Rovers13 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Surprised Dempsey has gone back to MLS...he didn't live up to expectations at Spurs, but he's still relatively young, and good enough to play for most clubs in the Premier League...and you'd think he could play for a club that would pay him more than Seattle... His salary at Seattle has been reported at $32 million over four years before tax Edit: I guess having 40000 fans a game with the option to expand to more helps.

leviramsey Posted August 4, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 4, 2013 Dempsey'll be on about 100,000 pounds a week in MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Well, at least Dempsey has been living in England so he will be use to the Seattle rain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Guessing Soldado should be confirmed soon? Edited August 4, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 4, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 4, 2013 Bale is obviously a very good player but I do think he is over rated and seriously over hyped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 It seems like usually the massive transfers are planned ages in advance and go through in June/July. This seems to be a bit panic driven / reactionary to Neymar. I don't think this will go through this summer tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Bale is obviously a very good player but I do think he is over rated and seriously over hyped. I agree, he has achieved nothing in football yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Bale is obviously a very good player but I do think he is over rated and seriously over hyped.i have to agree, also sort of get the point rogers is trying to make re the respective values of bale and Suarez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Bale is obviously a very good player but I do think he is over rated and seriously over hyped.i have to agree, also sort of get the point rogers is trying to make re the respective values of bale and Suarez I think someone should explain to Rodgers that Suarez's character cuts millions of his value. Add that to the amount of games he misses, is the reason why he won't get anywhere near the value of Bale, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Also he 2 years older than Bale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 It does. But then again I don`t think Bale is close to being worth 105 or whatever the figure is at now. But man, he is a wonderful player. So talented and fun to watch last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, he has achieved nothing in football yet. If by achieved nothing you mean his teams haven't won things, then that's a terrible argument. Teams win trophies not players.

maqroll Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Bale is obviously a very good player but I do think he is over rated and seriously over hyped. Bale is a rare type of player- power, speed, strength, finesse, and youth. He's spent the last two years demolishing opposition foreign and domestic...I think he's deserving of the accolades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Guessing Soldado should be confirmed soon? I'm surprised he hasn't already, Spurs said on their website that a fee and terms had been agreed and they were just waiting on a medical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmygreaves Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) Interesting that they can afford £26 million for an untried in the prem, 29 year old Spanish forward but didn't think Benteke was worth half that....... Edit - apparently he's 28 Edited August 4, 2013 by jimmygreaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TartarugaJones Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Remember when I said I hope the Benteke saga doesn't get nasty, that we or any other prospective buyer don't play games...? Well if you want to see game playing see the Bale saga Players, owners, management, agents all briefing friends in the media against Spurs in the cause of engineering a hostile move, a compliant, influential local rag such as doesn't exist in this country outside of Liverpool, and absolutely no offer. Not an official one. Not an unofficial one. Nothing... Edited August 5, 2013 by TartarugaJones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
