‘If he has expressed a desire to join Madrid then Tottenham should give him permission to speak with us. The chance to play for Real Madrid might only come around once in a player’s lifetime – and it is understandable that Gareth doesn’t want to miss out on it.’

'Last season Gareth was on the same level as [Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Lionel] Messi,’ he added. half that sentence is correct

‘The best players can have not so great games – but change a game with a moment of brilliance. Those are the sort of players that win you Champions League’s and League titles

‘He is already one of the finest players in Europe and he has everything needed to become the best player in the world. It is a bit of a cliche – but it is true you become a better player playing with better players.’

This isn't looking good at all

Shame really. For the first time in a long time, it looked like Spurs had built a solid squad with all there summer signings only to lose Bale now

Btw, if Bale goes for almost as much as Ronaldo did lol

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy values Real Madrid target Gareth Bale, 24, at a "staggering" £125m.

Levy = :bow:

There's no players involved in the transfer. Bale knows about the offer and he's becoming frustrated with the situation.

Spurs want to keep Bale.

What's with trying to make him the biggest transfer of all time? Why not offer 60 or 70 and see what happens?

Yohan Modric wrote:Yeh, not sure why the opening bid is 85m. Should try 50-60 and see what Spurs say.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

This isn't FM guys. It's pretty obvious that the two parties have discussed valuation "unofficially" speaking so Madrid already have a clear idea what Spurs want.

You can't take the galactico out of Flo Perez... it's an uncurable disease. We're buying a guy who doesn't fit anywhere, so we're going to have to push several players out of position or play him out of position.

To boot, we're breaking that transfer record on Bale. Think of that for a second Laughing

We deserve every bit of trolling that comes our way on this. It's absolutely ridiculous.

I'm disappointed in Levy, every time he shows a little bit of backbone and integrity he starts licking boots.

by Lex Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:07

If the market was tarnished before, this is going to absolutely liquidate it

"But Bale went for £100 million, so player X should go for £200 million!"

:facepalm:

goodnight sweet prince

by guest7 Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:07

We're making Bale the most overrated player in history, seriously

"Same level as CR and Messi" - Zidane :facepalm:

He isn't even better than Neymar....

licking boots = extorting people?

World record transfer fee for a guy who wont even be in the Top 10 of the Ballon D'or shortlist Proud

Makes Cavani's PSG transfer look like a bargain. Laughing

I can see it broken soon though with these amazing French teams with enormous 'prestige' breaking the record for Cristiano.

by Zealous Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:12

Damn I'm actually starting to wonder how many of you actually watched Bale week in week out last season lol

(Hint: less than 5 I bet)

How is he extorting people? Do you even know what that word means?

I did and, based on performance, I'd say he's worth £25-£30 million (and I'm being generous) £100 million? You could buy your own jumbo jet with that dough rofl

Bale is amazing.(I'm a Bale fan).But if you're seriously going to defend that (reported) price then you should stop this discussion altogether.

by Valkyrja Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:16

many people here seem to know football better than guys like Mourinho, Figo or Zidane...

by Lex Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:19

And guess what the common denominator between those three individuals is Laughing

You can buy 5 Ibra's for 100m Laughing

And 1 Ibra is enough to improve your team drastically Laughing

by Cassius Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:20

This isnt really happening right? Has got the be a joke.

Like Surag im a bale fan but any offer over 40mil is an absolute joke, and 40 is pushing it tbh.

Madrid

by sportsczy Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:26

I watched a lot of Bale because i was curious about Lloris. He's worth probably 40-50 mil just because of his age and you need to add in hype. Very good at the things he does. But is he worth more than Falcao, Cavani, Neymar, etc.? Laughing

It's insane.

Absolutely ludicrous what Flo is going to pay for him. Bale was a difference maker for a team who finished 5th in the EPL... did he set any record? No. Did he blow people's socks off? No. Ballon d'or podium guaranteed? No. Top 10 player in the world? No.

I mean ffs. Get a grip Flo!

This has flop written all over it regardless of price from a footy standpoint as well. He shoots as much as CR7 and needs the ball as much as him too... and he won't get that at Madrid. Not even close.

by The_Badger Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:30

I think Perez believes a transfer like this will re-establish Madrid at the top of the table. It won't. He's an absolute dunderhead.

I wonder what Ancelotti thinks of this.

by Zealous Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:30

Well I guess we'll have to play the waiting game then. We'll see what happens.

by Onyx Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:35

Ancelotti most likely doesn't want Bale.

by Le Samourai Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:42

*bleep* it.

I don't care what happens to us, we'll sort it out, make money and what not. Just come and get Benzema Wenger Sad

I guess he hasn't a choice and can't complain about it. He knew the situation at RM before he agreed to go there.

by S Wed 31 Jul 2013 - 14:55

Actually Ancelotti has been a puppet at all clubs he's managed.Its nothing new.
Although ,i remember reading that at PSG he wanted more power in regards to the transfer market but he dint get that apparently.
If Carlo had the power ,he would do his entire shopping in Serie A Laughing

but i guess at Madrid you have to earn it unless you're Mourinho. Laughing
