If I'm note mistaken we had a 8m bid and we weren't going to go higher than that, Spurs came and offerred 12m so our bid was never accepted in the first place.
Thats if I remember correctly.
Gareth Bale is...The most expensive player ever?!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
If I'm note mistaken we had a 8m bid and we weren't going to go higher than that, Spurs came and offerred 12m so our bid was never accepted in the first place.

The Spurs bid for Bale that was originally accepted was for 10m: an initial 5m plus a possible 5m of future add-ons.
But then S'hampton ran into further financial trouble and so later accepted less than an extra 5m of possible add-ons in favour of receiving some unspecified sum immediately, all tied with a deal that took a young Spurs GK called Tommy Forecast to S'hampton for (according to the Mirror) 200k.
So I'm guessing Spurs ended up paying around 9m - i.e. 1m less than the original 5 + 5.
Gareth Bale is...
a season or so from becoming a Manchester united player. Spuds have been good for him, but the next logical step beckons. Spurs are always going to be a 2nd tier team, and he's showing the qualities of being a top tier player.

Well, this is where the IF comes in, if Spurs fail to qualify for Europe, Bale with his talents wouldn't want to be playing for just the FA and Carling cup, to fulfill his potetial, he has to be playing in Europe year in and year out which hopefully Spurs can manage...
Probably because that never actually happened.
EDIT - fecking hell.
fecking playing a blinder tonight. Unreal strikes from him.
He is a beast!
scorcher of a left foot!
just fecking sign him.
We really should sign this lad.
Damn!
His first and second goals, especially first
I don't give a shit if it costs 30million. Get Bale at Old Trafford.
Somethings wrong here...why are we always going after Spurs players?
Can anyone upload a vid of teh hat trick? Tah.
Like we can get him just like that.
It would cost you significantly more than that ... and you can't afford it.
He'll go to City or Madrid in the next 12 months.
Jesus, Pob was always a special talent but he really is becoming quite a player. Everyone is going to want him now after that.
Hurts to say it but we have got no chance in signing him unless he wants to go to United above all overs when the offers roll in, which they will before too long. If he was in Spain or Italy playing like that then he'd be a big signing, a FM one and we're just not going to get players like that right now. Real Madrid, Barce, City, all have first dibs over us, if they can fit him in. Chelsea probably too.
Spurs have a couple of handy players on their hands who we'd make better us of right now IMO. Shame its dreamland.

Exactly. Spurs got 30 million out of us for Berbatov. I'm sure Bale would cost closer 40-50 million especially since he seems to be getting better and better. Its a shame we missed out on him initially because he would instantly solve our left midfield problems.
We could offer them Rooney for a player exchange? Anyone catching?
Rooney plus Cash for Bale. It's on. Giggs needs to have a little talk with Bale
As weird as it sounds, apart from his goals he was pretty pedestrian tonight.
oh how i hate that
Just watched the goals. Pure class. 1st and 2nd goal, you can't tell apart
What a hat-trick! Spurs is my new favourite non-Manchester United team in Champions League

Those first two goals were brilliant, he's turned into quite a player
His left-foot is insane.
Summer warchest. You know it
How old is he again? Selling Ronnie for 80million and buying Bale for 40-45million would be pretty decent business... at this point. Perhaps we shouldn't wait for Summer?
He'll be in a United shirt next season.
We really should just jizz everything we get for Rooney on him.
I'm willing to bet you that he won't.
Im willing to bet he wont be in a spurs one come August 14th 2011.
Wales produce some cracking left sided players
Shame they neglect 10 other positions mind.
Tell that to John Charles, Ian Rush, Mark Hughes, Neville Southall etc.
Bale is a top player though, would love him at United.
If Spurs don't get into the top 4 I think he'll leave. Unfortunately it won't be to join us though.
Having said that though, if we've only got enough cash for 1 big player in the Summer, it really will need to be a central midfield player.
