Getting slightly miffed at the constant questioning of whether Bale is to stay with us, I know this is football and contracts mean nothing when the money hits the table, but it seems disingenuous for a press pack who were sticking the knife into AVB and his management style, use of language and how much it hurt to be sacked by Chelsea, to now move swiftly from AVB better than we thought, to Bale who can we sell him on to.
No club wants to sell their best players, if we make it to the CL, I'm pretty sure Bale will stay, if our progression carries on, and we start looking like credible challengers for the league I think he'll stay, but the press need to check themselves, with the constant Madrid are offering big money for him, and the constant regurgitations of players and managers comparing him to Ronaldo.
He's good, but there's still space for him to grow, become more consistent, more effective, and there's no reason why he shouldn't/couldn't do that with the mighty spurs, if we continue our progress into the rarefied air of the top 4.
The only way we are going to be able to keep our best players is to offer them bigger wages, but that only comes from earning more matchday revenue, which comes from having a bigger stadium, which is still in limbo...
I'll be sorry to see Bale go, when he does go, but I think that won't be for a few seasons yet, and I'd hope he'd go over to europe rather than play over here for Utd or City or Chelsea. But it all comes down to money and I'd rather the press stopped getting their knickers in a twist of a will they won't they variety before the season's even finished about a player that is still under contract and has expressed no desire to leave...
