Madrid have offered Spurs four players as potential makeweights in a deal to buy Bale – Pepe, Marcello, Gonzalo Higuain and Angel di Maria.

Bale is class but i'd snap Higuain or Di Maria up any day for Bale. I'm a spurs fan myself but my gut is telling me Bale isn't going to perform no were near as good as he did this season next season. I reckon Madrid will buy him but let him waste away on the bench. Wouldn't bloody surprise me. Thoughts?
Things could seriously change for spurs
That is some offer! I could see him going to united, not madrid
they're not worth bale if you ask me
I doubt madrid would let marcelo go :O
Pepe is a good CB, but is pretty dirty and is getting on
Hasn't di maria had a very poor season?
And I'm pretty sure higuain was born offside (for madrid anyway)
IMO just take cash
thought he was a champ this season, excluding his bad case of weak footQuote:

i'd rather see all of them at the bernabeu next season than bale if im honest, if anything a new full back to replace arbeloa should be priority
If http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk is anything to go by Gareth Bale is worth £37,000,000 whilst the four offered are worth a total of £121,000,000. I believe transfermarkt are a little eccentric with player values, but even so, half of the player worth of the four is worth more than Gareth Bale. That's not good business for Madrid in my eyes but then again report comes from the Daily Star so it more than likely hasn't got any weight to it.
I'd take the deal then sell the players asap
Then use the cash to buy some cheaper but more worth-while players
Bale probably won't improve at Tottenham, but I don't think he'll go to Madrid. What Madrid have done is offered 4 average players for 1 world class player, not worth selling him.
not sure if seriousQuote:

Pepe is dirty but a good CB. He's 30 but thats not too bad for a CB
Di Maria's season hasn't been as good as his last but he's still a great player, and again is only 25
Higuain on his day is amazing, there's a reason chelsea chased him all of last summer :o. Again, just 25.
None of the players are as good as bale but they're in no way average..
and @Describe; Bale is easily worth £50m!
You're right actually, if Lucas is worth £45m then Bale is worth much more than him!Quote:

IMO Bale would sell quite easily for £50m this summer.
I didn't mean average but I wouldn't put them anywhere near Bale, talent-wise.
well of course not, which is presumably why madrid would offer 1 or 2 + cash :PQuote:

Lucas is a magnificent player.
But Bale is better..Quote:

You're right, Lucas is 3 years younger and his future is very bright but when speaking about the present you must consider Bale better than Lucas Moura.Quote:

..give or take on some of the dates being 3 years, still pretty good for a nobody though right?Quote:
On 20 October 2010, Bale scored his first senior hat trick against European Champions Inter at the San Siro in the Champions League.

Jesus Christ was that 3 years ago against Milan? Jeeeeeeeeez.
