Hope this doesn't happen but he'd sell plenty of shirts & could easily make money back off him.
Do you really think any club will find it easy to sign Bale?
If Spurs get offered enough they will sell, they always have done.

What makes you so sure?
Wasn't the same said about RVP's contract and fee?
They always find the money when they have to.
I think they have, and if they flog Rooney and a few of their fringe players like Nani they will have more than enough, these twats always pull a rabbit out of the hat, i said the same about V.Persie last year and said they would take it back off us and was poo pooed on here, i was right and i have the same gut instinct about this, sign Rooney and we take the wind out of their sailsMCFC BOB said:Bale sill be staying at Spurs.

Every club in the world sells when they are offered enough, but the question is what is enough? Enough for us would have to be a hell of a lot better than 60m that's for sure, irregardless of what the daily mirror or the sun may say.
United could spend even more than we are... the debt is controllable and isn't punished by FFP. They have so many 'official partners' now, they've sold naming rights to the training ground, to the training kit, they have the biggest kit deal of all, they have the usual revenue everyone gets. The Glazers are wonderful though as they seem to refuse to let them go on an absolute rampage in the transfer market. £60million would be no problem for them, IMO, but I don't think Spurs would sell even at that... they know what an asset they have and Real Madrid would pay even more while not being a direct rival.

Real's after bale, so scummy bags pretends to show interest hoping they sell ronaldo to fund Bale. Only problem for the scumers are PSG and Monaco, who both could easily afford Bale or tranny.
Reckon Mr Levy at Rape Arse lane is hopeful of making a mint at the last minute of the transfer window, save the rum cnut from having to spend any of it.

Levy won't sell Bale to Utd, or to any Premier League competitor (as he sees it). Look at how he held out with the Modric to Chelsea saga, al credit to him. And 60m is well short of his value to Tottenham (whether he's worth it is neither here nor there).
I've said it before - the true world stars don't come to the Prem, partly because our teams won't pay the fee, or the wages (Cavani... Falcao - ridiculously overpriced), but partly because we don't offer what the big Euro clubs offer. Living in Paris on 200k a week, or Monaco, or playing for Real or Barca, it fantasy stuff for these boys, as lovely as I'm sure Alderley Edge and Surrey are, these guys will always look to Europe - lifestyle as well as satisfying football and financial ambition.
The Prem is a stepping stone for the big guns - a means to an end and not an end in itself. As much as I hate to say it, it was for Ronaldo, Alsono, Mascherano and van Nistelrooy, it will be for Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Silva and Aguero.
Naymar, Kaka, Messi, Ronaldo, Cavani, Ibrahimovic, Falcao, Isco and eventually Bale. Football's 'A' list who aspire to the money, lifestyle and the realisation of their footballing ambition that the Premier League can't satisfy.
That's why Bale will wait and head to Soain next summer, why we will never see the 'galacticos' head to the Prem, and why great young foreign players come here to make some cash and a name for themselves before they head off over there for the same reason.

If a PSG,Monaco,City,Chelsea,Rags,Bayern,Madrid or Barcelona threw 60m+ on Levys desk then ye it would be. FFPR looks to have slown down City & Chelsea spending wise otherwise I think he'd be wearing blue next year. That's imo and I believe FFPR will be the only reason u keep hold of him this year. Guaranteed he's gone next year when u fail to make top 4 again.

agree with all of that other than real may not want to spend more than £60M, they may prefer to try and unsettle the player, in the way that they, munich, madrid and the scum always do

There was a piece back a week or so saying that Tixki and company have informed Real that we would do anything to beat United's offer for Ronald (if they actually made one). We seem to be going about business in a really thoughtful manner this window...I wonder if they are willing to go all out to keep Bale from going to them. No release clause means we can essentially block them from talking to him (Levy being Levy). Wonder if we would.

Agreed...especially if Rooney goes. Would/could they go to 80 though...that is the real question.

Didn't Spurs refuse to sell Modric to chelsea for £50 million ?
Given that then you think they'd let the Premier Leagues new golden boy and soon to be 3rd best player in the world go for £10 million more? To the Rags after Berbatov. Nahh.

I just find it amusing that people are considering that United would bid £60m for anyone, let alone Gareth Bale. This is the Glazers we're talking about, they aren't in this to win trophies, or placate fans, they are in this to make money, it's that simple. There's no way they splash £60m on one player, even if they do get £20m or so for Rooney. They can continue to rake in huge profits even if United drop from 1st to 2nd or 3rd. Winning the title isn't actually that important to them, especially when you consider how much of their profits they'd need to forgo to achieve it. About as believable as Ronaldo returning to the club.

I agree. But if they were to sign Ronaldo what would he do to the share price, say if they were looking to sell. You are more intelligent than me. But say they bought him for £80m. That would be amortised over the length of the contract. Say 5 years. So that would be £16m per year. I dare say the total value of all shares may rise by over £16m. Might only take a dollar rise. The glazers get out quids in. The debts on the books.

I can see it. There's a huge amount of money coming into the rags' coffers now and they've reduced their debt financing cost. But the enticing thing from their point of view is that he's not on much more than £60k at Spurs I guess and they could ship out Rooney on £180k a week for £30m and get in Bale for £60m on £120k a week. So Bale will only cost them a net £15m over 5 years.Matty said:I just find it amusing that people are considering that United would bid £60m for anyone, let alone Gareth Bale.

Also Moyes is probably on less than Baconface so it could even end up as costing them nothing.
