Apparently Bale wants to talk to Real Madrid. BBC reporting that Spurs won't sell even for ?85m. If that is true, then I think Spurs are mental! ?85m?!?!?!? they could get 2 or 3 real class players for that money.


Weirdly I had a dream the other night that Spurs had sold Bale to Arsenal. I remember thinking (in the dream) that I must wind up Jah Lush! ;-)

Although its the first time since Gazza that they have had anything worth selling.

It's all bollocks. Poor reporting from journalists who are just copying what Real Madrid's mouthpiece newspaper Marca are saying. There are no quotes from Bale. Marca even had the gumption to reprint the exact same quotes that Luka Modric came out with last season and attribute them to Bale. He hasn't said he wants to leave. He's staying for one more season at least. I'm certain of that. I'm fed up with Real Madrid's tactics of trying to unsettle and tap up our player.


However, a good article here by Gabriele Marcotti - http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/mondaymusings/id/469?cc=5739

Couple of things on Higuain and the Suarez debacle. 1. most Arsenal fans knew we wouldn't get Higuain. 2. Most, in fact the vast majority, don't want Suarez. Both of these seem to gather momentum when the season ticket renewals were announced. Funny that. I find the Cesc to the Mancs far more amusing/interesting, coupled with the fact that they, like us, have not done anything in the transfer window thus far. Could it be that Moyes has no where near the pull/kudos that old whisky nose had?

I know you're (depressingly) right AM, but I do find that mentality hard to understand.


20k a year to 40k makes a hug difference.


120k a year to say, 150k can still make a significant difference.


80k a week to 120k a week. I can't see why you'd be swayed. I genuinely can't think of any way to spend money quick enough on 80k a wwek, I mean really, what would you do with it, let alone ANOTHER 40k on top of that. Unless you were saving up for a coup in a small country or something.


Or are hair implants REALLY REALLY expensive?!?!

Isn't the top rate in Spain around 50%? And even if they do pay less tax over there, he would probably still 'take home' more at Utd than he curently does at Barca. Anyway, I'm sure tax isn't that big an issue for most footballers and their creative accountants.

After engineering a move to Barca I'd be surprised if Fabregas wanted to leave so soon, but it's not like Utd to be so public about bidding for a player, so I can only presume that Fabregas has privately indicated he would move to OT. I think there will be a third and final 'take it or leave it' offer...

Not quite Gareth Bale territiory but...Celtic move to replace Hooper with Ajax's Derk Boerrigter. He will be in the squad for the champions league qualifier tonight against Elfsborg - he looks like a good signing to me for less than we sold Hooper for.


Ajax (second period)


On 14 April 2013, coming on as a substitute for Christian Poulsen in the 75th minute, Derk Boerrigter scored the match winning goal against rivals PSV Eindhoven in the 77th minute off a long assist from his teammate Christian Eriksen, in which he challenged PSV's defender Erik Pieters and then shot the ball past Boy Waterman the keeper, only two minutes after having been brought in. The match ended 2?3 for Ajax, and proved to be a crucial win for the Amsterdammers, with only four matches left to play in the season. Ajax topped the table at that stage with 66 points, leaving PSV in third place position with only 60 points in the title pursuit.[12] On 13 July 2013 Derk Boerrigter scored a hat-trick in the first half of a 1?5 win over his former club RKC Waalwijk, in a pre-season friendly encounter scoring in the 17', 21' and 28' minutes, helping his side to a 1?3 lead.[13]


Celtic


On 30 July 2013, Boerrigter signed a four-year deal with Celtic.[14]

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name.

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By Angelina · Posted

      It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.

      NIKO THE PLUMBER

      By DAVID CANNON · Posted

      I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!

      Has your child sat 4+ or 7+ assessments?

      By Mr F · Posted

      I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
