David Gill has approached Spurs chairman Daniel Levy about a deal for the 23-year-old, with the north London outfit hoping to tie the Welshman down to a new five-year contract.
In today's transfer market I am not at all surprised by this. But considering Madrid paid ~35m for Modric, 70m for Bale seems right given that he scores three times what Modric did from midfield.
It's what I've been saying all along. He's a very good player, but never £70m and IMO never will be. Not a penny more than £40m, and that's pushing it.
70 million for Bale.
sheesh, talk about over-hyped and over-priced.

Well, if Liverpool paid 35 million for Carroll, I'd say they'd be happy paying 1.2 billion for Bale.
