C'mon Escorp Modric worth the price so idk what you're talking about. probably you still annoyed by that one GOAL ? ahahaha JK, but seriously Modric worth the money, probably you should mention that NPOWER LEAGUE brat who was bought for 15 million by MANU :cool:
Modric is a great player. Always liked him, but Madrid overpaid for him - or rather, Levy made them overpay..
With the fund they got last year, Tottenham use that, to pay the fees/salaries of 3 top-class players in Lloris, Verthonghen & Dembele. And, even if they didn't qualify for CL, they had the highest tally in an EPL season...

Personally, if Bale's deal goes through, it's up to debate whether Madrid would have made a good or bad deal. But undoubtedly, that would be an awesome deal for Spurs. They can literally bring 3 more great players, and add some fantastic depth to their squad.

Or Levy is once again, going to get way way more money than a player's worth...yet again, after Van der Vaart, Berbatov, Modric ect... and now, Bale.
Well, you can't say that Levy doesn't do his job well... Spurs are making great deals.
Ronaldo... Cristiano Ronaldo, is at the moment the most expensive player ever!

How come Madrid paid so much for him? Because he scored many goals for his team that year, freekicks, shots from long range, all kind of goals, but also his skills, that are quite good to watch. He had also won the Best player in the world, he didn't have to prove anything else....


Now they are asking for like £80-130 millions for Gareth Bale???
He did a good season, good player, but he he should cost £50-65 millions, around the same price as neymar/falcao... He's no golden boot, he's not "something else"....



But apparetly Tottenham president got pissed off because last year they took Modric, that forced them to sell him, this year the same is happening, but they made a deal with bale, didn't go champions and madrid is ofering good moeny



the fact that they don't spend much doesn't mean they don't have much. But they should get 2-3 good players if they want to do osmething in champions, the investment will be worth it
I really love Bale but I have to agree with you, he is not worth 130 millions. But the fact that Madrid is putting such high price tags is just another proof that they are ready to waste any amount of money just to get their hands on whatever player Florentino has put his eyes on. It's seems like it's no longer about having a good team, it's just about having the stars, and that's why they don't get the results they've been after those past years.

Exactly, and I'd say that they'd be able to get more than just 3 great players if they refuse the current bid and ask for some more. And I'm pretty sure they might do it. That "leaving-staying" act has been going for quite some time, they might use it once more just to get some more money for Bale.

I don't like it as well, common he is Ronaldo, Christiano Ronaldo, he was worth that price and Gareth Bale should cost £50-65 millions.. Ronaldo is much more flexible, has better headers and ya certainly better winger than Gareth Bale..

almost the same with the last season, and you know what happened back then,,
signing of Andre Santos, which was a huge flop....

will it happen again this season? we shall see....

Yeah.
And Ronaldo, when he was at Man Utd, even without scoring a goal or making an assist, it was a joy to watch him, he was siiick! All those skills and that.
But yeah Bale shouldn't cost more than 70 millions. And tottenham will have money to bring great wingers, like Bernard (At. Mineiro (Brazil)), Taison, Hulk, etc...

Yeah, sometimes is about having the stars for Madrid, but Kaka was the biggest flop, didn't have halfd of the influence he had on Milan.

wenger recently said, i think it was yesterday, that signing no players is an advantage for them, as he knows the olayers, they are settled down etc... And unlike the last years, they haven't lost any player. But I think they should spend some money on a great player. Tottenham is making more moves than them, trying to sign Soldado and that

Pre-season almost over, who's excited?? ;D
I am ahaa:p Specially for the Premier League (Mourinho back, new man city and united) and Portuguese League

Guys, it's offical...

