D-Day for Suarez From our Editorial Telesport
LONDON - Today is D-day for Luis Suarez. The star player knows today since last night that Liverpool will do to a supreme effort to remove him from Ajax. It awaits the South American striker is excited. Blocks Ajax his transfer by adhering to his eyes in an exorbitantly high price (25 million), it is no longer motivated to Suarez for his club to work.
Whether that means he is not training and playing, the next 48 hours clear. But it is a major problem where the management and technical staff at Ajax for days to hiccup. Suarez after a failed transfer negotiations on Monday (between Liverpool and Ajax) Ajax to everyone expressed that he wants to leave at all.
The player is finished with the Netherlands, due to the lengthy suspension and the tough criticism after the biting incident. The chance of a championship with Ajax is also getting smaller. If his current total of seven goals not substantially bolt on and not in the Champions League comes out, its price plummet to a messy twelve million euros.
The clubs now have not queued for Suarez and will therefore do no more than twenty million. In the league he is the star player, but abroad know trainers and clubs it is not such a big status. The management of Ajax is now a poker game with the Uruguayan as effort and the risk of a major financial mistake and sporting loss is great.

Inter to bid £40m for Gareth Bale
• £40m summer bid would be a record for a British player
• Gareth Bale also wanted by José Mourinho at Real Madrid
David Hytner

Article history

Internazionale will confirm Gareth Bale's growing reputation as the most sought-after player in world football with a £40m bid in the summer, the most that has ever been offered for a player of his age and experience.
The move, if successful, would shatter the transfer record for a British player and propel Bale to an elite within the game of which perhaps only Wayne Rooney, of home-produced contemporaries, could count himself.
That £40m sum could rise higher as the Italian champions' move is expected to spark an immediate bidding war with Real Madrid, where José Mourinho has also made the Tottenham Hotspur winger his principal summer target.
Such a move would place Bale, still only 21, among a gilded elite of expensive footballers. Only four players have ever moved for more – Ronaldo (Manchester United to Real for £80m), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Inter to Barcelona for £56.5m), Kaká (Milan to Real for £56m), Zinedine Zidane (Juventus to Real for £45m) – and all had made significantly more impact on the European stage than Bale, who 12 months ago was just cementing his place in the Tottenham first XI. The transfer record for a British player remains the £29m Manchester United paid Leeds United for Rio Ferdinand in 2002.
Massimo Moratti, the Inter president, has placed Bale at the top of his wish-list after being smitten by the manner in which he performed against his team at the Champions League group stage. Bale scored a hat-trick in Tottenham's 4-3 defeat at San Siro, a display that had Moratti purring, and he was also outstanding in the White Hart Lane return, which his team won 3-1. Both games were notable for Bale's dismantling of Maicon, the Brazil right-back previously considered by many the world's strongest in his position.
Real, meanwhile, made inquiries about Bale last summer and they have monitored him closely as the season has progressed. Mourinho, the manager, admires him greatly while it is often said that Real is the one club players find impossible to turn down. They continue to wait in the background, having asked to be kept up-to-date with Bale's situation and they would be ready to rival the bid from Inter.
Tottenham have consistently stated that Bale is not for sale but the money set to be put in front of them will test the resolve of the chairman Daniel Levy, who has the reputation of a hard-headed and savvy businessman. With either a move to the Olympic stadium or a redevelopment of White Hart Lane in the offing, Tottenham will find a ready home for the money.
Bale has lit up Tottenham's debut season in the Champions League, with his performance at San Siro on 20 October being the highlight. Moratti was in raptures after the game, not only about Bale's pace and technique but his character. He was impressed that the Welshman had carried the fight for Tottenham almost single-handedly but he remained wedded to the team ethic.
The reputation of Maicon appeared to be in tatters after his meetings with Bale. At White Hart Lane, the crowd chanted "Taxi for Maicon" to compound his humiliation. But Moratti continues to rate Maicon as one of the best in the world and it registered with him that Bale had not destroyed just anybody.
Moratti has since sacked Rafael BenÃtez as the manager and replaced with him with Leonardo, the Brazilian, who would lean towards the Latin American market for new signings. But Moratti has the final word and he has resolved to make Bale his big summer deal. Inter would more than treble Bale's wages, making him easily the wealthiest 21-year-old in football.
Bale will be confronted by difficult questions when the bids come in. He is happy and settled at Tottenham, where he is popular, and he enjoys his football under Redknapp. Would the summer be the right time to move or should he wait, perhaps to play another season of Champions League football at White Hart Lane?
Moreover, how would he take to life abroad? Bale is, at heart, a humble boy from Cardiff. Levy would be loath to sell to an English rival, despite there being plenty of interest from the country's leading clubs.
It would be unwise of Tottenham not to guard against the possibility of Bale being prised away and the signing of Steven Pienaar from Everton last week has been interpreted in some quarters as making a provision for his departure. Although a different type of player to Bale and one who can play in a few positions, Pienaar is, fundamentally, a left-sided midfielder.
Tottenham also have an interest in the Aston Villa left-winger Ashley Young and they scratched the back of the Midlands club earlier in the month when they allowed the highly-rated 20-year-old full-back Kyle Walker to join them on loan. They could be expected to bid for Young if Bale were to leave.
The manager Harry Redknapp does not want to lose Niko Kranjcar, who was supplanted on the left by Bale's emergence in 2010. Kranjcar has made it clear that he cannot tolerate his lack of playing time but a temporary solution to suit all parties might be a loan move until the end of the season. There is no shortage of takers for the Croat.
There is little doubt that Tottenham's hopes of keeping Bale would reduce dramatically if they failed to qualify for next season's Champions League. The 21-year-old has revelled in the challenge that Europe's elite competition provides and he now has the taste for it every season.

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
it's the long established Liverpool way. Haggle publicly over a few quid, and then end up with a lesser version of or none of your targets. FSG or no, it's been going on for years (Simao comes to mind!)

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
Everyone should note that Chelsea, one of the clubs praised on here for seemingly just making an offer clubs can't refuse to get their man, are struggling a bit with the Ruiz deal regarding how the payment is structured.
It's not so simple.

pennant for alves is the absolute classic one. a couple of million cost us about £25m of footballer there.

As far as I know he's not in the squad tonight versus NAC.
Has he served his ban for the biting offence?

I am not sure if this is true though.

Er your example doesn't stack up. We offered and had a bid accepted for Simao and then at the last minute Benfica hiked the price up. How's that haggling over a few quid? They virtually doubled the price. Plus, although we seemed to want him, he's hardly pulled up any trees since. So perhaps we were right?
Also for every Simao, you could argue there's a Barnes, Beardsley, Aldridge, Torres, Reina, Meireles etc etc.
We complain about getting "bum-raped" by Real but we think its acceptable to get done by Ajax? If we spent £30m on this bloke and he flops, this place will implode. I'm happier with the current stance than just meeting the extortionate asking prices that are being touted.

Re: Suarez paves the way for Anfield switch as Babel nears the exit door
We may well end up finding some middle ground with Ajax and signing the player however claims from our ITK posters that the Suarez signing was 100% when our offer and their valuation were so far apart appear to be a tad foolish.
