Levy is making himself look a right dick, what happens if bale has an awful season, his value will absolutely tumble, if their was an offer of 60m, + coentrao and di maria he should snap madrids hands off.

I had this with a Spuds fan yesterday, I told him Bale was good, but not £80m good!dctid said:I just dont get why any one would pay such a transfer fee for Gareth Bale.
Without doubt a top top quality pro but he will never ever score the quantity of goals or deliver consistantly like Ronaldo or Messi
Dont matter how much they get for him Spuds wont be able to replace Bale as there are no equivalent players out there.
Personally i hope Bale stays for one more season so we can see if he can replicate his 2012 performances - personally i dont think he will.
He had a good season last time around, but against us, he never stood out as anything overly special. A good player yes, but to me, he's more of a typical British speed merchant with a loaded left foot.
To say he's on the level of both Ronaldo's, Ronaldinho, Messi, Zidane is stretching Bale's abilities a tad too far IMHO. Before last season, I reckon he was worth £25m tops, after last season possibly £30m-£35m but no more than that. If I was Levy, I'd rip Reals arm out of its socket & Bale the fuck out with the dough & build a team capable of challenging for the title consistently.

No pun intended ha ha. But yeah I agree with you there.

This is going to end up a repeat of Modric - RM will back off - Bale will stay but get pissed off and ultimately force a move.
Because of Bales nationality World Cup tournaments are unlikely leaving only CL - so he will want to play for a team that at least qualifies constantly and ideally has a decent chance of winning it - Spuds aint that team
Maybe the key to the fee is how much you'd have to pay next season for him. Lets say he is worth 60m I'd Real waited a year and if Spurs make 4th they might continue to latch on. But let's say its 60m for Real Madrid to get him next year (and try must get an emerging star as Ronaldo begins to age) then would it not be worth it to secure him now for an additional 30m. So to Real Madrid it's worth going to 90m for Bale this summer.
This is only because there aren't many ready made young stars out there. But is that true? Maybe the up and coming kids like Draxler or Isco arent yet there in terms of being their figure head. Maybe we are lucky that Aguero didn't have his best season last year. :-) unless that is that w wanted 60m for him.

I just dont understand what makes bale worth 80m or more, 23 goals and 11 assists last season was it, that is very good statistics but not ronaldo or messi or even ibrahimovich class, he didnt push his team towards a title or even drag them over the line to a fourth place finish, no cups won and to make it worth it in prize money alone real madrid would probably have to take home la liga and the CL next year.
At no point am i saying bale is not a good player, he quite clearly is but for a player who has achieved nothing in his career as of yet apart from alot of hype that kind of money is ludicrous and id like to know from anyone who thinks he is worth that kind of money, what makes him worth that kind of money.

Ronaldo is 28 so the are looking for someone from 18-24 who is going to be a worthy figure head for Real Madrid. Someone very good, scores goals, etc but looks good on posters. I'm not sure who are the other candidates now that Neymar went to Barcalona.mancboy said:I just dont understand what makes bale worth 80m or more, 23 goals and 11 assists last season was it, that is very good statistics but not ronaldo or messi or even ibrahimovich class, he didnt push his team towards a title or even drag them over the line to a fourth place finish, no cups won and to make it worth it in prize money alone real madrid would probably have to take home la liga and the CL next year.

I've always said Levy would want around £100 million for him, just makes sense that if someone wants your star player you squeeze what you can out of it.

He's not worth the money being quoted.

IMO Spurs are best keeping hold of him and investing in their squad ie Paulinho, Soldado (maybe one or two others).
Even if RM only offer £60M next summer, but Spurs get in the CL then Spurs will have basically paid £20M to have Bale for one season but in that season he will have got them in the CL which means more money for Spurs and better chance of attracting players.
The fact is they have a great player (not quite world class) and they are hard to come about so they would be silly to sell him without guaranteeing themselves CL football first.

Bale doesnt guarantee champions league football though. What if he loses motivation/form, or gets injured? He's one year closer to the end of his contract and a free transfer. He's twice as desperate to get out and Spurs have just cost themselves a fortune.

He' not worth the money; one good season; will end up like Modric; once he loses his pace; what if he gets injured? etc etc etc..............
Pinhead thinking or just jealousy? Love to see us offer 90m just to make life interesting for Madrid.
This lad has it all - that's why the market is setting the price where it is.

For sure no one football player in the world is worth that amount of money, but Spurs are so crazy to reject such a high offer.GaudinoMotors said:He' not worth the money; one good season; will end up like Modric; once he loses his pace; what if he gets injured? etc etc etc..............

They have a better chance with him in the team than without. Like I said there aren't many players about like him and if they add 1 or 2 others on top of Paulinho and Soldado then I'm pretty confident they would finish 4th at least

If I was them I'd sell. That way they could use the money to properly improve their team in a few areas. As it is they will always be one injury away from being a very ordinary team.

Yup, they are massively bereft of creative players. Bale being pretty much the only one. They could buy 2 or 3 creative players with the Bale cash which could see them as a little bit more of just a challenger for the top 4.
Sorry if already posted
Daniel Levy is angry and does not want to sell Gareth Bale to Real Madrid. The Tottenham chairman considers it humiliating that 'los Blancos' are making a move for Bale just a year after they signed Modric. He has told Madrid’s board members that his club is not Real’s youth academy and that they will have to pay €145m (£125m) if they want to sign Bale.
It is more than just a question of money. What the Tottenham chairman wants is to make a point. He wants to take his anger out on Real Madrid by demanding a transfer fee which 'los Blancos' see as unaffordable.
The first ever three-figure transfer fee: that is what Levy wants. Neither Bale’s pleas nor Madrid’s big-money offers can make him play ball. He is angry and will not listen to reason.
So Madrid and Tottenham are left trying to agree a fee which satisfies the demands of the Spurs chairman, without it going beyond what Real Madrid considers affordable. Meanwhile, an unhappy Bale does not want to have to pull on a Tottenham shirt again.
Bale landed in London on Monday, but he does not want to spend even one more day training or playing with Villas-Boas’ team. The Spurs squad returns to training tomorrow and there it will be seen if Bale will back down or not.
Ridiculous if true.
