But Manchester United are eager to underline their support to new manager David Moyes by smashing the British transfer record to sign Bale.
Gareth Bale
What’s the story? It’s interesting that terms like ‘support David Moyes’ are being thrown around a lot at the moment. Never mind the fact that signing a player like Gareth Bale would help them to win the league.
Does it make sense? See above for why it doesn’t for Spurs, but it obviously does for Man United. How can signing Gareth Bale ever be a bad thing?
Is the price right? They might even have to get close to the world record. He’s probably ‘worth’ £60m. It needs to be a bit more than the likes of Cavani or Falcao because Bale is only 23 and much more overtly dangerous.
But can anyone justify paying Ronaldo type money that Spurs may want?
Will it happen? 2/10 – Time to shelve the Bale rumours until next summer.
