Peluso sucks, and Pirlo is clearly past his best and should be sold, or let go on a free transfer if needs be.
You guys still need to play two other games if I'm correctly.

Don't we have to play a losers' game or something? I don't understand this tournament.

AC Milan finishing in this competition above Juve confirmed.
I like the format of this competition. Every team plays 3 game but who plays who is decided by the results of the previous rounds. The winners play the winners and the losers play the losers until the ultimate winner and the ultimate loser is decided.

"Is he [Bale] worth £100m? Who can tell? Who can tell what something is worth? Everything is worth what one club, one person, one company, is willing to pay. It's like buying a house," said Laudrup.
Some journalist here got the quote wrong and have cited Laudrup for saying: "It's like buying a horse"

FINALLY, after what seems like an endless few weeks without competitive footy, the mighty Swans begin their Euro assault against Malmo tonight. Gonna be tough but I see no reason why we can't grab a goal or two, though keeping a clean sheet will be more important. Had a very good pre-season and am feeling very positive about the season ahead.
12 hours to go!!

Translating is hard.
Bale is going isn't he
I'm sure AVB will buy a good player to replace him, but I'm still sad. I guess this is Levy's punishment for his sloppy transfer dealing last summer, if he'd done it properly we'd have finished 4th. He knows that now but it's a damn shame it's cost us our best player. We basically are selling Bale because we drew with Norwich.
If he does go then I wish him all the best personally but I wish the worst luck in the world on Real Madrid. They are a dangerous combination of zero class and a stupid president, the way they conduct themselves is a disgrace.

Fixed.
I don't know. But something changed in Bale ~10 days ago when this story suddenly exploded. Before we went to Hong Kong AVB said he wasn't for sale at any price. Then Madrid did something and that all changed. I think 2 weeks ago most people thought Bale would still be here this season.
I hope we try and get Lamela from Roma, he would be by first choice replacement.

No word from Bale, no word from AVB, no word from Levy.
Only speculaion of Madrid making a bid and they seem to have made around 15 different bids, £85m, £86m, £60m plus players, £86m plus Moratta.
Until something official comes from Spurs, i fail to believe anything is happening, im sure it will happen but i think Madrid are trying to low ball Levy and he will not like it. Hes got a price, hes got years left, lets see how it plays.

Laudrup just has to play Vorm, then all will be fine.

Bale going to Real Madrid means we're getting Ronaldo.
The lack of comment from the club is exactly why I think it will happen.
Chelsea bid for Rooney ---> United quickly say he's not for sale.
Arsenal bid for Suarez ----> Liverpool quickly say he's not for sale.
Chelsea bid for Modric ----> Tottenham quickly say he's not for sale
Madrid bid for Bale ---> Tottenham say absolutely fuck all
We said the same thing when we sold Ronaldo. Unfortunately players like that don't tend to have "good replacements"

On the other hand, the exposure the club and Bale are getting at the moment is through the roof, which would please both parties. As Madrid keep saying, they have a special relationship with us, I think they'll hold off until next summer.
What happens to Bale advertising Lucozade, BT Sport, Fifa? All three are because he is a Premier League player. Or all the other premier league advertisement he is doing. I just think there is a lot more to this story than simply if Madrid want him they can have him.

Pretty insane that this whole Bale thing comes from Neymar. If he had picked Madrid instead of Barca then Bale would be staying at Tottenham 100%.
It's strange because Bale is better than Neymar.
That stuff doesn't mean anything. None of that stops him moving to Madrid.

I don't really see it that way, Wooden said it earlier too. Some reporter probably asked Xavi "What are your thoughts on Bale? Do you believe he is worth the rumoured 140million euros?" And he replies with that.
Xavi is always honest, that's all.

I'm pretty sure it will provide complications and Bales side having to pay compensation. I mean he's the front of BT Sports launch with the Premier League, a pretty huge deal. Same with Fifa, when was the last time Fifa had a non PL player on it in the UK?
This is why I think this deal will take either a long time or end up being postponed until next season, a lot is going on other than just Madrid wanting a player.
