I hardly doubt that.
I've several times pleaded for us to be in the market for Gareth Bale but truth to be said he hasn't exactly excelled in the Prem so far. I still reckon there's enough potential there to be explored mind and I'd bite Spurs hand off if they offered a straight swap. I'd even be tempted to throw in a few millions too.
Bale's got the potential. Dossena's probably had his chance.

Don't rate either but would rather have the £5m+ and Bale so money can be spent elsewhere. Hopefully neither would be playing if others stay fit but need cover

To be honest I wouldn't do that, rather take it on loan and take the cash. Maybe insert a set fee incase he ends up playin and do well but doubt it.

Hmmm, Bales curse vs Dossena hopeless inability to defend.
Why walk in between a rock and hard place?
Insua's our LB with potential. I'm all for bringing in another LB on the cheap, but it would be better if they were experienced.

Replace Dossena with Bale??
Has the world (or poster) gone mad? I'd rather play Agger at LB.

My point was that there is no real difference between them so if it is possible to free up funds of possibly more than five million for improvements elsewhere lets do it, slightly more important than our 3rd choice left back position. Is it really that hard to understand?! :🙂

Let's hope so, but we can probably forget about Juve buying him as they're now after Grosso (this from my Maltese cousin, who's a Juve fan).

Juve apperantly has doubts about Grosso because of his age, but he could be 39 and still be better than Dossy.

It had been reported that since Aurelio got injured it may force us not to cash in on Dossena. With Bale supposedly going out on loan, wouldn't it make sense to be in the running and gently put the italian in a canon?
[/quote]
It's not a bad suggestion, but to be honest I'd rather write off the £5m from the Arbeloa transfer and keep him, as he can cover both full-back positions.
If we need to sell both Arbeloa AND Dossena, however, then yes, some kind of freebie loan deal would be good. The problem with Bale is that he's often injured and not very good defensively.
I still have a feeling we might end up with Heinze.

I think we need rid of Dossena either way. He's useless so what's the point in relying upon him? Arbeloa can cover for Aurelio till he's back.
If we do end up selling Arbeloa to Madrid, perhaps we can ask for Miguel Torres on loan. He looked good a couple seasons ago when he was getting games for them.

[/quote]Yeah, we may as well keep Arbe though for the 3m euro on offer. Either way im not concerned, Insua will do at least a passable job against the dross, Carra can cover if needs be, and there must be a youth who can cover. I refuse to get angsty about left back. We'll be fine, it wasnt our defence that cost us last year. It was those park the bus motherfuckers.

Looks like he may be staying a while......
Aurelio is out, depending on what paper is quoted, anywhere from 2-6 months.
Here's a quick solution though - Ebola can play LB ...

Putting aside the fact that Bale is shit for a moment why would Spurs even loan to us? Surely they'd rather loan him somewhere he can get more playing time at and at least try develop a bit.
I do agree with your basic idea though but there are better options than Bale like signing a cheapish/free experienced player who is actually a decent defender. That way we can save some money and improve the squad at the same time, hooray!

Breaking news thingy on BBC website says Fabio's out for a 'maximum of two months'. If that's true, we'll cope. Sell Dossena now!
Buchtmann, Agger, Arbeloa, Insua, Mavinga, Aurelio, Gerrard, Riera are all better than fucking Dossena at left back.
Apparently the N'Gog/Plessis of this summer is a left-back so there's cover for Insua while Aurelio is crocked.. Bye Doss!

I'd sack him off to any sucker who offered over £3M
His value isn't going to improve. Not here. Probably not anywhere.
Because he's fucking shite.
