Would be a good move for him, he looks a good player, but having Him, Cazorla and walcott in the same team, would be terrible defence wise.

like alot of Brazilians he has a 3rd party owner (BMG Bank) who also sponsor/finance Porto so if he goes there they can retain their 20% or what ever it is so Porto only pay 80% of his value and BMG can still make some money on him later on.

It would take a big offer to buy out BMGs share so if Goons or Spurs want him, we basically pay an extra 20%.

We're still talking to him but not sure if he wouldn't get the shit beat out of him in the PL, although he is the same size as Aaron Lennon at 5'5". All our other players are over 6 foot. He was good in the Confed cup though and I think that's what they are valuing him on.

That the reason i will reserve my judgement on him, same with Paulinho, Great at home and in the Con fed cup but untested outside of it.

Tottenham has hesitated and Liverpool are eager to replace Suarez. Tottenham will miss out and need to look at a plan B.

In his unveiling, Martino said under no circumstances will Cesc be sold. They will automatically reject a 3rd offer from manure.

Good graces, Marca and the clueless English press strike again. An FYI to anyone that reads the supposed quote from Bale, Marca used the exact same - I am not joking - quote in a similar Modric story from last year. Real Madrid trying to tap Bale up is f!?king disgraceful. I'll laugh so hard when he doesn't leave.

Look Bale has not uttered a single word about his future or where he wants to go. If he thinks or at least wanted to stay at Tottenham then he would have least said it pubicly at least once. All i can say is actions speak louder than words. AVB is desperate to keep Bale but Bale wants to play in the Champion League. He wants to play for Real Madrid. Marca can make as many false quotes as they like but they have been right in the past about reporting Modric to Madrid and also about Kaka leaving A.C Milan for Madrid.

The reason he hasn't publicly said anything is because of articles like this - and mind you, this article is a reprint of one that popped up all over the British press. Even if he says the most basic "I am staying", the press will be all over it and twist his words to add in a "for now". It's been reported by trusted people at the club that Spurs have told him to keep his mouth shut. He has told the club that he doesn't want to leave - something your precious journalists haven't reported - and if you actually, you know, use logic you would come to this conclusion by your lonesome. Why? He is loyal to the club, he is already on a good wage, and he has just started up a family with his newborn child, and doesn't want to move them away from where they are have been established.

Yep, actions do speak louder than words. That is why, this pre-season alone, he has already signed a contract upgrade, and is about to sign a contract extension. :lol: Good one. That's before you consider that he has told everyone that matters - i.e. not the media - that he doesn't want to leave because of a wide range of reasons, but no, don't let facts get in the way of your friends at Marca's bullsh*t.

Yeah, and Bale wants to stay around for at least another year to see if he can play in the UCL with Spurs. We've already signed Paulinho, Chadli and upgraded the contracts of quite a few players, including Sandro. We've signed LLoris and Vertonghen and a number of other quality players over the past year or two, and with the probable arrival of Soldado, we will have one of the strongest rosters in the league - which is incredible given we don't have the spending power of other clubs.

Marca are just generating views and trying - and failing horribly - to tap him up. It won't work. By the way, you've obviously never dealt with Daniel Levy before....when both he and AVB say "Bale isn't leaving", even if he did want to go - which he doesn't - it won't happen anyway unless Madrid offer the largest bid ever recorded for any player.

Keep dreaming buddy. It won't happen.

Once would probably be useful...

He's already told the club he doesn't want to leave, and that is all that matters.

Where's you source for Bale telling the club that he doesn't want to leave? Tottenham signing all these players doesn't mean that Bale won't want to leave...

I wouldn't call Marca "bullsh*t" especially when they reported about Madrid's signings of Modric and Kaka long before any other news outlet did. This is the same pattern that is following for Bale.

He has been told to keep his mouth shut? What for? Why would a club that is so confident of keeping Bale ask Bale to shut his mouth? If he wants to stay and says it pubicly how can journalists twist his words? Make no sense what you are trying to say mate.

Bale's management said they will look at all offers. So why are you saying...

He is loyal to the club, he is already on a good wage, and he has just started up a family with his newborn child, and doesn't want to move them away from where they are have been established.

If he is already happy and doesn't want to move then what is the point for him and his management to look at other offers from other clubs? Why? I'll tell you why, At RM he will get paid much more and he will have the honour of playing in the Champions League. The offer from Madrid is much more attractive and is definitely appealing to Bale. That is why he has been told to keep his mouth shut.

Bale is definitely interested in RM and AVB is fearing the worst.

I ain't dreaming buddy. I'm being realistic.

Google is your friend. There are plenty of quotes from Bale and also some from his agent.

There have been numerous reports of Bale saying he will stay and many more saying Madrid will still make an offer.

Believe what you like, doesn't bother me in the slightest.
