Dante_Lockhart Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Dunno why, but I really hate Levy. Arrogant prick. I understand not wanting to sell your best player, but demanding 100m after 85 has been offered is ridiculous. Overvalues his own squad and undervalues other teams players. Takes the piss really.

Does it though? Bale is only worth what RM will pay and what Levy will accept. Fair play to him for such strong negotiating - he wants to get as much money for his prized asset as possible. Why is this a problem? We did the same thing over Benteke? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 He doesn't want to sell him, he has three years on his contract, he has the right to do what he wants. If he genuinely doesn't feel the £85m will benefit them as much as keeping Bale then it's his duty to not accept it. Obviously I think he's just trying to prove a point but that's his right too and Madrid are a disgusting club anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 31, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2013 IMO Bale will never again be as valuable as he is right now. Levy is right to milk every penny from Real, but the fact they won't replace him like for like means it's not automatic that I'd sell. After all, just because the player wants to go and just because a club in a better current position than you wants him doesn't mean you have to sell, especially if there's 3 years left on a contract. Sounds like a fairly familiar position to me tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 31, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2013 Aside from all the Levy, Madrid, Spurs stuff.... If Bale does go, I for one as a football fan will be sorry that I won't be seeing him play next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than happy to see him go. He always tears us a new one at VP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that he'll be a massive loss to the Premier League though. It's generally not a good thing to see stars of that magnitude ending up in the Primera over the Premier League but I suppose if he had gone to Man Utd instead of Spurs the Premier League would've at least had a better (although not guaranteed) chance of keeping him.

DrUnKeNbUm Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The bloke i worth with is a Spurs fan. in his opinion if they keep bale then they will win the league, without him they will only get champions league. i have to listen to his drivel every day and for that reason alone i despise spurs.

LondonLax Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 If Real Madrid come calling with a serious offer then you can be pretty sure that they will get their man eventually. They might have to wait 12 months like they did with Modric though I think Levy will probably cash in. The money being talked about is off the charts and could set the club up for years. If qualification to the Champions league is supposedly worth around £20m then cashing in is like getting champions league money for the next 5 years.

villa4europe Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 like someone else said a few pages back, with them losing the league last year, getting CA this summer and barca getting neymar everything points to this summer being the one when they spend a ridiculous amount of cash on someone if they do well in the league / CL next season im not convinced this 1 more year and they'll be back next summer thing will actually happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 That is true. This season could be the highest Bale's stock gets if Real switch targets by next year to whoever is flavour of the month then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 So Levy wants £125m. Remind me again how much the new development of WHL is costing? I heard somewhere that the majority of the Bale fee (when it happens) is going towards that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
