Not if it cost 6m!
We get a respected ITK reinforcing what others have been saying about Bale, and you're bitching about it?What exactly is new about Jasper's latest? Unless you've been reading an awful lot into the grand total of ZERO statements from the club and Bale, it's always been "make us a ridiculous offer or he stays."
No I wouldn't be 'fine' per se if we sold him last minute but if Madrid completely buckled and offered us stupid amounts on favourable payment terms then he's sold, simple as.so you'd be fine with selling bale on the last day of the window then?

That's relative to every single player, not just Bale.
Well that was a ball's up in our poor recruitment process all summer long but it reaffirms the point I previously made that every player has a price and if we are reluctant to sell as was the case with Berbatov, Modric and Carrick, we got very good value for each of them and Utd and Madrid played to our tune.NOT going to happen. Daniel Levy's words after the Berbatov/Frazier Campbell nonsense,
"We failed because we were not as decisive or as successful in identifying or replacing the two strikers as early as we should have been." http://www.theguardian.com/football/2008/oct/26/tottenham-portsmouth-levy-berbatov-ramos-redknapp
Never seen Levy admit to a mistake before, or since, so no way is that going to happen again, in my opinion.

quite a lot of signings isn't it?
You'd think we finished 15th and were battered by all the top clubs. Rather than just missing out on top 4 thanks to a couple of dodgy games and getting to Europa QF all while missing Kaboul and Sandro for most of it and fit strikers for good chunks too.
I expect us to have a real fire sale next week, everything thing and everyone must go!
Just hope we can sign another striker who is a bit different to what we have and a lennon upgrade
Abso-bloody-exactly!Absolutely, Levy is outstanding at getting not only maximum value for a player, but even more than that. £2m is what Carrick cost us, sold for almost £19m just 2 years later. Unbelievable business!! Same for Berbatov, too. The point I was trying to make, is that there's no way such an occurance (as the Berbatov/Campbell thing) is going to happen again, unless we've got a replacement for Bale in beforehand, which, as far as I can see, we most certainly haven't. Therefore, by sheer association, Bale is not going to be sold any time soon

Cannot dispute Levy is brilliant at what he does....however...... *glances sadly at empty trophy cabinet*
There is keep mention of Alderweireld. Trust me, not good enough for Tottenham.
I imagine it would be his fabled wallet instead of his shoeWhen the day comes that Overlord Dwarf-Commander Levy moves on, his special orthotic shoe will take pride of place in said cabinet - It will be the first shrine and site of pilgrimage for the BSoDL.
But his lady is stunning!
