Rumour being thrown around at the moment is that we are going in with a third bid for Cesc...It's going on too long now, it's a joke.

Bale has told AVB he wants to go to Real. Hardly surprising

From a Spurs fan point of view, the whole Bale thing has been completely blown out of the water by the sale of Steven Caulker.
I'm astonished, as are all Spurs fans I know, one of the most ridiculous transfers ever, can't understand the players decision either unless he's been told he's not wanted.
One year ago, Levy & AVB were almost willing to drive Michael Dawson to QPR to get rid of him, now we're going to start the season with him as our only fit centre back.

The £85 million World Record Bale thing has been blown out the water by selling an £8 million defender with potential

In terms of poor business, of course.
Getting good money for a player who wants to go due to a once in a life time opportunity is one thing
Selling an English, homegrown, potential captain, to a promoted club is just stupid. Especially, after persisting with him through youth teams, loaning him out through the leagues etc. There's no logic in this one.

Poor business or good business it is a ripple in the water. Bale to Madrid is a nuclear bomb.

The caulker transfer is definitely a weird one, as you said after they'd done everything the sensible way, loaning him out etc, he looked good last year too. Very strange

Cardiff are looking promising tbh. Caulker is a good, young CB.

I hear they are banning the phrase "you play like Bebe" at Manchester United

Iv not checked these stats so don't go mental at me if they are wrong but Walcott scored one less goal and got ten more assists than bale last season. 85m?

This is absolutely true.
But obviously because Bale scored some from distance he's worth £85m. 
Tbh i'd rather have the 10 more assists and CL football than long range goals at the death and no CL football.

Makes Bale look even more overpriced than I thought. Wonder if Ronaldo will be pissed off if Real sign someone more expensive than him?

He'll probably be pissed they've signed a pale imitation of himself for more money you would imagine.
He's just not worth it.

So supposedly Spurs had a Romanian guy lined up to replace Caulker but their chairman, who's in jail, stopped the move.
According to Dan Kelly on TS

Two very similar signings for ManC & Spurs
Fernandinho (£34m) & Negredo (£28m)
Paulinho (£17m) & Soldado (£26m)
Be interesting to see which deals work out better

Hopefully. If Lennon, Chadli, Dembele can supply the ammo!
