spurs simply have to sell.
there's enough money there to transform them into regular top 4.

Not sure about the top 4 bit. But they have to sell, that's for sure. Unless Levy is stark raving bonkers.
What would improve a team more?
Negredo &
Navas &
Jovetic &
Fernandino
or
Bale

But they also cost a lot more, so improvement would be expected.

Agreed unless Arsenal sign some decent players can't see them finishing above a Spurs & Bale. Not many decent strikers left for Arsenal to sign and it looks as tho Liverpool won't sell them Suarez.

The foursome came to about £85m in total, isn't that what Madrid are rumoured to have bid?

True but grossly exaggerated, I doubt any of those players on more than £100,000 a week basic pay. Spurs have more or less signed Soldado who is on par with AN, similar with Ferna and Paulinho Lennon is a level below Navas and they don't have anybody like Jovetic. Because spurs don't pay good wages they will never be seen as anything more than a stepping stone, and they will continue to lose their better players.<br /><br />-- Fri Aug 02, 2013 1:30 pm --<br /><br />

Spurs were battered at Arsenal two years in a row, somehow I doubt spurs will breeze past them.

Who mentioned Spurs would breeze past them? And because Spurs were battered by Arsenal at the Emirates twice that means what exactly? Spurs were down to 10 men both games not many teams would beat Arsenal at the Emirates with 10 men.

I feel sorry Bale. Not because he will be playing for RM this season and he'll need to hit the ground running but for £100m the fans will expect him to have an Excocet on each foot and score 50 in his first season.

If we assume Spurs would actually pay what we're paying those 4, which is no means a given, multiply that over 4 years - You're going to be needing a lot more cash than 85m + Bales wages over the same time. Wages really are key, they're a much better indicator of a teams standing than transfer fees.

One poster yesterday asked the question how has Bale gone from a £50M player to an £80M player whilst being on his Summer Holidays.
Did the Forum reach a conclusive answer on this because I would love to know it.

Maybe Levy employed a magician to work on the bid. Perhaps we should use the same man to work on Sinclair, and a few of our others too for that matter.

Supply and demand, same reason Easyjet's prices to quadruple in price if the destination is one where there is a massive surge in demand, like Euro 2012
Madrid want him, Levy is stubborn git = £85M

True but would you rather improve 1 position or 4? Navas and Fernandinho have vastly improved over last season's counterparts. If bale gets hurt then the team takes a real hit. Would rather have 4 really good players than 1 great player at this point in the clubs position. We needed to improve multiple positions(still do). Next year and going forward I think we'd be in a better position to go for that 1 key superstar type player. Look at Spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal with RVP. 1 great player isn't enough.

It's bugging me as well, no doubt he is a good player but he is not one of the best in the world by a long shot
