Its a tough one. Bale is one of the top five players in the world and he can, and did, when games on his own. But then you are being offered £60 million for him. You cannot sell him, as you will never replace him, but then you cannot turn that kind of scratch down.

Hilarious that its Spurs feeling the squeeze mind. I wonder after he goes whether pundits will queue up to say they are a selling club, as you know they were with us.

Have to say, I hate Spurs, I hate their fans, and I hate most of their players. Gareth Bale also has one of the most punchable faces in world football.

Having said all that, I can't remember the last time one player scored as many truly magnificent goals as he did last season.

He's without a doubt one of the best players in Europe of late, and anyone, let alone Spurs, would find it very hard to replace someone like that, even with 65m to spend.

I wonder if Real's interest will force Manchester United's hand?  £50m + Ashley Young wouldn't be a bad opening offer.

Thank for the clip and didn't realise how good is Gareth Bale. He should be at Villa Park :( as we had Southgate, Barry, Farrelly, Williams in the past. It will be interesting to see Ronaldo and Bale playing together.

Bale has everything you'd want in a top footballer. He's not as good as Ronaldo, but not a million miles behind. He can take over games which only a select few players in the world can do. Spurs not getting Benteke followed by Bale leaving is a couple of massive blows. Sometimes spending money isn't that easy especially given what you are trying to replace.

Watching the three at Villa Park was painful and reminded me how poor our defence was.

Bruch Rioch could blast them accurately from distance but even he couldnt hold a light to Bale in his current form.

He is made for Real Madrid.

He is a bloody brilliant player. Very few as good at scoring goals that truly matter.

Bale is too good for Spurs. For his career he needs to move to a big club.

If I was a Spurs fan, I'd be very, very worried right now.

Somebody should find that cocksucker and tweet him that.

Spurs are bracing for the bid from Real Madrid and are in turmoil at the prospect of losing their best player.

Real Madrid are lining up a bid as we speak.
