Well, we may perhaps be on the cusp of yet ANOTHER world record transfer smackdown. Seems that Madrid are desperate for him and RIGHTLY so, Bale wants that move.
I understand, nobody wants to lose their best player. Any team that wants to prove to their fans that they are serious about winning trophies, must keep their best soldiers. While that is true, there does come a time when one must see sense and look at the cards that are on the table.
As I write this, Spurs should have closed the deal on getting Soldado. But is he enough to convince Bale that Spurs are ready to take on the big cats in the Premiership? NO, it's not. Levy needs to get real and either bring in some big time players or cave in.
100 million? Please, give me two breaks and a kit-kat. Holding out for that is madness. 85 million is way beyond what Bale is worth...but its been put down on the table. TAKE THE CASH, and start collating a list of players to get. Its about market sense. Dortmund have done it and if Villas-Boas is worth the mustard, then that is MORE than enough to buy players to fit in his system
Let the boy leave. After his great season, as well as the manner he is handling this in contrast to Modric, Levy has to accept that they failed to make it to the Champions League and failed in bringing in two top soldiers to accompany Bale.
85 Mill...last I checked ain't chump change.
