Hi, its me..
Gareth Bale is 'furious and frustrated' at Tottenham's handling of his proposed transfer and will not attend training today, Sky sources understand.
The Wales international was expected to meet up with his Spurs team-mates but he did not turn up and is unhappy with how the club are dealing with the situation.

What exactly is this "Basic football rule " that no one heard of before ? ... do you have a different football rule over there ?
Just to prove the false hypothesis of your post concerning marketing / success... just check how many trophies we won in the last 10 years compared to Barcelona and how much money we made also compared to Barcelona (who were the most successful team in the last 10 years 2003-2013)
Than you will know what seriously is stupid , FYI Inter was treble winner and i guess let's all agree that this is the ultimate success right ? how much money was made beyond the prize money ?
Financially & sporting wise the galactico model is not absurd it was extremely successful, what wasn't successful (because i know people throw in headline tags without knowing what the hell they are talking about ) was the "Zidane's Y Pavon"s " simply because while the "Idea " was great the level of Pavon's was far in terms of skill than the Zidanes
So you have the crap of Pavon , Mejia , Raul Bravo covering for Zidane , Figo , Ronaldo...
if your Pavon's (youth team prospect in a given time frame ) are great ... let's say Barcelona youth in the last 10 years and you add Ronaldinho , Deco , Villa, Alves etc than the model can work
It has nothing to do with buying galacticos because (and here is your basic football rule of the day ) with proper/half decent marketing team those players cover for their cost with ease
Neymar is a galactico so is Bale , Goetze , Cavani etc .. those make people follow X or Y team... i can tell you many people started to follow PSG not because it was bought by the Qatari royal family but the presence of Zlatan , Thiago Silva etc not for Chantome , Sakho .. same for City
Neymar will succeed or Bale ? has so many factors from team mates to adaption... you talk about Ronaldo & Bale forgetting Messi with Villa & Zlatan ? i posted a picture sadly it was put in the troll quarantine thread...(Tight mods
) it's basically Dinho , Eto'o , Zlatan , Villa's head on wall and Messi is cleaning up his next wall trophy that has Neymar name on it .. a lot can happen .. while Neymar will have to adapt to Europe , la liga and the way Barca play at least Bale already know Europe and how the game is played in the CL so he need to adapt to Real & la liga only...Neymar will succeed or Bale ? has so many factors from team mates to adaption... you talk about Ronaldo & Bale forgetting Messi with Villa & Zlatan ? i posted a picture sadly it was put in the troll quarantine thread...(Tight mods
Still, Neymar has had the whole preseason to adapt to Barca, the Liga, to Martino and to the fact that he's no longer his team's main attacking force. Bale still has it ahead of him, with the enormous pricetag putting more pressure on him than there ever was on Neymar. And he has much less time for that, given that it's already the third week in La Liga and Ancelotti won't have as much time to "ease him in" as Martino did with Neymar.
Regarding Neymar/Messi parnership, both are playing on their preferred position, which is a huge advantage compared with the Zlatan situation. Bale would have to play out of position. Also, Neymar is freaking 21 years old and isn't as much of a fixed and finished football personality yet as Zlatan, Villa or Ronaldinho were. He's much more influenceable still.
Then there's this problem that one of the RM players will have to get the short end of the stick to make place for Bale, while Neymar is more or less an upgraded, better substitute for departing Villa.
Anyways... my point is, Neymar definitely has an advantage pressure-wise. I don't really care if Bale fails or not, or, to put it better, I don't want him to fail. I don't doubt that he will be a success sooner or later either. But I do suspect this deal will make things easier for Neymar a bit.
Speaking of which, I thought the deal was going to be announced today?

No, I don't dislike the man, I just think he can be an idiot sometimes. He's done a tremendous job for RM financially, I just wish he'd do the same football-wise.
I was quite happy with him this summer tbh. He bought great players, promised to renew Ronaldo, brought in Carlo who promised great football. But this is turning into idiocy, this Bale pursuit.

These types of situations, where players get furious with their teams for not wanting to sell them etc, is very pathetic according to me. The players (Bale this time) have signed contracts with the clubs, puting pen to paper that they stay loyal to the clubs, and do their job. Getting angry because the clubs don't want to part ways is just so low imo.

Yes, but he, the same as Modrić btw, has been promised something. I understand why they don't want to let him go, but he has a right to be upset. They didn't qualify for CL plus they were offered a crazy sum for Bale. When you have 100 mil on the table for a player such as Bale, YOU TAKE IT. Levy is being way too stingy.
That's not to say I still don't want him here. But Levy isn't doing us a favor (nor should he) and he's certainly making life difficult for Bale.
Ah it's a completely useless soap opera...
