping in their comments is flattering.

Agree6 Disagree6

DR-THFC, Gomez who signed for Fiorentina? Damiao will go to Napoli, Soldado will likely stay at this point in time. Bernard might end up at Porto or Roma.
Bale will likely go to RM with Suarez. Higuain will go to Arsenal.

Agree4 Disagree11

Give me Higuain + £50m all day long. Buy Soldado to play up with him and can't wait for the glory.

Agree3 Disagree11

So does the fact they are making a bid for him allow them to act like they are or is it a case of one rule for us and another for madrid

derbyshire dave {Ed002's Note - Probably not, bit that is the way it is.}

Agree3 Disagree1

Saints fan here. Bale will be at Spurs next season.

Agree8 Disagree6

U won't be saying higuain and 50 mil after bale has gone. He is irreplaceable. exciting and awesome.

Agree6 Disagree4

But madrid just spent anothe £32mil to go with the £23mil, surely they don't have the funds to get ble definatly, maybe suarez at a push, even selling higuan, contrao etc wouldn't be enoughsurely

Agree4 Disagree2

Ed002 in your opinion and obviously would never take anything as gospel, do you think bale will be with us for another season? {Ed002's Note - It would be speculation, but there is every chance this summer would see his peak value as the FFP rules will probably begin to bite next summer. That is the reason this year will see record spending on players. Whilst the kid might want to stay at Spurs another year or two, a significant offer that Real Madrid could fund through the sale of someone else, might see the club look to a sale. It remains very possible that the club could negotiate a player in such a deal. So I can offer little more than "maybe" as an answer.}

Agree3 Disagree1

How can you report a club that we have a good connection with?

If you have noticed, all the hype regarding Gareth Bale to Madrid has died down because Madrid themselves have acknowledged they have put spurs in an uncomfortable position.

I have also noticed our partners 'real Madrid' are trying to get the most money out of arsenal for Higuain. something they didn't do with us.

Ed. we are now hearing Villa want. demand 30 mill for Benteke. no way is he worth that. in my opinion 15 mill is a generous offer.

Believable11 Unbelievable6

Lambert said £25m would get you to the side of the negotiation table, Villa seem more keen on keeping Benteke now & have apparently increased the amount required to £30m indeed. If you pay £30m - I really think he'll flop, Andy Johnson scored 23 goals in his first EPL season with Palace - look where he is now!

Agree9 Disagree1

One Season Wonder Benteke.

Having watched him ALOT. he is no one season wonder. He is the real deal. Finishing skills, composure and most impressively he is a magnet. He can win the ball in the air (or the ground) and make it stick to him, he is a real danger all over and contributes hugely to a team. Samba of QPR had a very good game man marking him but most defences have been battered by him. £25m will seem a snip in a couple of seasons, he may follow Bale to Madrid next season.

Agree5 Disagree7

Exactly, samba man marked him. that takes his worth right down

His worth is his worth.

Benteke is worth at least 25m to Villa as we have seen his talent, believe in it and feel any less would not come close to replacing it.

Spuds should understand this. Bale will leave Spuds. Spuds rate him at 70m or so. However if he wants out (no matter what happens this season he will, now or then, and credit to him for discreetly doing so) He will be gone. If Madrid come with a 25m offer next season you would laugh>?!

But with that Madrid would say well he wants out no - one is worth silly money until they prove themselves on an international and CL level for more than one season so take the 25m for Bale or shove him in the reserves and wait for the value to rot.

What would/will you do next season (0r next month)?

Agree1 Disagree8

Thats all well and good but Bale has never kicked up a fuss and is very happy at Spurs at the moment so we will keep his value at £85m thank you very much.

Agree8 Disagree2

If cavani is 63 easily and bale is in a better league with higher values on a team that doesn't need to sell and he wins games by himself consistently. Bale not only is a great sprinter, but he runs all game long with one of the highest distance covered stats on team and can outsprint any defender in the 90th minute to snatch that late winner.

agreed clankers bale is at least 85m especially in todays market

Agree3 Disagree2

All these jealous fans, oh dear. Just because we have the one and only player in the premier league that is worth over £50 mill, they have nothing better to do than jump on our site to show their envy.

Agree5 Disagree4

Aguero? He's worth £50m easily!

Evening Ed.

I wondered what Luke Shaw's situation was. Would love him playing down the left behind Bale. I read that he has turned down United and Chelsea in order to stay at Southampton, is that true?

Jimbo {Ed002's Note - He will sign a new deal today - expect a real push from Chelsea to buy him next summer.}

Believable5 Unbelievable1

Thanks ed, seen that they have confirmed the new deal. Real shame he could have been brilliant for us. Would he need a big fee? I thought Chelsea were covered with Ryan Bertrand at LB?

Jimbo {Ed002's Note - I never saw Spurs in the equation. I could do you a deal for Ryan Bertrand.}

Agree1 Disagree1

Ed I'll help broker this deal. Bertrand and £2 million for Vertonghen?

Agree0 Disagree2

Nothing against Bertrand seems a good young player but him and 2mill for Vert, funniest thing I've heard all transfer window and that includes Villa fans believing they will get 40mill for Bentekkers.

Agree0 Disagree1

We have been linked with every Tom, Dick and harry but still no striker, so come on ed who coming in, and when is ade off? my guess no one will be coming in and we will be stuck with ade {Ed002's Note - I still think an offer will be made fro Soldado.}

Believable4 Unbelievable3

Ha ha 30 mill for Benteke jog on he's not worth 20 let alone anything more than that, 1 good season in the prem and he's value has almost tripled.

Agree8 Disagree4

Ed, any idea what's going on with Nacer Chadli? Lots of papers reporting we are interested, some saying a deal is close, his agent has come out and said that they welcome the interest from spurs, but no bid? Cheers
d00gie {Ed002's Note - One time looking to a move to Fulham, Chadli is now attracting offers from Swansea, Shaktar and Locomotive Moscow. Spurs, Liverpool, Juventus and Dortmund are also considered potential suitors. He will move this summer - but perhaps one to drag out.}

Believable1 Unbelievable1

There's an interview on talksport with a belguim reporter saying Chadli has turned down Shaktar & other european clubs & only has eyes on the premiership.
