    Here's the transcript:

    'He's available for selection as he's included in the UEFA team, but he's not available because of injury'

    Reporter: 'Has Gareth Bale played his last game for the club?'

    'No, not at that moment. The player is at a clearing session today. Hopefully if everything goes well the player will be involved and we will have other news on the player in the future'

    "'No, not at that moment. The player is at a clearing session today. Hopefully if everything goes well the player will be involved and we will have other news on the player in the future' " - sounds positive ?

    It's all up and down but I'm still convinced RM can't come up with the cash. When Utd demanded the 80m fee for Ronaldo, they struggled to raise it, several banks including Santander refused them so a Spanish bank agreed in the end. This same Spanish bank is in serious difficulty now as are all Spanish banks and Real are €600m in debt.

    I'm secretly hoping he does go, so we can get Willian, Lamela, Erikson and Contrao.

    There's no way we'd buy Willian, Lamela AND Eriksen

    What's a clearing session anyway? Haven't heard that term before.

    I for one am hoping he stays. But those players would be great if he did leave. Well one or two of them, don't see us getting three even if he does leave.

    It's a light training session for someone who's injured

    Two of those three would do nicely, with Coentrao

    Okay fair enough, thanks. Thought that would have been what he was doing, but maybe he wasn't even fit enough for that up till now.

    Seeing all this talk of willian,lamela etc makes me think that he's gone for def.
    But instead of trying to hold off madrid we are in fact doing the right thing by getting in his replacements before he actually leaves the club.
    I expect once we sign our targets then he'll be allowed to leave.
    Once again this is great business by Levy.

    Mixed ITK's today, lots saying RM have till fri to come up with 40m in cash but they've gone all quiet. Have made an offer but not gone any further on it. The club want him to go to be done with it but there's a high probability he will stay.


    I've just put a score on him staying, it's at 6:1 on Betfair

    This doesn't say much, except for we're not spending the Bale money. Though it's hard to see Bale not leaving if Willian and Lamela come in?

    Who: The Goat
    When: 21st August
    Where: SC

    The Goat is hearing that as of 9am today, there is categorically no Bale deal in place.

    As things stand today, financially, there is not likely to be one in the immediate future.







    Will Bale get his game if Lamela and Willian sign? :)

    Marca haven't printed a single word about Bale since the 17th, they've suddenly gone all quiet. I've a nice little earner if this comes off, it's now gone to 7/1 on Betfair

    I obviously really hope we keep him, because if we do, a forward trio of Bale Soldado and Willian would be great, but I just can't see it. If we sign Lamela, we'll have Bale Lamela Willian & Soldado :D uncle Joe is winding us up surely

    A few ITK's say we'll only get Lamela if Bale goes

    Reports from The Guardian transfer blog (who are more reliable than most places) are saying that Arsenal are trying to hijack the Lamela deal. Willian is pretty much done from what I'm hearing.

    I'd rather keep Bale. Hope the goons don't sneak Lamela though.

    I'm starting to think Bales head could be on the fence now.
    He could be thinking all these players are being brought in as promised and all the pressure will be off me...

    or

    I wont be the most important player in the squad anymore and am replaceable. I'm off.


    If he goes to Real he'll have a tougher job of staying in the team. Look at Modric

    I really hope we get Lamela. Honestly never heard of him until recently but I've read and watched a lot of stuff and the guy is an unbelievable prospect. He will make arsenal so much stronger if they get him.

    Couldn't agree more, but since I've heard his name I've been very interested. He's a very good replacement for Bale. It would be crushing if Arsenal got Lamela and Bale went to RM. A worrying nightmare.

    Shoddy tabloid journalism by the Irish Times. The headline reads "AVB admits Bale could leave"

    The quote: “Ideally we want to keep everyone to make us stronger — that is the ultimate objective of the club,” the Spurs manager said. “In the end, anything can happen. We are dragging ourselves into the last weeks of transfer activity and it can become very, very frantic.”

    Villas-Boas denied a deal had already been agreed with the nine-time European champions — “That is not true,” he said, but he did concede players would depart before September 2nd.

    Guillem Ballbag is a spoofer, makes a comment about everything and whenever he gets something right he lets everyone know. Bale deal looks close all right, but I guarantee he doesn't know much about it.

    Anyone else feel underwhelmed if the figure being touted is true, £79 (€93), not even breaking the transfer record. Also talk of instalments over 6 years

    99 million for one player sounds okay to me?
    And the Presidents left ball sack so Levy can wear it around his neck as a medallion.
