Christ they're going to really miss him next season. With Spurs being a selling club and the fact they can't offer Champions league football I can only see him elsewhere come August.

Yes, Bale will be elsewhere next season...


...at Arsenal, Aston Villa, Cardiff City, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, Hull City, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Norwich City, Southampton, Stoke City, Sunderland, Swansea City, West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United and at Crystal Palace or Watford.

But he'll mainly be where he naturally belongs at White Hart Lane.

Well if he does fair play to him - he's showed his loyalty knowing that he could walk into a lot of other better teams playing at the top level. I wonder how Levy will respond if he's given an offer that's too good to refuse.

Potentially Bale will stay for next season, I personally think he probably will, if only because the value Levy will place on his head will price him out of the market for pretty much everyone. However, even as a staunch Spurs fan, you must concede that next season you simply MUST deliver Champion's League football in order for him to stay beyond the end of the 2013-14 season? Bale is a fantastic player, and he'll want to be competing at the highest level. As he happens to come from a footballing backwater like Wales he's never going to get to play at a major tournament with his national side, so playing in the Champion's League is going to be the pinnacle of his career. As loyal as you imagine him to be to Spurs (and lets face it, he's not a youth product with a lifelong connection to Spurs is he) sooner rather than later he'll want things Spurs likely can't offer him, namely Champion's League football on a regular basis, and legitimate top level trophy opportunities.
 
I think that if Spurs fail to get Champions League Football for the 2014-15 season, Bale will almost certainly be off and I don't think there would be many Tottenham fans who would begrudge him for it.
