I'm fairly sure Levy wouldn't want to see Bale getting crunched into with Real having an£80mil plus offer on the table.Leighton Bains and the twat with the afro have both played for Everton while United continue to try and buy them. Absolute professionals. I tip my hat to them. He went and got "injured". Then skipped training for a week.
I would rather have our new signings rather than GB. We over relied on him too much last season and this season we will be much better and much more balanced. My point is no matter how much better as a team we are, we have lost our single best player in the last decade and maybe of all time. My point was that in the 87th minute needing one goal i'm taking last season with GB over this season's new signings, but in the first 86 minutes i'd rather have the whole team. I'm just sad..
How do you know that Eriksen or Lamela won't be like that?Im saying I'd prefer Bale because he is the best player we have had in years and he embodies everything about Spurs for me. He was the most exciting player in the league going on incredible solo runs scoring glorious goals and he done it most games he played in. Hes the type of player kids have as their hero, the type of player we could have looked back on when we were old and say we saw him live. As much as I'm sure we will be a better team with the new signings we have brought in to replace him (we better fucking be) you can never really replace a special rare talent like that.
I hate to say it...but games like today were the ones where Bale would pop up and smash one in from 25 yards.
I dont, hence the part where I said it was a bit unfair to compare.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.....
Er what? :gylfi:
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.
He will be to Real Madrid if he wins them match after match, sells gazillions of shirts/helps them win the league/CLDepends 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.

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.
