EA always take the piss, though it's more out of gamers rather than supporters. What were they promoting anyway?

Thanks guys and gal
Been so caught up in our transfer activity that I forgot to check when our first game would be. Just assumed they'd all be on Saturday for some reason.
Oh well. Another day of recovery for Verts I guess.

Had a look and it was just them announcing all the club deals they have for this year's game. Interestingly Southampton is one of them, as well as Everton. Wouldn't think too much of it. Though Goodison Park is finally on FIFA.

To be honest I just don't think he can possible have a season like he did last year. Not saying he's a one year wonder or something, but there's no way he scores the kinds of goals he did last season regularly.

I disagree he should be scoring more goals this season than he did last season, he still young and improving and those wonder goals were getting more consistent near the end of the season. He should also score more normal goals with better players around and having the team settled in AVB's system. He is obviously modelling himself on ronaldo and is looking to be worth more yet his goals tally has been poor as he has only matched Ronaldo's tally in his last season united, which most of season he struggled with a ankle injury
Ronaldo got 31 goals for united in the league and Bale has the potential to reach that but if he goes madrid and he gets eaten alive by that dressing room, then he could take a while to reach that potential

But as long as he's capable of it, the teams have to pick their poison. And I think with the additions of Soldado, Chadli, and Paulinho, the odds will be more in our favor.
Not sure if this article was posted yesterday or not, this thread has got a little bloated. Google translation and the bottom have added some translation by a Spanish based Spurs supporter.

"The Madrid, upset with Bale
The directors of Madrid is upset with Gareth Bale. Those responsible for negotiating what could become the most expensive transfer in the history of the sport feel that the player has not been involved enough in the cause Madrid. Florentino Pérez, President, and Jose Angel Sanchez, the corporate CEO, forwarded to the player who needed his help to pressure the Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, to lower their aspirations. Levy asks about 130 million euros and in Madrid believe that if the Welsh had shown more rebellious would have slowed this inflation.
The Madrid Bale suggested that disputed with Wales last Wednesday's friendly to demonstrate publicly that if he did not play with Tottenham was not because I was injured but because he was insubordinate to his current employer. But Bale is not dressed in short. In Chamartín offices compared him with Rooney, who did exactly what it takes to prove to Manchester United he wanted to join Chelsea: on Wednesday, the England striker played 90 minutes against Scotland at Wembley after remaining low throughout the summer.
Disgusted, on Thursday, a leader of Madrid Bale representative called to express his disappointment at the Player passivity when Levy tighten. They explained that Madrid was making a great effort in Spain to transfer an image local media heroic, mutinous, of Welsh. An image they would like to see reflected in facts.
Bale, 24, made it clear from the beginning that I did not want to look bad with the club opted for their development from youth. However, over the weeks and the stalled negotiations in Madrid footballer should consider the more energetic display against Tottenham. Instead of manifest disgust in public, Bale Levy informed his desire to sign for a big club like Madrid, with aspirations to win the Champions League. Moreover, remained quietly in the background and never missed work sessions set by his coach, Villas-Boas, in the sports of Hotspur Way.
The Madrid, according to club sources, made contact with the player's agent for weeks to propose measures of force. First, he was asked to train with Bale procurase no peers. Then, on Friday, August 2, we recommended that offered a press conference to say that he wanted to sign for Madrid. The player did nothing, in contrast with Luka Modric, a year ago more than fulfilled with manual pressure-Croatian left their country without permission of the coach-during the negotiations that led to Madrid.
In the ensures Tottenham Bale has behaved exquisitely with them. Sources close to the board insist that the boy has done everything he has asked Levy: not travel to Monaco with the team two weeks ago, did not play for Wales, and not risk an injury while competing negotiations with Madrid still in progress. The 100 million euros you can bill for the transfer Levy are reason enough to preserve him from any mishaps that may lower your quote.
They say in Madrid Bale and his agent are shown as two gentlemen phlegmatic. Two gentlemen who do not want to put the mud of a negotiation in which Daniel Levy does nothing but wait patiently until the price is inflated."

Real Madrid are angry with Bale. They think he should of pressured Spurs into selling him more.
Spurspanyol @spurspanyol 28m
He says that Real asked Bale to do two things: to not train & to hold a press conference on the 2nd of August asking to leave.
Spurspanyol @spurspanyol 28m
Bale obviously did neither. They also desperately wanted him to play for Wales so it was CLEAR he wanted to go. Bale didn't.
Spurspanyol @spurspanyol 27m
They claim that his agent (Barnett) and Bale have done EVERYTHING Levy has asked of that. He says it was Levy's decision to..
Spurspanyol @spurspanyol 27m
NOT travel to Monaco, to NOT play against Wales as to not risk an injury in a porential 100M€ move.
Spurspanyol @spurspanyol 26m
Real Madrid actually CALLED Barnett to say they are disappointed with the lack of movement from Bale's end.
Spurspanyol @spurspanyol 24m
In Real's eyes both Bale & hsia gent are playing the perject "gentleman" and not wanting to do anything to annoy Levy.
Spurspanyol @spurspanyol 24m
However, in turn, they are upsetting Madrid by not forcing THFC's hand. So there you have it.

I am not sure you are talking about JJ or me. But my priority is neither sell him or he stays, but I just want the problem to be solved as soon as possible.

Every situation is different though isn't it. Modric wasn't for sale at any price, Bale is for silly money... DL would look pretty stupid if he came out and said he wasn't for sale then flogged him because Madrid offered £100 mill... As good as you've been JJ I'm pretty happy if your reasoning behind GB leaving is that DL hasn't come out and said anything!
