Isn't that the wifes job? Pretty much what happens to me at least.
Think Emma will be the key to it all.
But I imagine her voice may get lost in the 100 other people whispering MADRID

As i said the other day. Bale also told Levy he wants to leave but Levy said no! So unless DL has changed his mind he's not going anywhere. It's also true he will not force the move even though another team mate has told him to hand in a transfer request! Can't mention the player on here but has been passed on to our mods.
Honestly I think bale needs a strong character to get a grip on him ATM his head is all over the place surely he's a shy young quiet lad he doesn't like a fuss so this must be kind of like his worst nightmare he's getting pushed against a wall and I personally think he would be pretty easy to manipulate
You mean there is a way to drown out the wife?Think Emma will be the key to it all.

I agree to a point. We're all subject to manipulation by others, but when it reaches a boiling point is where your personality rises to the surface, for better or worse. If he's feeling bullied by agents, press, fans, clubs, etc then he has two choices: Make a statement regarding his true wishes AND STICK TO IT like an adult, or retreat into a hole and be submissive like a child. This really is a black & white issue.Honestly I think bale needs a strong character to get a grip on him ATM his head is all over the place surely he's a shy young quiet lad he doesn't like a fuss so this must be kind of like his worst nightmare he's getting pushed against a wall and I personally think he would be pretty easy to manipulate
I don't mean entertainment for the mods. Just thought a couple posts were funny. It's done now anyway.By 'us all' I hope you aren't including the people who had to spend their time dealing with the duplicate account, removing posts, tidying up the thread, dealing with the person in question with the original account etc etc
I stand by my information, Bale is NOT leaving. Simple as.

If we're not going to publicly reiterate that he's not for sale, then why not take a leaf out of Salvo's book and publicly issue a deadline, stating that Real Madrid are aware of our demands and that if they are not met by <enter date here> then he will not be sold. Obviously as I'm typing this, I realise that any public intention that we make of selling him weakens our position in the transfer market so we're actually in a really, really difficult position. I'm just extremely worried that it'll drag on and on and we'll lose him towards the end of the window and be unable to replace him. Not even a sniff of ITK on any potential replacements is quite worrying.
Sorry, but that's bollocks, everyone knows that a missus' voice is loudest.
Why can't we just agree some sort of pre contract agreement with Real Madrid for next season, would give us time to find an adequate replacement and still let Bale fulfil his dreams of playing for an elite club. Before he joins RM

I think it mostly has to come from AVB, he has to be passionate about giving them chances and backing his ability to improve them and get them playing at PL level rather than buying the next quick fix. Case in point Caulker, not the best CB ever and lacking in some areas but being young that will happen, I think he has shown enough to be persisted with over the next year or two rather than the manager give up on him after one season and seemingly buy some random Romanian finished article instead.
As you mention, Carroll is the obvious one. What good is a loan going to do if he is stuck with inferior players/shit pitches/ poor quality football? But there are others, I think Townsend is very raw but has a lot of potential (far more raw skills than Lennon for instance) if he has good players around him he can learn off. I bet he is next one out the door though. One of the things we kept hearing about AVB is that he was someone ideal to bring through the promising youth players and maximise our investment in the Training facilities, and I know it doesn't happen overnight, but I see near zero interest in this area from him so far. Disappointing.
Whoever is sorting out these loans has lost the plot though. I don't know why Pritchard et al have been sent to League One or what that achieves. Seemingly sacrificing a year of their development to establish a partnership with Swindon, one of the more unstable clubs out there. Others have got stuck in championship loan after championship loan. Needs to be re-focused.
