Is it only me who can't get his head around all this Bale hype?
He's got pace and can put a cross in - check.
And playing more centrally he's had one good season - check.
But £85 fecking million? Come on FFS. That makes £35m for Andy Carroll or £50m for a Torres who couldnt score in a brothel, seem very very reasonable. And we all know how stupid those fees were.
Bale is a very decent £30m ~ £35m player. Nothing more. Surely???
I would say in the market at moment 50-60 million. He has been world class for the past two years now and won so many game for Spurs singlehandedly last season.

Would be hilarious if Madrid didn't win the league or the CL with that attacking line up.
