Thank Fcuk for that

Why do we have a thread about a Real Madrid player when it's a Tottenham Hotspur forum?














(I've been waiting three months to use that)

Full statement from Website http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/club-announcement-010913/
"
The Club can announce that it has reached agreement with Real Madrid for the transfer of Gareth Bale. Gareth joined from Southampton in May 2007 and during his six years with the Club made 203 appearances, scoring 55 goals
Chairman, Daniel Levy commented, "Gareth was a player we had absolutely no intention of selling as we look to build for the future. He is a player whose career we have fostered and developed and he was only a year into his new four year contract.
Such has been the attention from Real Madrid and so great is Gareth's desire to join them, that we have taken the view that the player will not be sufficiently committed to our campaign in the current season.
We have, therefore, with great reluctance, agreed to this sale and do so in the knowledge that we have an exceptionally strong squad to which we have added no fewer than seven top internationals. More importantly, we have an immense team spirit and a dressing room that is hungry for success.
We wish Gareth all the best in the future and he shall always be welcome at the Lane."

Surprised at this dig " we have taken the view that the player will not be sufficiently committed to our campaign in the current season"

Glad its over...

Gareth Bale officially joins Real Madrid. At last. I'm told this is, despite what Real may say, a world record deal. £86m

Gareth Bale statement:

"I have had six very happy years at Tottenham but it's the right time to say goodbye. We've had some special times together over the years and I've loved every minute of it.

“I would like to thank everyone at the Club, the Chairman, Board, staff, coaches and players – and most of all the fantastic fans who I hope will understand this amazing career opportunity.

“I am not sure there is ever a good time to leave a club where I felt settled and was playing the best football of my career to date. I know many players talk of their desire to join the club of their boyhood dreams, but I can honestly say, this is my dream come true.

“I am well aware that I would not be at the level I am today were it not for firstly Southampton and then Spurs standing by me during some of the tougher times and affording me the environment and support they have.

“Tottenham will always be in my heart and I’m sure that this season will be a successful one for them. I am now looking forward to the next exciting chapter in my life, playing football for Real Madrid."

85.3 million pounds. Great deal for us

An 853% ROI - if only I could have invested in Bale!

Tenner says he flops. Not that I wish it, its just that most of his greatness lay in his humility. Well that's gone.

Shame to see him go but would be madness to turn down that price. The shenanigans of last week aside, he dealt with the whole transfer saga with an unusual (compared to others) degree of class. Thanks for the goals and the memories and hopefully he won't flop in Madrid.

Who would have thunk it back during the days of the 'Gareth Bale Curse' eh?

Bales agent says negotiations started 110 days ago.

I hope he doesn't but if i could put money on it I'd have a few quid on him being good but not great and they'll turn on him then he'll be with united/Chelsea in 18 to 24 months.

I genuinely hope he goes on and wins it all though

markesmith

I'll always love that kid. He raised us a level, and I wish him all the best.

SuprSi

There were rumours that Levy was trying to insert a clause into the contract that would mean Spurs get £10m if he's sold to a PL club within the next 4 years

Good Luck to him, hope he does well.
