Gareth Bale

[NipHolmes]

just depends where he see's his future.

I agree, that will have a bearing on which club he wants to join.

I know its an obvious thing to say but we need to have in mind his idol as a kid wad Giggs. That's what worries me if he sees himself as successor. We are the better outfit now and can pay more wages but is he a fan of rotation? Hopefully there's 'no value' with Levy beingpissed with United for the Berbatov deal and holds em to ransom.<br /><br />-- Fri Jun 22, 2012 11:32 am --<br /><br />

No just what Tolmie said on the quite thread he listed about 5 players to forget about signing

As said above, Bale was not in the list.

As it stands means he's a target that's not seen as a priority yet. Bale will be a saga transfer mark my words.

I personally think he will leave for us if we go for him. Either us or the rags, we will outbid them though, just depends where he see's his future.

Errr he was on the list

As it stands and not forget. As it stands does not rule him out, forget does.

Ok fair play. That's some good points you make there.

Bale wont be coming. Modric will leave spuds, and theres no way levy will allow bale to go too, it would have to be a mind blowing offer for him to sell and he's renowned as being one of the toughest chairmen to deal with. We can not and will not offer a mind blowing sum.

Its taken modric 12 months to get his move (if he goes) and I suspect it will be the same with Bale even if he expresses a desire to go.

Personally if Bale does want out I think Levy should cash in now as hes currently worth top dollar and theres only so many trees he can pull up playing in the europa league/fa/wank cup etc. His worth might not be the same this time next year...

I disagree. They have Ekotto as LB and could use Pienaar on left wing. Modric and Bale add 65million or thereabouts for new manager to spend. Just my opinion.

In an ideal Everton world but Spurs are a step up. New manager could mean he is part of plans. Especially if Bale is sold. Everton can whistle if they think they'll get a cut price deal from Spurs imo.

Levy is maybe waiting to bank all seasonticket money before he announces their 2 best players are fooking off!!

Exactly. They are linked with Remy, Llorente etc. Let's see how many of those actually come in.

Links with players excites fans who will then buy season tickets, players are bought and season starts. Levy wins.

Same thing at Arsenal except Wenger says he will keep players. "Nasri will definitely not be sold" and as soon as tickets are sold then Nasri is sold. Same will happen with RVP imo.

there is a huge thread on it in the main forum mate

zaBALEtta..

That's not even how you spell the lads name.

Spelling police alert......so sue me.

It will depend on a) who is in for Bale & b) how keen Bale is to leave.

If Bale is only tempted to leave, they don't have a problem & can keep him for another season. If however he is desperate to leave, they are much better off getting him out & giving the new manager money to spend.

One consideration is the old skinflint/conman chairman's trick though & this shouldn't be discounted because Levy has already done it with Berbatov. That is to absolutely swear a player isn't leaving, then suddenly sell him at the absolute last second, thus leaving no time to spend the money before the window shuts.

Player gets all the blame, chairman gets to put the money through the books.

 

[DaveTheYid]

Bale will not be leaving.

 

[Bluemanc100]

Bale will not be leaving.

[samharris]

Bale will not be leaving.

Maybe he doesnt want CL football after all then.

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

Bale will not be leaving.

We'd kinda worked out he wasn't coming to us, but thought he might go somewhere else. Why so certain Dave?

I won't Bale out: Spurs relief as star pledges another year

Despite Tottenham missing out on the Champions League and sacking Harry ­Redknapp, Gareth Bale is not looking to follow Luka Modric out of the door

Gareth Bale has handed Tottenham a massive boost by deciding to stay at White Hart Lane for at least one more year.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is already set to lose £30million-rated Luka Modric to Real Madrid, but Bale has told friends he is happy at the club.

Bale’s Spurs contract expires in 2015 and the club will offer him a pay rise to extend that deal.

Despite Tottenham missing out on the Champions League and sacking Harry ­Redknapp, Bale is not looking to follow ­Modric out of the door.

It is understood Bale does not see his own situation linked to that of Redknapp or ­Modric, and wants to try to help Spurs back into ­Europe’s elite competition.

His future may become an issue if Spurs once again miss out on Champions League football and fall further behind the Manchester clubs, Arsenal and Chelsea next season.

Barcelona watched 22-year-old Bale on several occasions last season and will ­continue to monitor his situation, while City have also expressed an interest.

With Tottenham demanding over £40m for Bale, however, both Barca and City would rely on him trying to force a move out of White Hart Lane and that will not happen this summer.

A source close to Bale said: “Gareth believes Tottenham were unlucky not to get into the Champions League after finishing fourth and is happy to stay at the club for now.

“The chairman obviously has plans that did not involve Harry Redknapp and Gareth wants to find out what those are.”

Bale dropped a heavy hint he will stay by talking about Tottenham’s tough Premier League opener at Newcastle, saying: “It’s­ important to get off to a good start.

“It will be difficult, especially away from home, but it’s a good early test for us.”

"A source close to Bale" and no quotes from the guy himself. Yeah seems legit....
