No twitter, peoples. Totally unverifiable.

Wasn't there a poll regarding twitter, and the posting of twitter info? And weren't most people in favour of it?

The stance of some folk on the validity of twitter 'info' is incredible when you consider how little 'genuine' ITK actually comes to fruition. As far as I'm concerned, both sources are for the cruel/wonderful titillation of us fans anyway...quantifying its integrity is taking things way too seriously, no?

Marca really are getting desperate. They've got to the stage of making up quotes now. Not a single word of that sounds like the sort of thing Bale would say.

"You made me a promise. You promised me if we didn't qualify for the Champions League and a good offer turned up you'd listen to it. Well that offer has arrived and I want to play for Real Madrid. So keep your word and negotiate". Daniel Levy, who is famed for being a hard business man, discovered the hard way that 24 year-old Gareth Bale doesn't beat about the bush.

Accustomed as he is to tough meetings, the one Levy had with the player last Wednesday in London was a real eye opener.
Bale was just as direct in his approach to the Chairman as he is when he plays on the pitch of White Hart Lane. The Welsh forward left little room for doubt: "I'm not interested in Manchester United or any other club. I only want to play for Real Madrid."

Right, as soon as this is cleared up and the banstick rammed up a couple of jackseys, this will be re-opened.

For the perps who fall foul: If you want to complain, whinge or cry about it, PM anyone. Just not me.

This is disgusting. Surely Bale and his agent should be angry about this, let alone the club. They are referencing specific supposed meetings with dates and everything. and how would they be able to quote a conversation between Bale and Levy, unless they have a robotic fly on Levy's wall... o_O

Getting a man on the moon would have proven more problematic than getting into Levys office.

Its been said for the past few days (maybe the week) that we have signed him, but paperwork had not been compleated for some reason.

Its why he wont play a part over in China as he wasnt officially our player even thought he was training with us.

on SSN they were saying that it was because he hadn't been registered in time for the tournament

Just edited your post so it looks less like a post from twitter. A&C has red mist and may have dropped kick you out the thread.
