I'm fairly sure Levy wouldn't want to see Bale getting crunched into with Real having an£80mil plus offer on the table.
Er what? :gylfi:
How do you know that Eriksen or Lamela won't be like that?
When Bale was just a bit younger than them he was a jinx that everyone wanted out of the side because he was supposedly costing us wins.
Oh, how short memories are.....
I dont, hence the part where I said it was a bit unfair to compare.
At the end of the day we had a truly world class talent who could win any game for us and was a joy to watch. We dont know how good Eriksen and the others will be so at this stage I would rather we kept Bale - its all moot anyway, I'm just sad he's gone.
He is the best player i've ever seen in a Spurs shirt. Who in the last decade is better than him? The all time is clearly arguable, but for me, it is hard to conceive that someone before him is better than him now.
Depends what you look for in a player, Bale has fantastic athletic prowess and a superb shot, but there are other qualities I hold in high regard, the subtleties of Berbatov, and the brilliance of Modric, and the imperiousness of King. Bale was good at what he did, but he is not and never will be worth £85m.
He will be to Real Madrid if he wins them match after match, sells gazillions of shirts/helps them win the league/CL
honestly it seemed like your midfield seemed very defensive and with that creativity is going to suffer. if your defending stays like that and your player's gel as expected no doubt you will have one of the best defences in the league, you do need to supply Soldado though and hopefully for you Erikson could be that player. The injury to Capoue was mysterious as i have not seen a replay but i thought it was initially Cazorla who was fouled it looked nasty hopefully not the double leg break that has been reported as no one wants to see a player suffer such an injury.
I hate when people say that he isn't worth 85m. The player is worth what he is worth to his respected club. GB has a worldwide appeal and sells tickets and merchandise. Whether you like it or not it's modern football and the players worth isn't only based on his ability. Berb or king or modric never had that marketability. I think they never have his ability.
Best sunday i've ever had. ROFL.
Not trauled through the pages to see if my view is replicated, but take solice that we by no means got battered today, we controlled the game, yeah we got done by a smart finish, a lucky strike.
The creativity was lacking and the Capoue injury looked bad....but these things will recover themselves. Eriksen and Holtby are out creativity and Capoue will get better.
Chin up Tottenham fans, hold your heads fucking high, this is a long season, by the time we welcome these cunts back at the lane parity will be restored.
The cream always rises

Hold on, we're talking about 'best players' we've seen, you can't rate someone as the best you've even seen because of their marketability. My point is, his price and the hype have warped the view on just how good he is, to my mind he is not the most technically gifted footballer I have ever seen at the Lane, he is a good footballer but his athletic ability makes him better.
This is the line up I want to see for our next against Norwich:
Walker Kaboul Vert Rose
Pauli Sandro
Lamela Holtby Siggy
Soldado
After 70 min: Bring on Eriksen for Holtby, Townsend for Lamela, and maybe Dembele for Paulinho (or Chadli for Siggy).
I think this has the potential to be a lot more creative and fluid than what we saw today.

I will keep it to one observation, didn't seem we were fast enough on the break. Looked like we were trying to do more patient build up than pushing up quickly at times where i would have expected more aggressive play moving forward.
