His involvement with Kia was enough to put me off the idea, and Lamela was my preferred option, hopefully we'll see that one come through.

Re: Gareth Bale I don't think he needs to apologise for things "inside sources" have claimed he has said. It's not like the Suarez situation at all in my opinion, if Bale comes out all guns blazing to any journalist within earshot saying he's desperate to leave then it would be but people seem...

I have watched Caulker extensively during his career and I disagree with your opinion. I think we'll regret it. Kaboul's fitness is something that we can't be sure of, he's had a lot of time out and was prone to injury before that. We're unsure of whether Vertonghen will be fit for the start...

You and me both. Hopefully we'll be able to reinvest wisely in a way that benefits the squad but it just seems crazy to let someone who has worked their way up through the clubs system to go for a fairly modest amount of money.

Depends which Madrid players, Ozil and Ronaldo and I'd consider it :) I don't really see a swap deal happening, they rarely do, too many agents involved. The two seem to be touted are Coentrao and Di Maria, the former I rate highly but the latter is not someone I'd want playing for Spurs...

Contract negotiations can take various amounts of time for varying reasons that I most definitely do not understand, it's not massively valid to try and use the lack of a new contract in an argument on either side of the fence. Nobody apart from those closely linked to Bale, Levy and Perez...

David Pleat who is employed by us said on Talksport that he doesn't believe an official bid has been made. Bale has only spoken of his focus in getting us in to the champions league. AVB also said we're currently negotiating a new contract. Swings and roundabouts, we don't really know whats...

Common sense would be recognizing that he has previously said the idea of playing for Real Madrid at some point in his career, but that wasn't what I was asking for evidence of. If he'd have done a Modric by now it'd be fairly obvious but he has not so it's confusing, do people actually take...

What evidence have you seen to suggest this? (apart from quotes in Marca that were actually from Modric the year before)

The thing is, when it happens to a club, rival clubs often see it as a source of humour. Then when it happens to the rival club in a different situation, the original victim club will see it as karma and also find it amusing. If everyone was in the same boat on this it would be easier to know...

Ahh man was just about to leave and you tempted me back in haha. Last post for the day... Arsenal and Spurs aren't able to spend vast amounts of money on transfers with little regard to whether they will recuperate it, it has a significant impact on future transfer activity if we balls it up...

20 quid that when Bale leaves it'll be 65m or less? Certainly sir! I'm only half an hour from Manchester as well so sounds like a plan. I'll get back to you properly in this post and your other one but at present I've spent way too much staring at a computer screen for how nice a day it is, I...

I think we've come to conclusion that the Nasri Dzeko for Bale deal isn't really going to go ahead as planned! So many factors against it. I wouldn't want Suarez anywhere near Spurs and also think we'd be able to invest more wisely than 50m and 150K a week for 5 years, no way he's worth that to us.

Madrid are still spending big, Isco and Illarramendi. With various sales I think there'll be a large bid coming our way next year if Bale maintains his form this season. I don't see Levy skimming over the newspaper seeing Perez claim Bale was "born to play for Madrid" and deciding oh well in...
