Transfer Rumour Mill

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Bale transfer to be unveiled tonight according to Spanish press.

How much?

I guess this opens up Di Maria to PSG that was talked about during the week.

Welcoming the traitor back with open arms, sure sign of desperation

Even more desperate is RUSHING his signing because they NEED him lmao

Telegraph: Arsenal to sign 5 players before the deadline; Benzema, di María, Cabaye, Flamini & Guaita most likely. http://bit.ly/1f5CaYt

How much?

?99m.

Spurs have agreed apparently but Madrid didn't announce it last night because of Raul's testimonial. Should be today or Saturday.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Spurs hit the lottery. That's over €70m than he's really worth.

I don't really understand why they're so desperate to get him (besides Neymar) because he's not as good as Ronaldo (or Di Maria) and nowhere near as marketable as a true galactico signing.

He'll end up at Man U in 2-3 seasons.

 

[Big Sam]

As you say Neymar has a lot to do with it. Once he was signed Madrid had to get Bale to show they were still the biggest club in Spain.

I can here the howls of laughter from Catalonia already that Madrid think Bale is twice the player Neymar is.

Spurs might as well be sponsored by Real Madrid £33 mil for modric now a world record fee for Bale

 

[Big Sam]

You know what would be the funniest thing of the transfer season?

If Spurs could get Madrid to throw Benzema or Di Maria in the deal just so the Goners don't get him :lol:

 

[Haffa]

That'd be up there with Willian turning down Liverpool for apparent "non-football reasons" :lol:

They should at the very least take Di Maria.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Wow 99 mil for Bale, you can't be serious.

 

[Twizzle]

Its not serious, nothing has been offered apart from a verbal about a month ago, still no offer in writing and as of last night they are refusing to budge from their initial verbal offer of €85 million which has been rejected.

Media speculation.

And just on Flamini, he has been very good for Milan and they will miss him however he is past his best and they seem to be cashing in on him while he still has some sort of value. On current form I would not expect him to be first choice DM at the Goons.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Um dude, Flamini is on a free, don't give us credit for spending money.

When Cristiano Ronaldo transferred to Real Madrid for £80m

-He was 24
-He won 3 EPL titles
-He won 2 League Cups
-He won 1 FA Cup
-He won 1 Champions League
-He won 1 club World Cup
-Semi final of a World Cup
-Euro 2004 runner up

Gareth Bale is 24

:lol:

 

[AusKnightRKO]

How bale got this over hyped is stupid.

 

[Jimbo]

Even €85m is highway robbery

Spurs are dead-set cleaning up

 

[aqua_duck]

Spurs are very shrewd on the transfer market, they get players for a decent price and sell for highly inflated sums

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

They need more Ligue 2 signings tbh

 

[AusKnightRKO]

Sure they dont need more dortmund players?

 

[Tommy Smith]

The worry for Real, and a BIG worry at that, is that Bale is very much a confidence player. The spotlight and pressure that goes with playing for Real for that sort of fee could crush him.

But make no mistake about it. He is a sensational player. Anyone who thinks Di Maria is better must have mental issues.

And I suspect Neymar is better, but he has to prove it first in Europe (which I'm sure he will).

Having said all that, anything close to 100 million is an obscene amount of money. No way is he worth that much ... only Messi is atm when factoring in both age and quality.

In the current climate I'd pay 50 million Euros for Bale and nothing more. Lamela is top quality and could be just as good in 3 years when he's 24. And it'll cost 35 million! Crazy.

Lol at Madrid. Another reminder why I hate them so much.

 

[Haffa]

Yep. Who'd be stupid enough to pay 69 million plus for a player and give up another player who is just as good at the same time.

I expect he'll be sold to Milan at a 45 million dollar loss next season.....oh wait.
