Bale Not Going Anywhere
As we reported a couple of weeks ago, it looks very much like Tottenham’s simian super star, Gareth Bale, is staying at Spurs. He’s been the subject of much lusting, winking and fairly blatant tapping up by Real Madrid for God knows how long.
It was expected to rumble on all summer but quotes this week from Andre Villas-Boas look to have put a lid on that. This week he told Spanish paper Marca, “We have the pledge of the chairman that Bale is not going to leave the club”, meaning Daniel Levy has stopped mulling over just quite how many bazillions he can extract out of Florentino Perez.
Levy – having sold Dimitar Berbatov, Luka Modric and Rafael Van der Vaart in recent summers – had promised to hold onto key players this year and seems to be sticking to his word.
