I didn't mean that we agreed to a world record fee for Bale in advance but instead an agreement regarding Real Madrid having first refusal. It ended up with us getting a world record fee the two thoughts weren't connected but I worded it poorly.

@AlMacca_ the problem is that hey didn't even loan us some players who aren't even starters and then sold their most creative player to our biggest rival..why not sell him to psg, bayern or even juve? I know the player has a say but we didnt sell modric to chelsea or man u. We sold him to them for
installments when we could have made more elsewhere. They weren't even discreet, just contant tapping up of bale. Forget them being a better club. We have the resources and could have made us a force in europe to become a massive club in europe if we kept our best players. At the end of the day the player has a contract and should honour it. Im tired of seeing us as a stepping stone to tge so called big clubs. We have bought well but we need a world class player to win things other wise we can say bye to hugo, jan and lamela in 2 years
Where do you think we get our players from? Corinthians were gutted Paulinho went to us, Roma fans are in uproar about Lamela leaving, Chadli was FC Twenty's best player, Eriksen was Ajax's best player etc. etc. etc....
This is football, this is life. They have just paid £86m for a player worth probably £40m think you will find there is only one winner in this deal and that is us.
Their are 12 clubs above us in the Deloitte money tables plus Monaco, PSG and probably Zenit, expect these teams to swoop for our best players it will happen, get used to it.
Maybe I'm naïve as I dunno what we've gained out of this "special relationship".
To me...... it's seems like 1 way traffic, Madrid are making up the rules and we are being mugged off.
There is a petition here to end this relationship.

1 thing that has come out of the end of season..... I now have 1 more item on my bucket list.
Next time I'm in Spain, take a piss on Madrid's stadium. Maybe I'll get lucky and will be touching cloth at the same time

that petition
While we are starting shit petitions I am up for a petition to get better catering staff at the ground.
Sure the service that is currently provided is against the Geneva convention. Maybe.

There is no special agreement/relationship. All bullshit. Money talks.

Imagine Levy's face when he sees this. He'll be incandescent with "yeah, bothered".
To be fair I think we have made decent use of the deal with Internacional. Sandro has spent quite a bit of time there being treated by their medical staff. These deals aren't always about transfers. It looks like we have a similar arrangement with Ajax at the moment with the use of that blood cycling treatment.
Lets also make a petition for Levy to get a hair transplant operation while we're at it...

1 way traffic?? have people forgotten the amount RM have paid for Bale and Rat face in the past 2 years??? The way they went about getting both players is redic But we are not special in that treatment they do the same thing to every club that has a player they HAVE TO HAVE!!
RM are a Massive club and almost every player on the planet will no doubt want to play for them (and the Wages they Pay) the special Relationship was nothing something to tell us to make the loss of rat face easier to bare, the fact we have brought in 7 BRILLIANT players and made ALOT of money from bale is the only reason we haven't had a silly excuse this time.
People need to get over it and so fucking what who the scum got.. may be if we stopped worrying about what there doin for just 1 season we will have a better season than them.finishing above them ISNT the clubs target it shouldnt be ours (dont get me wrong id FUCKING love to finish about them cunts) but our target is to get CL football or if i dare say Maybe go for the title in a season or 2.
I don't sign petitions, as a rule. Largely they're meaningless feel-good exercises.
But I do feel that this partnership needs to go.
Seriously, is there any point to it? All it does is draw attention to the fact that this partnership is clearly one in name only, and it really doesn't reflect well on Spurs' position.

So what's your point, that Madrid paid extra because of our "relationship"? They would have pursued Bale and Modric regardless of a fucking partnership.
Then what the fuck is the point?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
Who wants to sign my petition to stop silly petitions?
Nah not a fan of petitions....if you do it as a nice poll though i'll be all over that shit
I'd like a special relationship with Ajax. Not for players- just swap weed from time to time.
