Would love for this to blow up in their face and them to be left with nothing.

Seems a slightly odd way of trying to get him to sign a new deal.

"We absolutely positively won't let you go at all this summer because you're under contract, see. I guess next summer we will have to let you go though if you don't sign a new contract.

Anyway, where were we? Would you like to agree to that new deal now?"


If you were Rice, surely you'd just be refusing any new contract as they'd lock his arse up for the next 4 years or so regardless of approaches.

Maybe that’s why nothings agreed eg he is happy to sign but conditional on a release clause

Gareth Bale is reportedly in talks with MLS side DC United over joining them on a free this summer when his £550,000-a-week contract at Real Madrid expires.

The Welshman will see out the remainder of his deal at Real, bringing the curtain down on his rollercoaster nine-year stint at the Bernabeu.

With this year's winter World Cup in Qatar just over six months away, Bale is now considering his options, given how he would like to lead his country at another major tournament.

And according to the Washington Post, DC United are looking to offer him the chance to play stateside ahead of this winter's international showpiece in Qatar.

The report suggests that the MLS side are in talks with Bale's representatives about joining them on a free in the summer, with each side 'exchanging proposals' over a move.

It is also being reported that DC United are prepared to offer Bale – a four-time Champions League winner – a bigger deal than what they gave to Wayne Rooney when he represented the club in 2018.

The Washington Post's Steven Goff states it is 'unclear' whether the deal will pick up speed.

Bale - who has played more than 250 games for Real Madrid and won 14 trophies during that time - has also been linked with a second return to Tottenham, while Cardiff are also said to be interested.

Despite becoming the most successful Brit to play abroad, Bale's spell at Real looks to be ending on a sour note having played just seven matches in all competitions this term.

His lack of action for Madrid has led to anger from Spanish publications after seeing Bale sitting in the dugout for long spells - Marca launched an astonishing attack on the former Tottenham star, calling him a 'parasite' who had been 'sucking Real Madrid's euros'

He furiously hit back in a lengthy statement on social media, writing: 'We all know who the real parasites are.'

Bale has also struggled to win over Real Madrid's fans who loudly booed and whistled him as he made his first competitive appearance at the Santiago Bernabeu in more than two years, when he came off the bench in the 2-0 win over Getafe at the weekend.

21 years old Turkish LB, Ridvan Yilmaz (Besiktas).

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in securing the services of Turkish defender Ridvan Yilmaz from Besiktas in the summer.​

According to a report from Turkish publication TRT Spor, Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race to sign Besiktas youngster Ridvan Yilmaz in the upcoming transfer window.

Having come through the youth ranks at Besiktas, Yilmaz made his first-team debut in 2019 at the age of 17 and has gradually grown into a regular in the starting lineup over the past couple of years. The 20-year-old has played 59 matches in all competitions, scoring four goals and setting up seven more.

Yilmaz has enjoyed a positive 2021/22 term, putting up a return of three goals and four assists in 24 league matches. The youngster broke into the Turkish national team last year and has made six appearances already. His gradual rise to prominence has not gone unnoticed as clubs from across Europe have taken note of his talents.

Indeed, there is interest from Lyon in France and Atalanta in Italy, while Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur have also shown a liking towards Yilmaz ahead of the summer transfer window.

Yilmaz, to that end, has emerged as an enticing target for the north London outfit. The 20-year-old has excelled playing in the wing-back role for Besiktas and has the attacking capabilities to thrive in Conte’s system at Tottenham. Furthermore, he is entering the final year of his contract with the Turkish club at the end of the season and could be available for a bargain in the summer.

It remains to be seen if Tottenham act on their reported interest in Yilmaz in the summer or decide to look at other options if they decide to sell Reguilon.

I think Eriksen on a free makes sense but it's not a very exciting signing to me at least.

I would hope the plan is Eriksen plus another top CM and then we'd have real depth there.

I don't want to go into a season with 4 CMs given that Eriksen can't play in a 2 and we don't know how long it will take Skipp to bounce back from his mystery injury.
 
Eriksen is a no brainier purely for helping with squad numbers in the first part of the season. I think he would far more effective in games like last week where we are trying to Brest teams down. Where kulu is not so effective but he may be better suited to where we sit deep and play on the counter.
