Shall we increase Suarez's valuation?
There is no doubt that Spurs could improve their team with 80-100 mill to spend.
But the key word is could.
They would have sign the right players and they would have to be a success. Its sounds easier than it is imho.
Every club out there will be adding 10-15 mill when you know the buying club has 100 mill to spend.
Just look at City last season, they spent 60 mill and went backwards without even improving the first team.
They're not in the CL and wont attract players of the same quality as Bale.
They were a one man team last season and will miss him regardless of the sum of money they recive imho.

The quote you're trying to get away from is "I think that's another one of football's greatest myths".
You're in for a long wait. As, I suspect, am I.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is set to make an astonishing final bid of £51m for wantaway Liverpool forward Luis Suarez according to Caught Offside.
In doing so, Arsenal would break the British transfer record when Chelsea purchased another Liverpool striker, Fernando Torres, for £50m.
Negotiations between the North London club and the Merseyside club have been tense with Arsenal bidding £40m+£1 for Suarez. For bids over £40m Suarez is to be notified of the bid and be able to negotiate with the club as stated in his contract.
It finally seems that Arsene Wenger for once will get his man with the interest from Real Madrid cooling due to the Gareth Bale saga reaching it's boiling point with a rumoured world record bid to be placed for the Welsh Wizard in the region of £85m.
Wenger has stated that Suarez is his top priority target this summer. This summer Wenger has let many players slip through his grasp, most notably Gonzalo Higuain who at one point looked a certainty to be lining up for Arsenal but has instead chose Italy in the form of Napoli.Stevan Jovetic was also a frontman that was rumoured, but a move never materialised for him either.
With a £70m warchest to spend this summer, Wenger looks to finally start making a splash in the transfer market, especially after unloading a lot of unwanted players this summer including flop Andrey Arshavin.
Will Wenger finally get his man? Only time can tell....

Haven't the club already said he won't be sold to a rival?
Stick it up your arse, Wenger.
Stick it up your arse, Wenger.
You'd accept?
true to form, oncy.
It's true, I'm totally nuts for wanting to clatter Luis and teach him the downside of disloyalty.
with the figures being thrown around for bale, 50 mill seems like nothing.
Yea, I'm now thinking about 65m.
But not to Arsenal at any price.
But not to Arsenal at any price.
we'd be very lucky to get 2 good players with 50 mill in this market.
I know where u r coming from, but I would rather have a world class play over 85% of our games rather than a good player play 100. Suarez changes games, wins games and makes football look easy. I love watching him, when is the last time a lfc player nutmegs 3 and scores, or takes down a 50 yard pass and scores within 3 touches?
This market is weird, though, really weird. There's no way prices have inflated evenly across the market. What did Jovetic go for? £22m or something? How is Bale 4 times the player he is? Or Cavani 2.5 times?
There's a huge amount of money in some areas of the market, but it's all in bubbles, it's still tied up with a small number of clubs.
And you have just said a load of bollocks.
How is/was Ronaldo's "baggage" (as you succinctly put it) in any way comparable to Suarez's?
Luis Suarez transfer will now cost Arsenal £50m-plus after he loses Liverpool contract wrangle
30 Jul 2013 22:32
Striker now accepts key clause in his deal does not mean Kop club MUST sell him if they receive an offer of over £40million
Clause for concern: Suarez won't ask the Premier League to rule on his contract
The Gunners' boss Arsene Wenger had indicated he was ready to dig in and wait to see the outcome of a contract dispute between the striker and Liverpool, after submitting a bid of £40m plus one pound - which was supposed to trigger a release clause.
Yet, in fresh talks early this week with his club, Suarez has finally conceded he will not approach the Premier League to arbitrate - because the contract clearly states the Anfield giants have no obligation to sell him at ANY price.
And with the 26-year-old under contract for another three years, manager Brendan Rodgers and the Reds' board are determined to keep him unless their valuation - thought to be around the £55m Paris Saint-Germain paid Napoli for Edinson Cavani, Suarez's Uruguay strike partner, a fortnight ago - is matched.
A source close to the club’s American owners explained on Tuesday that lawyers have examined Suarez’s contract in detail, and have concluded there is no requirement to sell in the event of a bid topping £40m, merely a commitment to inform the player of any such approach.
“We are 100 per cent confident - there is absolutely no obligation to sell and that is very clear,” the source explained.
“We’ve all examined the clause in detail. All it obliges is good faith negotiations about Luis’s future.”
Price is right? Liverpool value Suarez in the same bracket as £55m Cavani
Wenger’s problems are compounded by the fact Liverpool are determined not to sell to one of their direct rivals for the top-four place they are targeting in the coming season.
And that means Suarez has only three options if he is to get his desire to go to a club engaged in the 2013-14 Champions League - a sentiment he reiterated at a meeting with the club at the start of this week.
Option one would require Wenger to make a bid so massive it would convince Liverpool to sell - and sources within Anfield suggest that figure would have to be well beyond £50m for them to even contemplate doing business with another English club.
Option two is for Suarez to take the drastic action which Carlos Tevez attempted when he tried to force a move away from Manchester City... but the Argentine’s ‘strike’ plan backfired dramatically and he was left to rot in the reserves amid widespread global condemnation.
While Suarez has indicated to Arsenal he is prepared to agitate for a move, he has stopped short of submitting a transfer request.
Nor has he shown any appetite for the extreme course of action he pursued when he eventually engineered a switch to Ajax from fellow Dutch side Groningen.
That leaves his final option, and perhaps the only real prospect now of a route out of Anfield - a bid from a foreign club.
While Liverpool are determined to ensure any English suitors meet their massive valuation, their preferred option, if Suarez does leave, is to see him disappear from the Premier League, and they could be persuaded to reduce the fee for a team from overseas.
Real Madrid are still the striker's preferred option. And even though the Spanish giants are currently consumed with their passionate pursuit of Spurs' Gareth Bale, they have indicated there is some interest in Suarez.
If they can raise sufficient funds, Real could still bid later in the transfer window, and Liverpool would be more inclined to allow that deal to happen - especially if they are given the time to line up a suitable replacement.

especially when everyone knows we've got £50m.
Spurs have a better team/squad than ours with or without Bale, it's fucking obvious. 85M in the back pocket, if he goes and if its spent properly, will probably strengthen them further.
I'm beginning to think Suarez is going to be here next season now, purely as no-one wants him/values him at anything like we do. Who knows what attitude you'll get out of him if that happens?

i don't think i'd be happy with anything less than 70 now. he's better than cavani.
