Ed can you confirm that this story of of a transfer request and agreeing a 6 year deal with Real is rubbish regarding Bale? {Ed001's Note - as far as I am aware there is nothing in it. The only thing he has ever said to people who know him, is that he is happy at Spurs, for now, but would like to play abroad in the future.}

Typical #MARCA rubbish asusual! {Ed001's Note - it must be remembered, they are a Real Madrid mouthpiece, they will often try and force issues on the club's behalf.}

Ask yourself a question, Chadli £7m, Paulinho £17m and now Soldado £20m. A total of £43m with no Champions League revenues, or perhaps you thought Levy had a £50m warchest tucked under his bed for a rainy day like today.

Bale is an amazing player, truly world class in every way, but please be reasonable. We need a new stadium which will cost millions, we also need Champion League football if we are to grow to the next level. One might argue we need Gareth Bale to achieve both, but that would be true oy if we had a superb team without around him.

If the Real Madrid rumours are true, I think we would actually move forward if we sold him for £80m+. The expenditure rules are looming, and never again will we see these type of values. Spurs can rebuild in a few positions, and move away from our current one dimensional structure, into a multi channelled team again.

He sat out training today.
If he doesn't play tomoro then avb will have to fend off a lot of questions.

4.) 23 Jul 2013
This can't be true.

Bale isn't the type of person to hand in a transfer request. Especially after all the priase he has of Spurs and how he is happy here.

Also, levy has categorically said that Bale is 100% not for sale at ANY price. I know he said this about Modric, but Modric was trying to force his way out and wasn't happy. It's different with Bale. He's still young and has 14/15 years left in him to play. Plenty of time to join Europe's Elite. He's not ready yet.

If you watch Spurs TV posted today with Walker interviewing his teammates, Spurs, although reportedly injured, Bale is in Hong Kong training with the team, not exactly the actions of someone who just "agreed" to personal terms with another team. It is a BS story making the rounds. The video was shot during yesterday's training session.
~Croatian Yid!

Bale isn't going anywhere this Summer - end of! The money being spent is TV revenue - think about it. the tv deal is worth loads more than previous years, that coupled with the usual Summer spending which excludes player transfers ie. Huddlestone etc and Bentley, Gallas etc leaving due to contracts expiring - we have money to spend! Bale will leave but NOT this Summer!

7.) 23 Jul 2013
Bale is off. There's reports everywhere now.

To be fair who could blame him, If the clubs showing no ambition by not signing a striker - Tottenham are now on the slide.

8.) 23 Jul 2013
£80m+? Come on mate, £60m will be a bit of a push! He's not as good as CR7

9.) 23 Jul 2013
Did nobody see the press conference with AVB? He said categorically that Bale is going nowhere and rumours like this are natural after the season he had. Bale took a knock in training and will not feature against Sunderland, but should be fit to play in the second game of the tournament.

Bale is going nowhere this summer. Levy has sanctioned deals to show Bale we have the ambition so go to the next level. He wouldn't do that if he was about to offload his prized asset.

Fear not. Gareth will be in the front 3 wearing number 11 at Tottenham next season.

Considering we haven't spent as largely compared to the other teams around us in recent years I think we are in a posistion to spend without selling bale. and to say we are not rebuilding is mad. What do we honestly need now. a striker. which I can see us doing this week with soldado. Maybe a couple of frnge players and then that's it.

The reports aren't everywhere it is just every site copy and pasting what marca have said a load of rubbish. last week they said bale was staying for a season as levy was not willing to negotiate with them and now they are saying he has handed in a transfer request. he is on the front cover of fifa with a spurs shirt and is part of Bt so if he did leave i'm sure he would lose out on a lot of money as fifa would have asked for assurances that he would be staying before they put him on the front cover with a spurs shirt otherwise they would be made to look like persons {Ed052's Note - Because Bale is on a kids game and a TV advert doesn't mean he is staying}

12.) 23 Jul 2013
Thats right ed 52 it doesn't but equally its a good indication he is staying. or are you just trying to stir things up

derbyshire dave {Ed052's Note - Why is it a od indication he will stay. I think he will, but EA Sports don't ring up Spurs, and say ''Is Bale staying, we want him on the cover'', same with BT. They have him beucase he is popular, and draws people to buy the game/get BT, not as a secret message to y'all}

13.) 23 Jul 2013
Was just going to say the same. Please don't be naive enough to think that because Bale is on the cover of fifa and he promoted your new kit that he is staying 100%. Anything can happen.

14.) 23 Jul 2013
I, like all Spurs fans want him to stay but i'm seriously wandering why he just doesn't come out and say so.

All it would take is the club to release a statement on Gareths behalf saying that he is happy at Spurs, is settled in his family life and that he doesn't want to go anywhere. That'd end all this BS once and for all. He has had plenty of time to do it after all.

A worried Flippit.

15.) 23 Jul 2013
Bale is going, end of. Stop dreaming, why would anyone choose Spurs over Real Madrid?. Playing for them is the peak of anyones career, it can't get better. Get real and hope Levy gives ALL the fee to AVB.

16.) 23 Jul 2013
But what were saying is that as EA have him on the cover with a SPURS shirt they would look stupid and it would be bad for business if he did leave so obviously they think he will say and ED we never said that they ring up spurs {Ed007's Note - This is a football site, to discuss real-life football. If you want to talk about video games we have a site for that. I haven't read so much garbage in a long time.}

17.) 23 Jul 2013
I really think he is off this time. Nothing is being said and that's worrying. Also coentrao left training earlier. Is he involved in any deal? It wouldn't Suprise me. On a day when I woke up with our potential team containing bale, chadli and soldado together, niw it's all going tats up.
Keep bale, sign soldado and coentrao and we have a top 3/4 first team.
Wake up levy ffs.

18.) 23 Jul 2013
Flipit,

If gareth even gives the rumors one sentence in the media he will be hounded. No matter what he says his words will be relayed as either he wants to leave, or they think "he doth protest too much" and he's leaving.

You can't win with the media. Learn this lesson from mourinho. Its best he says nothing

He HAS already said he is looking forward to help spurs get fourth spot this year, unless he meant with the signings we can make with ALL that lovely money ha ha

So ed 52 you were just tring to stir things up with you comments. you say in one message you think he will stay (once pushed on the matter) but in a throw away comment you say it doesn't mean he is staying. had you not wanted to stir things up you might have said "doesnt mean he is staying but I think he will stay" this would have been more clear on a very very sensitve issue on this page.

derbyshire dave {Ed052's Note - Dave. Becuae he is on an advert doesn't mean he will stay. But I think he will. I don't understand why your confused}

21.) 24 Jul 2013
Im not now you have cleared things up.
