Garth Crooks reportedly asked him "Will you review your position at Spurs if we don't make Champions League? Bale to Crooks:'long pause'..."We'll see."

Agreed, but if he hands in a transfer request i'll be furious.

He needs to have a chat with Rafa, he's openly said that if we don't get top four then its the players fault and for Bale to want out after having a very average second half of the season drifting around doing very little would be outrageous.

Did he say that this season?

I know some quotes about last year but haven't seen anything from Rafa recently.

I still can't believe Redknapp didn't put van der Vaart in the Europa squad - what the fuck was he thinking?

Wasn't there a worry about vdV's fitness?

I think at the time I rationalised it thus: Redknapp knows vdV wants to play every conceivable minute available, but he'll never last with all these fixtures, so I'll disable his participation in some fixtures a priori.

Of course, that assumes Redknapp knows about rotation.
 
He didn't have to pick him for every game, but why risk upsetting him by leaving him out entirely?

He didn't even call him ahead of the squad announcement to tell him......if Redknapp is supposed to be a good man manager I'd hate to see a bad one
 
Rafa can say that because he has already played at Real Madrid. Bale has it all in front of him, so not the same situation. Not disputing he has to look at what he could have done better for the club, but I wouldn't expect him to have the same grounded perspective as Rafa.
