I've not seen either play, sign em up they must be good!I'd quite like both.

But who from RM is going to agree to come? Once you have played at Real it takes a pretty humble mind to accept a supposed step down in the name of playing regular football. Playing for Madrid breeds entitlement a horrible trait and only those towards the latter end of their careers become mature enough to accept it.If Bale is going to leave I think we need to get a player in his position as part of the deal. Otherwise we're going to have a very big gap in our team come the start of the season.
Either way I'm now very worried about the first few games.
Assumptions are your rights, questions...... Well that's another story, but not for here.Like many of us on here, I'm resigned to Bale leaving now. With regards to Ghostofarmo's ITK, would I be right to assume that the Roma player is Lamela?

A lot of people saying Lamela but the ITK on him is very weak at best and doubtful Roma will sell.
Lets get this straight, and it's nice to see more and more of us coming around to this!
Bale has said he wants to go? Seems that way.
Levy has agreed to sell? Seems that way too.
However, this will only happen IF and I mean IF Madrid meet our valuation, whether that be £85m or £100m, then an agreement needs to be made about how this is paid, what percentage up front, over how many years, sell on fees, blah blah blah. That will be the sticking point, and the bit that Levy will be very insistent on. That will be the reason the sale falls through, not whether or not we have accepted he can go.
Every player has his price.
Edit : beaten to it by Riandor, pretty much!

Any youngsters travelled with the squad for today's game mate? Veljkovic maybe?
Maybe I'm in denial but I refuse to accept Bale leaving. I know on most forums the popular consensus is to sell and buy some exciting new name but I couldn't get excited about Lamela, Llaljic or any other similar player if we sold Gareth.
He was born to play for Spurs and he is irreplaceable. When was the last time we had a player in our team regarded by many outside the club as the 3rd best player in the world? He needs to stay and push us on, I believe that with him we can do special things.
Sell him and all that is gone IMO. I know people often state Arsenal as an example of how to cope with losing stars but in reality the reason they haven't won anything for so long and that we have sucked then into a battle they should never have been a part of, is because they have lost their best players and their replacements haven't stepped up. Isn't Theo now they biggest earner FFS?!
I have no control over whether he stays or goes but whilst there is air in my lungs I will never accept it before it happens.
Just to throw a little curly in there to ruminate on...
If Bale is going, and I am by no means convinced he is, could the silence also be because we want to conclude our incoming business first and avoid getting raped?
Personally I don't think he's going anywhere for the plethora of reasons already mentioned, multiple times, on here.
But just thought I'd add a little seasoning to the pot you've all got brewing.
