also what confuses me is that Spurs had a Bid accepted in January (also ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã10,000,000), Bale didnt go as we could still make the premiership at that time. During that time period he wasnt as good as that start of the season and he only had one year left on his contract. I would have expected somthing in the region of ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã4,000,000 but ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã10,000,000 is insane! Well, it won't be 10 up front, that's for sure. What it is more likely is a deal like this: 2.5m up front 2.5 over 18 months 2 after 30 internationals (almost a given) 1 for Uefa cup qualification 2 for Champions League qualification (dream on) Something like that, I'd imagine. Probably with a 15% sell-on clause too.
