In the summer of 2013 a lot of prices have been speculated as to what Real Madrid would be willing to want to pay for Gareth Bale, ranging from £60 to £110 million and them prices have had people at their wits end, trying to figure out why they want to pay that much and how Madrid see him worth that much.
Having took in them figures what Madrid are apparently willing to shell out to land Gareth Bale, most football fans jumped up and started comparing it to the fee Madrid paid to bring C.Ronaldo from Manchester United to Madrid back in '09.
I personally believe them two figures have no correlation whatsoever and there are several reasons as to why i believe that and i will explain them in further depth soon enough.
Gareth Bale near enough dragged Spurs to 5th in the Premier League on his own last season despite the rest of Tottenham's players pitching in with their own sporadic goals, it's obvious that Bale's outfield escapades dragged Spurs up the table all last season and i feel Daniel Levy is well within his right to haggle with Madrid for whatever price he feels that Bale is worth to Spurs not just on the field but as towards Bale's personal contribution to the club.
Tottenham have strengthened considerably so far in the 2013 summer transfer market with the shrewd capture of the Belgian left winger Nacer Chadli along with the capture of the tenacious box-to-box midfielder Paulinho and in the last two days, Robert Soldado from Valencia and all of them captures were exactly what i feel Spurs were missing last season to push on to a top four solid challenge or even a late title challenge however their own personal aim will fall dramatically if they lose Gareth Bale because he is just that damn good.
Is he currently worth to Tottenham in 2013, than Ronaldo was to United in 2009? I would say yes and i'll explain why.
In 2009, Manchester United had the attacking quartet of Ronaldo, Berbatov, Rooney and lastly Tevez so when Ronaldo left they had the work rate of Tevez to partly fill that void. (Notice how i kept Berbatov and work rate apart) and brought in Antonio Valencia to fill the number 7 slot on the right. Who do Tottenham currently have to take over the reigns from Bale if they were to sell him, do they have any player whatsoever in their squad that is near Gareth Bale's caliber and can carry them to Europe? I don't believe so and i believe if they sold Bale, they wouldn't finish in the top 6 WITHOUT getting at least £80 million and i'll try my best to try and break down that transfer fee right now.
If by some big miracle Gareth Bale was to better last season, this season and helped Spurs to a 3rd placed finish they would gain at least 10 million from Champions League revenue and if he left, chances are they wouldn't finish anywhere near that.
I then feel Spurs would have to put £20 million of that aside( i cannot see Daniel Levy spending 70 million in one transfer market) then using that £50 million on another top class striker to accompany Soldado up front and replace Gareth Bales goal input, another left winger and an attacking midfielder.
So in conclusion, i feel Gareth Bale is worth £80 million plus and Daniel Levy is well within his rights to try and cash in on his clubs prize asset for any bids near that price.