Real Madrid just bought Gareth Bale for £105 millions. :eww:

Oh well...
God of war, that news is untrue and bale as of this moment is still a tottenham player the news of the transfer is not published on either Madrid or spurs website or any reputable footballing sites, hence it's is simply put not true. I will advise you to pay no attention to the tabloids and mediocre websites who thrive on spreading false rumors and news. Real Madrid sure do know how to spend irresponsible bale is no wear worth 100 millions talk less of 105 million, this is a player who years ago tottenham were willing to offload because his performances were sub par of the level expected of a player of his quality, bales season was phenomenal no doubt but he neither reached 30 goals a season nor did he win the EPL golden boots, all achievements Ronaldo had acquired plus the ballon d or before he could command such market value, bale hasn't won any of those awards aside the PFA player and young player of the year award, bales what? 24? 25? When Ronaldo was that age he was arguably the best player in the world and still he couldn't command a market value of up to 100 millions euros, I don't blame madrid though the prospect of Ronaldo not signing a new deal and one questions marks on his future at the club, can force any team to spend big plus the pressure to secure a marquee and world class player after they failed to land Neymar didn't help, Madrid would most likely buy bale but it's a shame bale leaving EPL arguably one of the best and Competitive leagues in the world and surely the most interesting in my opinion. Lets see how things go in the couple of days, from a barca fan perspective I'm scared as hell because the shear thought of a team with bale,Ronaldo and isco is nothing short of scary. If rosell doesn't step up and sign a cb most likely to be agger or Luiz this season might be disastrous, in rosell recent conference he implied that barca are yet to sign up one more player, and simply put Neymar and this other certain unknown player are in no way going to have the desired effect in my opinion, we need at least 4 top quality signings to make barca become the once feared force it was 2/3 seasons back, let's see I hope rosell is smart enough and I have my doubts about this "tata" guy with no European experience what so ever I hope it works out.

maybe it'S cause i really really don't like Bale (don't ask me why, i don't know) but his price is idiotic, any club would be crazy imo to even give 80 millions. well, anyway, i feel he should stay in Tottenham and prove he can play like he did last season, Madrid won't lose much strength imo and Tottenham will possibly have at least 1 more good season ;)

Ya and besides I don't think he will make much difference in Madrid anyway, and Tottenham should retain him but Levy doesn't care, does he??

So apparently, arsenal offered 46 millions euros for suarez, i guess thats about £40 million, and liverpool rejected, when it was the releasing clause... they sare saying thats just to let him no... lot, they are trying to act clever....

Suarez is really pissed off with them, and may sue them... They should let him go, 40 millions is good enough, they can get another good striker and save some of the money.


For those criticising arsenal, they are on the move

i personally am not raelly fan of Arsenal, but if i was to say 2 clubs in BPL i like the most it would be definitely Arsenal and Swansea, but as "fan" of Arsenal, i don't really want Suarez to be there, i mean, yeah, he is probably 1 of the TOP strikers on the world, but i just don'T want him to be a Gunner

If Suarez goes to Arsenal I would lose any little respect I had for the guy. Liverpool supported him through all those controversies and so did the fans. I think he owes them one more season as Gerrard says but its pretty clear that he wants to leave. Wenger is doing his usual thing of not upping the bid but this time it may pay off. I really wanted them to sign Higuain. I was kinda depressed that he went Napoli.

Pre-Season Match;

Chelsea 1 - 3 Real Madrid (16 Ramires, 14 Marcelo, 31 & 58 I believe Ronaldo).

The game I've been waiting for ever since Chelsea joined my favorite three clubs in 05, two years after Real. Although only a friendly, it was still quite some fun. Even had a uninvited guest who ran over to Ronaldo in the 2nd Half. Ronaldo acted professional and just talked to him, giving him a hug and all until he was escorted away, haha =p

I'm definitely not the biggest fan of CR7, but this taunt towards Mou is just priceless. I was talking to my neighbour before the kickoff, he told me if CR scores he'll look at Mou and taunt him.

Hehe, Marcelo kind off did the same thing :p Although only a friendly, it was sure a great match :D First time in a long time that I've cheered on both teams on the pitch xD Must admit though, that I was hoping for Real to win this time.

Goals and Highlights;

he was there for 1.5 years i think, and i think he did whatever he could for the team, i am not surprised he wants to leave for CL
