To some people claiming that Bale can cost the same or bigger money on summer 2014: remember that when (if) he leaves Spurs next year, he will have one season shorter prospect of top skill play in any team that decides to bid for him, so this will be a factor that might outweight any improvement of performance he will show during upcoming season.

I'd say that 60 million offer + Di Maria already looked tempting - you bring immediate replacement for Bale and spend cash on Soldado (who's very underrated) or perhaps, as the rumours say, Adem Ljajić.

I'm kinda new to soccer so I was wondering...how do teams like Tottenham ever get to the top?

Like, everytime a talent appears on the team, a team such as Real Madrid or Barcelona just sends in a monstrous money offer that the player is inclined to accept because its every soccer player's dream to play for big giants. And when you get offered tons of money to do so, you, as a player, will always want the transfer and it will almost always be guaranteed.

Essentially, this creates a cycle. Tottenham finally get a good player that can get them to the Champions League, Barcelona or Real Madrid just buy it off of them. Tottenham's dreams are ruined.

Di Maria's camp made it very clear (via Marca) that he has no interest in going to Tottenham, even if it means sitting on the bench next season, so that rumor is bogus.

1) Have a rich sheik or oligarch buy your club
2) Sign the biggest players in the world for ridiculous amounts of money.
3) ?????

Dormund could be an example too. almost bankrupt a couple of years ago and going to the CL final last season without a rich guy. We will see if they are able to break into the top 10 on a longer timescale.

I don't get why RM are willing to spend such a fortune on Bale. Sure, he's talented, he's got the looks, and he's had a very good season, but he's just not as marketable nor proven as Ronaldo was when they bought him. So what's this absurd talk of forking over 100m+ euros for Bale? It's beyond ridiculous. Perhaps Perez should be reminded that his galactico policy has only yielded one CL title (which was over 10 years ago), and a few league titles here and there. Just imagine all that money being spent on their youth program.

Filip Đuričić, remember his name. He'll be in a 40+M€ transfer in a year or two. Fantastic talent.

Agree Telcontar, I've actually been arguing about that as well. Sure Bale is an amazing player, but Madrid are going through far greater lengths than they should for him. Madrid don't even need to spend much on their youth program, because their youth program is already fantastic. They just need to keep their players and not sell them off almost immediately without giving them a proper chance. If Morata is off to Tottenham, that's another talented player gone.

Anyway I'm not even sure if Perez is all that interested in winning stuff and is possibly more interested in boosting the brand "Real Madrid". If you look at the most successful teams across all nations, the most successful teams are teams with home trained talent with a couple of key signings in the mix.

It's not that easy.... I'd say it's ~35m.
Subtract 10m if the player is playing outside of Spain, England, Italy
Add 15m if he's under 25
Add 5m for every week without a new contract
Add 10m if he is in some way connected with Real or Barca
Add 200m if he's Messi
