Tottenham press conference: Live updates from AVB. 28/08/13

[JerryGarcia]

Love Dawson but if you think for one minute that if he was actually on Bale's skill level and Madrid came in to him, that Dawson wouldn't want to leave?!?

Genuinely LOLing at the thought of a Dawson transfer saga to Madrid.

Zidane: Michael Dawson is a player we like, I can't say too much but a player of this quality would command a world record transfer fee.

Perez: In football anything is possible, Michael Dawson? We'll see.

Ramos: Michael Dawson would fit in well at Madrid, the players would be happy to have him.

Ronaldo: Dawson is a very good player, I played against him in England, he has the Madrid style.

It has nothing to do with his bringing up,lol. Bale is an elite footballer and Dawson is just a good one.

NB: common denominator

Tongue in cheek my good man.

Dawson has respect, Bale is a sheep!

Within that statement, you have just argued that it is and is not environment Or you have argued for both nature and nurture.

But I see the point and it is valid. Bale is probably a decent bloke. But having been told that he is King Midas for years now, his attitude has most likely been affected. Whereas Dawson is a bit more grounded because he hasn't been pampered to an extreme degree by those trying to cash in on him.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Can't wait for us to win the title next year with Soldado, Lamela and company while Bale gets shipped off to Valencia for £20m after spending 2 years on the bench. Sorry Gareth. You seem a good sort and you were bloody good for us. But you're shafting yourself for the promise of power and glory when you could have been part of something really special here.

Bye.

And after two bitchy arguments yesterday in the Transfer area......let me just say......this is how you discuss a difference of opinion. You make jokes, you make points and you learn from the counter points.

Arguing like Bosses!

   Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas rules out signing Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata. Spurs did enquire about the possibility of signing Mata, but Villas-Boas concedes there is no chance that the Blues will offload one of their players to a rival club.
   "First, Chelsea wouldn't sell to Tottenham in any way or form, as they think that we are title contenders," he said. "Mata is a great, great player - player of the season last season - very, very important player for Chelsea.
   "They're just not going to strengthen another team that, in their opinion, are rivals for the title."

Bale could have been a legend and gone off with our best wishes.

He's instead soured his relationship with the fans and clearly AVB too by going on strike for the last two days.

The transfer was happening - but whether it did or didn't he was still contracted to us and should have acted professionally.

I'm really gutted for him as he always came across as such a good lad but it won't be his goals, contribution or manner that I remember about him.

Bye Gareth.

I love that from AVB, he's clearly just saying Chelsea signed Willian because they were scared of us.

I feel so sorry for AVB, he looks like his friend has just stabbed him in the back. Hope he can shake this off and not be too down about it.

 

[Misfit]

I would actively root for a Dawson move to RM. G'wan Michael. Give 'em hell, son! Give. Them. Hell.

 

[robbiedee]

He was told Bale would be staying.

As was Paulinho, wonder if he is ok with how things are turning out, already renegging on things when he's only been at the club a month...
