Gareth Bale Transfer Saga V.2

Gutted a massive talent like Bale is leaving the PL.

..but excited if Lamela does come

I feel like he has a higher ceiling than Bale

Coentrao couldn't agree a deal? probably got greedy. Wonder who they'll try to bring in then.

GdS? gtfo, only DiGoat updates count

According to Di Marzio, Tottenham technical director Baldini is in Spain to close the transfer.

No Coentrao in the deal.

Apparently Tottenham will get £93m.

Why not? Supposedly the fee was only around 15m, Matri and Quags are leaving, no? You don't have the funds??

108 mil Euros Flo

Need to sell to buy and at this point we still havent concluded any sales apart from a few loan deals.

Asamoah is class but Coentrao would be the real deal on the left.He would improve us so much.

perez has all but cemented his place as worst president in the history of our club if Coentrao doesnt agree wages with Spurs, that's what we will pay

This will be the last time I hear that Florentino Perez is a "businessman" whereas all he really defines himself as, is a MBA graduate using arbitrary principles like a kid in a toy store.

Joke of a president.

Spurs' Baldini (GM) is in Madrid to finalise Bale's signing with Real Madrid. Fee £93M without Coentrao, in this moment [dimarzio]

Di Marzio, reported it was done yesterday with Coentrao included

I expect this deal to not happen because Di Marzio is a fraud

Di Marzio, reported it was done yesterday with Coentrao included

He said it 'could' happen not that it will happen..Take that hater glasses off and learn to read.

Dont try to embarrass yourself more..Rebano stopped..But you're trying to cross the limit it seems

another example of reading without understanding.

he reported yesterday a deal agreed in terms of value between clubs. about 109 mil for bale and 18 for coentrao.

today the problem is coentrao not agreeing with Spurs, so if things proceed as is, the deal will go on without him, and the value of bale would be 109 mil.

This can't be happening. Nah man, Perez and Real Madrid really not serious about life and football.

Perez: 100ME too much for Bale

proceeds to pay 103 ME. only at Real Madrid

Don't worry Spurs are bringing two more massive talents in.... one with arguably a higher ceiling than Bale

interestingly Lamela was about to sigj for Barca as a kid but was adviced not to because he would be more at peace elswhere

Messi: Lamela has barca dna

Perez on Bale earlier in the summer:

‘Regarding the figures spoken about Bale, players are neither cheap nor expensive – but an investment’

‘Most expensive players are those that can be classified as an investment because, if they are very good, they produce a return

All business no football he doesn't care how badly it will affect our squad. All he cares about is making money which he is entitled to but within reasonable boundries ffs

The investment bit could apply to any player, doesn't mean he spends 100m on every player who has good potential.

what saddens me is that Perez is probably one of the most hardcore madridistas you will find around. you cant doubt his passion or love for the club, but his vision to achieve success on and off the pitch is wrong.

It's not just the money MT... it's the psychological impact on the team, the football world and society in general.  This isn't investment banking.  It's footy and it is a socially impactful entity.

There are a lot of players on Madrid that are better than Bale.  How are they going to feel when he makes 2-3x more money than they are and cost so much?  Spain is in a terrible recession... what kind of message does it send to overspend so dramatically on a player?  A lot of kids idolize Madrid...  what kind of example does irresponsible spending make?

And let's even look at it from a business standpoint... we just set another stupid overspending precedent with Flo.  Every time we're going to look to buy a player, the selling club is going to ask for unreasonable prices because we have a history of not caring.  This one is going to come back and bite us in the arse over and over again unless we actively look to break the trend.

It's not that Bale is a bad player.  He's a good player.  

But Flo is just acting irresponsibly here.
