Bale has gone boys. Already done a deal! 90 mill plus add ons. Tottenham could not refuse it. Bale to be on nearly 200 grand a week. Going to Real.
The only way Bale is going to Madrid this summer is if
A) Madrid sell Ronaldo,
or
B) If AVB leaves For either PSG or Madrid.
Bale has already said he loves playing under AVB and loves it at Spurs. DL will NOT sell for anything less then £90m and Madrid have said that they will wait until a new manager is appointed before they start reshaping the team.
I think maybe a troll!
This story comes from a 'FIFA Agent' who works for FIFA.
FIFA have not employed any agents since 2001.
It is a troll who 'leaks' stories that always are made up.
If RM where going to offer big money for bale, they would have done already.
Perez has said that they are waiting on a new manager, now, tell me one manager who has ever bought a player a Madrid?
Perez signs his 'galacticos' not his manager.
He ain't worth 90mil, but if they offer it Levy should SNAP their hands off!

I agree I love bake he's a huge tallent but with over £100m to spend, you could strengthen the team as a whole but as long as the right players come in!

RM made the offer last Monday 3rd June. It was an offer of 100 million euros. THFC & Bale will commence talks when Bale returns from holiday in the States and the new Director of Football is in post.
I know its another Oracle up there posting, but obviously Levy would snap there hands off for 80M+ and we can all see why, but the likelihood of that all getting reinvested? No Chance.
We really need to keep Bale and add a very good striker. The scary part for me is if Bale goes it will be towards the end of the window, with a Fraser Campbell esque talent in return, without time to upgrade the team accordingly.

Bale isn't going anywhere, neither will avb! the premier league is the best league in the world! All top players who leave will always come back/ want to come back and play here! Avb and levy will bring in the talent to build a title winning team around the likes of bale! no faith some fans, seriously sort your priorities! Yid
Look, if we want to finish in the top three then we shouldn't even be thinking of selling Bale! Top teams don't sell their best players unless their replacement is settled in the squad or is nearly as good! If we had another player who could be as good in say 18 months, then think about letting him go, if not, he stays!
You have more faith in Levy than most of the fans! Would like you to be right but I doubt it!
Anyone who thinks that Bale will not leave spurs as he " loves playing under AVB" is demented

Right now Bale is worth more to Levy at Tottenham, his greatly elevated status in world football will help Levy attract more sponsorship, funding and naming rights as well as other commercial gains
Bale will be going nowhere this summer, his price isn't going to go down and meanwhile his still being at the club is hugely beneficial
His price isn't going to go down?
The options are:
1. We sell to Madrid this summer for 80 - 90 mill.
2. We keep him for another year he has a great season and then sell him for under 90 mill because he is a year older.
3. We keep him he has a dodgy season we then have offers of 40 mill.
4. We keep him, he gets injured and we get nothing.
I want to keep him but you cannot deny that if we are going to sell for the money then this is the year. He is at his peak and touted around the world as a great.
I say keep him and sign a creative midfield player and striker, clear deadwood if poss to create more funds. Speculate to accumulate.

Come on - bale sold for £90 million and is on under £200,000 a week, if bale sold for a world record transfer fee I would imagine his wages would be quite higher than that, half of Citeh squad are on that money

Your suggestion of who to sign is exactly where our problem lies. Right now we need a decent striker and a creative midfielder, both have to be quality to push us on. That's WITH Bale in the team.
Sell Bale for £80m+, invest £40m in the two signings we already need and we're then still a Gareth Bale short so won't progress at all. £40m in the bank though, that'll go towards a stadium that won't translate to success on the pitch for 6-10years, if other examples are anything to go by (we're over 3years at least away from even playing in it let alone paying for it).
That is a highly likely outcome and if it happens we really have to accept that we are going nowhere until the new stadium is built and/or a large amount of it is paid off. There are a lot of assumptions in there to think it will actually mean more success years down the line anyway; high TV income continuing for that long, how financial fair play really looks by then and what other billionaire playboys takeover clubs and find the loop-holes, where we've finished and if we've won anything in that time affecting what the club profile is etc. We could have even further to catch up by then.
The case study from down the road would show that even with some money in hand, it will be considered successful to be competing hard 2-3 places lower in the league for years - that's 7th-8th for us!
Before somebody starts with comments about this being negative and pessimistic, it's not, it's just being realistic.

Simmo,
I don't know if it was the way I wrote the comments or you may have misread it. This is not an argument but what you state is the point I was trying to make. I totally agree that we need to keep bale and add quality. I worry that money will be ploughed into the stadium and not into squad so we will watch mediocre football in a lovely stadium. My other point was just that we will never get offers of 90 mill after this summer for bale as he will older, have less years on his contract and cannot improve on what he has done his year.
I say keep bale and sign soldado and nani (in an ideal world)

Totally agree with you mate (not sure on Nani but def two decent signings needed) Like you I was just pointing out how things will probably end up when we likely have to take the option of top price for Bale.
