Gareth Bale as I see it

There has been a lot writen already about the rights and wrongs of the ongoing contract talks, this is my view of the situation. We both need each other!
Spurs need GB for two reasons, firstly in our transfer dealings this year we need stars to attract stars, secondly in our quest for champions league qualification, we obviously need the best team we can get.
GB needs Spurs for several reasons also. He is probably an ambitious man, who wants a successful career (trophies etc), but I also think he is a very level headed guy, and also a true family man, after all he likes to go back to Wales to see family once or twice a week, something that will probably not be as possible from Madrid. This alone may be the reason he doesnt seem to be making to many noises about leaving at this time.
How does he need us? well if leaving at this stage is not what he or his family wants, undoubtedly at some stage in the future he will want to prove himself on the world stage so he has to continue to play at or beyond his current level to maintain interest, and having better players alongside him at Spurs will help him do this.
If he has expressed a wish to management that he wants to leave, he will probably have been told that he wont be going anywhere this summer, but if the right bid comes in next year he will allowed to go, so the comment about playing levels still holds true, as he wont want to be seen as a one season wonder, because a bid may not come in at all, or it may be so low that DL knocks it back anyway, and he doesnt get his `dream' move, whereas a season in which he plays a starring role in helping us to CL qualification, and/or a trophy will help to propel both him and Spurs to the next level and guarantee the right bid is made.
Overall I think that the offer of a big new contract is the right move, it protects both us and GB, in terms of his sell on value, and his worth to Spurs as a man.
By the way I dont see ManU as an option for him, because I think he knows already that DL wont entertain a bid from them, unless it was totally stratospheric!
