Yorkie Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 The Ronaldo fee at the time was ridiculous, the Kaka fee at the time was ridiculous, but this is out of this world. They're paying twice what he is worth. It's unbelievable. It's a barbaric amount of money but they're paying what it's cost to buy him. Bale's the sort of player who could give Spurs a genuine shot at the title - it was in their best interests to keep him. If he were to leave, they would need massive investment to keep them in the title race. The fee they've received allows that. He's got shitloads of money to replace Bale but it's a huge test for Villas-Boas. I really wonder who they're going to sign. As if Willian's gone to Chelsea, for goodness sake. What a rancid club.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 According to Sky Italia the Lamela deal is practically done so that would one part of the replace Bale puzzle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Levy must be laughing his tits off here. So it's going to be Bale out and Paulinho, Soldado, Chadli, Capoue and Lamela in. As good as Bale is, that's incredible business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I think Lamela has the potential to be world class. It's not really that though, they've strengthened the team as a whole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as Bale is, that's incredible business. Are any of them anywhere near as good as Bale? They're a lot better off as a team and Lamela has the potential to be just as good if not better.

As good as Bale is, that's incredible business. Are any of them anywhere near as good as Bale? Hard to compare tbf..... Capoue is a DM, Soldado is a poacher with excellent movement, Paulinho is a Lampard like midfielder, Chadli i don't know much about but looks a tricky winger. Lamela is the one who is most comparable to Bale..... Tall, fast, tricky, scores goals and has an extremely high potential ceiling scoring 15 goals in Serie A last year at the age of 21 from the right wing. Honestly i think Lamela has the potential to be better than Bale although he's not there yet, but when you add him along with all the others they have signed plus with maybe more to come i would say they are a better overall team now.

Froggy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I love how our name was thrown in there though. I'm with Dave on this one and think Levy is making it up. As much as Bale would improve us, we would never pay that for a player, not even Ronaldo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I still don't think Real Madrid are in need of Bale and this is more about that arsehole Perez throwing his weight about. Ronaldo - Ozil - Isco behind a striker is pretty much pure footballing porn. Or is there truth behind the fact that Ancelotti doesn't rate Ur-Zeeeeel and wants Ronaldo to play further up?

Froggy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 You'd have to think someone is going to have to go too. Alonso, Ozil, Isco, Ronaldo, Modric, Illarramendi, Di Maria, Kaka, Khedira and now Bale? I'd be all over Modric if he was available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt Modric will be let go because Alonso is out for 3 months they can't afford to let Modric go with Alonso in a cast. Spanish media were linking you lot with Ozil though and Di Maria seems on borrowed time as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ozil is a class player but I don't think we need him since we have Kagawa. What other centre midfielders do people think are actually available? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ancelotti has been using a 4-2-2-2 with Ronaldo pretty much playing upfront behind Benzema, and Isco and Özil behind him. Bale would replace one of those, supposedly Isco (both play on the left side) who so far has been brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakie Doke Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'd wager that we'd be in for Di Maria if he wasn't so unFrench. He's the most unFrench man in football today, apart from maybe Jason Culina. It depends how you're measuring Frenchness, if it's by their ability to have been born in France, then those two definitely fall short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
