If the PSG/Eriksen/Draxler offer is indeed true, then surely we can tempt Real to do something in a deal for Bale, or they risk losing out again (Neymar) to PSG?

Do Real give a shit about Neymar anymore?

I’m sure there was a story recently about how they had always wanted and followed him, only to keep missing out. Like he’s the biggest fish they let slip, and they won’t stop wanting him. So, I guess that points to your answer. I have no idea about links to this story tho.

I know it's idiotic and gullible but if Eriksen goes to Madrid and we don't get Bale in return somehow then I'm going to be stupidly disappointed.

Anything over 70m, I'd be happy with. That said, it's not my cash, so my opinion is of little importance, really.

As a club, though, I would expect we'd deal at that kind of figure. I'd be surprised if Levy demanded much more, actually.

Anyone saying no to Gareth Bale is just downright stupid.

Not a chance we'd be fully paying his 600k wages, part of any deal would of course cover this.

Signing a world class player is not only a massive statement to the rest of the league that we mean business, but also a massive statement to the rest of the team, and a move that woukd make the likes of Kane, Eriksen, Toby etc want to stay because its proof we want to win leagues and more.

Just having a player like Bale in the dressing room, and training with him would be a huge confidence boost to the whole team. A signing like this would change the feeling inside the club massively for the better IMO.

Bale coming in and instantly being the highest earner also wouldn't be an issue. The players would understand Bale is world class and a multiple champions league winner.. Players start causing trouble when you start giving young players like Rashford £300k a week. Rashford is a brilliant player with massive potential of course, but those are the sort of new deals that turn heads, not when it's a proven winner at the biggest club in the world.

Aslong as we can the right deal and not get mugged of by Real Madrid, I'd give my left nut to get Bale back.
That’s incredibly naive to think the wages won’t matter and players will sit on their hands while he makes 3x (or more than what they make.) Do you think Kane thinks Bale is 3 times better than he is? When we have a season where Son outscores Bale do you think we won’t have to then quadruple Son’s wages?

It is an issue - it will always be an issue. We need to have those wages subsidized or this won’t happen.

Danny Rose has said in an interview that it is Tottenham's policy to move on players after a certain age so he might be moving this summer. He is only 28 so begs the question why would we be interested in a 30 year old bale?

Really? Is that a serious question?

It’s Gareth Bale.

We didn’t know Llorente was 32 when we signed him then?

I meant it won't matter immediately as soon as he walked through the door.

Your scenario is after a full season. Worry about getting Kane and Son's wages closer to Bale after the first season.

Fact is, we need a Bale or someone of his ilk to take us to the final level, its a statement to the players as much as anything else.

One in a long list of bizarre comments by our Danny. I do like his openness. But it can be a little odd at times. Such as this one makes very little sense and doesn't line up with reality. Look at Jan, Sissoko, Fernando, Toby etc. No idea what he's talking about.
