Bale

[christened at st marks]

But now he is ­resigned to losing the Croatia star – a decision that will almost certainly result in the double-whammy Spurs fans fear, Bale waving farewell too.

The Wales ace has told pals the sale of Modric will signal the end of Tottenham’s Champions League prospects and he will have to leave north London to avoid his career stalling.

A source close to the PFA Player Of The Year, who recently signed a contract extension keeping him at the club until 2015, said last night: “Gareth is just being realistic. He’s worried that injuries or a slump in form would leave Spurs falling further back from the top four and end any realistic chances of him moving to a bigger club.

“He’s loyal to Spurs and wants to become a legend at the club but only if they’re able to provide the right platform for him to do so. City have the finances and the squad to give Gareth what he is looking for.”

If we get Nasri and Cerci I don't see him fitting in the squad. Anyway I feel Modric will still be with Spurs next season.

They're too busy right now insisting that Jermaine Jenas is a much, much better quality of player than Yaya Toure.

Or Dawson better than Kompany or Sandro better than DeJong or Modric better than Silva.... Completely deluded Spurs fans.

Decent player but the wonga spuds would want / demand would price him out - he heas had one decent season - in fact some fantastic games in the CL but for the best part of the Prem last year he was just good

That sounds like the kind of agenda ridden article that journos usually make up about us. " a source close to " etc. Probably the work of a Chelsea or Arsenal fan trying to undermine Spurs.
