Bale signs new contract

[markiespurs]

The Club is delighted to announce that Gareth Bale has signed a new four-year contract, committing his future to the Club until 2016.
On signing his new deal, Gareth said: “I’ve been here for five years now and I’ve enjoyed every minute. The fans have been great to me and I’d love to re-pay them and do the very best for them. The Club is progressing and I want to be a part of that, so it was great to get the deal done.
"I love the Club and the fans and I want to play my part in trying to get us back into the Champions League - where we belong. We’ve a good, young squad and we need to work together to get back on the biggest stage again."
The popular left-sided player's performances over recent seasons have attracted worldwide acclaim and have seen him named in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year in the past two seasons as well as the UEFA Team of the Year last year.
A winner of the PFA Player of the Year award in 2011, Gareth has not looked back since establishing himself in the First Team at the start of 2010, making a key contribution not only to the Club securing Champions League football but also in the competition itself, notably with his performances against the trophy holders Inter Milan.
Signed from Southampton in the summer of 2007 at the age of 17, the Wales international has won the Club's Young Player of the Year award in two of the past three seasons and has made a total of 160 appearances in our colours so far, scoring 29 goals.

I know contracts don't mean much these days, but it's good news none the less and should reduce the speculation over Bales future this summer.

Also sticks two fingers up at the idiots who suggested that all our top players would go if Harry was sacked.

Excellent news

Tremendous news. Real statement of intent that we are keen to keep our top players.

Good that Bale thinks he can get back into the Champions League with us...let's hope he's right.

Now to announce a manger, 5 new players, a new stadium, a new sponsor and a massive injection of cash from someone who is morally acceptable.

COYS!

 

[ajspurs]

Nice words from him too, great to hear.

 

[beals]

[Riandor]

Step 1 in the Spurs wave of good news.

Reckon it could be like a Christmas calendar.... ooooh I wonder what is behind tomorrow's door?!

With a quality coach directing him, the world will be his oyster.

 

[Gbspurs]

Just read this. Fantastic news. Lad could be a legend for us.

 

[Arkie]

Bale obviously knows who the new manager is going to be, to commit before the appointment is made.
Basically its only a one year extension probably for a pay rise and maybe some kind of release clause...

Still great news though and nice to read Gareths comments about our club and fans

 

[HappySpur]

The one thing it does typically mean is that a player is going nowhere for a year. There are a few exceptions to that rule, but typically a new contract guarantees a year on hot properties.

 

[mpickard2087]

I approve of this

 

[spursfan77]

awesome. best signing of the summer

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

Mega.

 

[jonola]

Awesome news

 

[kungfugrip]

Brilliant news, what a player. More important than Modric I reckon if he sticks to the left wing.
Didn't think he'd be leaving any time soon. Now when do I get my Sportsbook cash through?

 

[Kingellesar]

Excellent news, guess he really wants to work under Pep/Mourinho

 

[antiloqus]

top stuff.
