"I wouldn't think there's a slightest bit of truth in that," said Redknapp. "Not a chance I wouldn't have thought."
"If you don't then where are you going?" said the 65-year-old. "You can forget about Champions League football in the future if you don't keep your best players and add to them, never mind selling them off."
He doesn't exactly say it isn't true, just that he would have thought it isn't.
Think this was just another Barca ploy to try and unsettle the player, they did a similar thing with Fbregas via the local papers didn't they?
Harry hasnt got a facking clue is what that interview says
I'm sure Harry would know if Bale was being sold...
he might be going but not for 32 mill!!!!
Lets see if Bale tweets about this. I would like to see Levy make a formal complaint. Tapping a player up indirectly is one thing...saying that he's practiclly signed is another.
No way are tottenham selling bale for less than 60 Million, not even going to bother to read the papers etc for next few months, all the crap that people write
"Tapping a player up indirectly is one thing...saying that he's practiclly signed is another."
They didn't say it, "The Spanish media did"!!
"No way are tottenham selling bale for less than 60 Million"
If you recieved anything above £40m, it would be difficult to say no imo, you could get 2 or 3 very good players and be a lot more competitive in doing so.
We said no to 40 million for modric who is lot older than Bale and not as good so dont see your argument at all
I am just talking logically. I know what Levy is like.
How do you know what levy is like <do
Because he likes to keep hold of his assets, he doesn't sell cheap.
But from a footballing perspective, if you were offered Cisse, Kagawa and Ozil for example for a £40m transfer of Bale, you’d take it.
Bale is worth £32m....but they forgot to add the Levy Tax. @ 50%.
£48m will do it.
Bale will only be sold to a team abroad, Sunday is going to have a big bearing on what happens over the summer
Scared stiff
In fairness, judging by Bale's reaction when asked about Barca, and the constant noise, scouting and the enquiries from Barca, there is only one place he will end up.
Busby.....I'd take Ozil for Modric, not Bale. We would not want/need Modric & Ozil in the same team
Spurs turned down £40m for Modric. Bale is worth more. He's younger, he's attacking, he's fast. that sort of player is always worth more.
Was just making a point of the sorts of players who have recent made transfers/ are about too and the calabir you could buy with the transfer of Bale.
Bale is not worth more than £40m, neither is Modric, it's only because of your chairmen (I'd LOVE either at OT don't get me wrong).
Bale is the best player in his position in the world which is why Barcelona want him to their left back version of Alves, it would nearly complete the team.
They should give us a load of players and cash for him if they want him.
Abidal, Thiago, Pedro, Afellay, Adriano, Montoya and Batra and 30 million would do for him
Abidal, Thiago, Pedro, Afellay, Adriano, Montoya and Batra and 30 million would do for him and Messi
Darth Levy wont sell unless its crazy money like what Real paid for Ronaldo. He is trying to build a team that consistently gets into the CL and challenges for the PL, and selling his best players wont help that.
Bale is 22, and only going to get better and better..... and his value will increase over the next few years.
I can see Bale and Modric being given more money and longer contracts.
"Busby.....I'd take Ozil for Modric, not Bale. We would not want/need Modric & Ozil in the same team"
I'm sure Ozil would be disappointed.
"Bale is the best player in his position in the world which is why Barcelona want him to their left back version of Alves, it would nearly complete the team."
People still have these delusions of Bale being worth £40 million? He has done nothing to command such a price tag.
Let's be honest, what is the likely hood that Barca even want Bale? Most people in Spain know that Jordi Alba is their main target for left back. And you can't for one second be suggesting that they want Bale for their attack? He would be lucky to make the bench.
Barca showed against Chelsea that they need players capable of unlocking tight defences (even though they unlocked it numerous times), Bale would be ineffective for Barca as he lacks guile and creativity, and why he dissapears against any top defence or doesnt do much against teams that park the bus.
I can't believe people are buying this story.
