Let's see, people who have actually been confirmed to either work for the club or know people who do work for the club, anyone with common sense, or anyone with half a brain, as well as the man himself. He has repeatedly told the club, his family and even publicly said (in articles buried by the media, of course) he wants to stay on another year at the very least. He does not want to leave, not with his newborn child, settling his family and club loyalty. If he wanted to leave, as you imply, why in heck did he sign a contract upgrade and is about to sign a contract extension, per AVB's own words - you can find that article pretty easily yourself, after all, the media seems to be all you believe in.
I would. Why? They regurgitated the same article about Modric. What's the difference between Modric and Bale, you might ask? One publicly and privately announced he wanted to leave. One didn't. Three guesses as to who it might be. They are blatantly attempting to tap him up; notice that they do not say in their recent articles that Madrid are about to sign him, as they did in the Modric saga. They are only saying, with falsified quotes, that he wants to leave. Why is that? Because they - and Real Madrid - know their offers are going to be/have been knocked back, and thus they are using the media to sow dissent amongst the Spurs fanbase and amongst the players. Manchester United used the same dirty tricks to get Berbatov off of us, so us Spurs fans are no stranger to these tactics. We know a ploy when we see one, and this is so ridiculously obvious that I don't even know why Marca/Real Madrid bother, save to generate views.
What pattern? There is no pattern to Bale, as he has said he doesn't want to leave. Are you incapable of understanding this? No, of course not, because Marca and the oh-so-reliable English press have said otherwise, when Marca are making sh*t up to stir the pot, and the English press are running with a story they know is fabricated just to generate views. You can believe those morons all you want, but to people who actually know the story - like Twizzle and I - we can just sit back and laugh at the idiots who are mindlessly claiming Bale will leave in the comments sections of those articles.
Did you not read the article I linked in my post? Hugo Lloris was talking about the boost from recent signings and Bale playing well, but said that it is still early in the pre season and there is a long journey ahead. The British press, proving how utterly useless they are, twisted his words and instead put up the head-line 'Lloris concerned over Bale future' or words to that extent. You might not understand the nature of media outlets, but they are moronic scum that will do anything to dredge up their view counts, even making obvious lies just so people will click on their unrelated articles. Marca are doing something very similar, save with actual fabricated quotes, and hell, if Spurs wanted to Spurs could sue Marca for defamation after they implied that Levy isn't fulfilling contractual obligations to Bale - which is completely false. Journalistic integrity has lost all meaning in the modern world, and what Marca are doing exemplifies this.
Journalists will twist everything to suit their agendas. Bale doesn't need the stress from all that crap, so if you, you know, used your brain you might actually realize that the club telling him to keep his mouth shut is actually a smart move. There's nothing to be gained from him saying anything to the press, as it will just lead to another spiral like in that Lloris article, and plus, Marca and their ilk will just publish more bullsh*t about him anyway, regardless of what he says. As Twizzle indicated, Bale publicly announced earlier in the window that he wasn't leaving, and yet articles from sources like Marca, the Daily Mail, the Sun and all those incredibly reputable papers still publish crap like that recent story about him.
Oh, so that's why he signed a contract upgrade and is about to sign a contract extension. That doesn't sound like a player who is looking to move, does it? But Marca said otherwise, so of course I am wrong :roll:
Standard media talk is to say "we are looking at offers" as in the world of football, there are few guarantees. You also have to look at the date of those quotes. Madrid may have come along offering 300K per week wages and a 120 million pound transfer fee. Hence why agents and club executives rarely, if ever, say deals are done, even if it is untrue. Plus, when the agent says "we are looking at offers", you don't think that might have been in regards to the contract upgrade he signed a month ago, or the extension he is about to sign?
Except he doesn't want to leave, as it would seriously unsettle his family, he already earns a sh*t load from his upgraded contract, as well as several major sponsorship deals he has just earned. I don't remember the details, but people who do know the ins and outs explained it very well; the reality is, Madrid can offer him as much as they want, but he is still probably earning more at Spurs than he would in Spain. Why? He's the new face of the Barclays Premier League. Let that sink in for a moment. There are clauses and crap written into his new contract that basically mean he will earn shed loads so long as he stays in the Premier League. Heck, he is playing for a top club in the highest rated/watched league in the world. He's loyal to the club and wants to achieve UCL qualification with them. The reasons for him wanting to stay far outweigh those for wanting to leave, and you have only proven that you don't know jack sh*t by ignoring them.
It doesn't appeal to him obviously, because he is about to sign a contract extension. If Madrid's offer was so appealing, why hasn't he publicly said he is considering it, and has told private sources that he wants to stay? Why did he sign a lucrative contract offer? Bale might be interested in Real Madrid, but he wants to stay here, particularly as he is already satisfied money wise and, as has been repeatedly stated by both himself, the club and people that know either him or directors in the club, he wants to stay in England because of his family. Surprise, no English club wants to buy him because of his insane price tag. He is the new face of the EPL; do you really think he would leave now? No.
:lol: AVB is fearing the worst, when he just publicly came out and told the press he is confident Bale is about to sign a contract extension. You absolute idiot.
You aren't being realistic. You are being a moron. :lol:
By the way, did you ever realize that even if Bale wanted to leave - which again, he doesn't, as you would know if you knew anything about Spurs - Levy won't let him leave this season because AVB doesn't want him gone? Yeah, good luck with that.
Go back to reading your sh*tty papers. Because they, like you, don't know a damned thing about what is really going on either.
Like Twiz, I'm just going to sit this out and laugh at the people who think they know crap just because they read a failure of a paper.
