After annihilating the European Champions' right back, Maicon, described as one of the best defenders in the world, Gareth Bale has been the topic of many a conversation today.The Tottenham winger was in astonishing form, and showed his extraordinary fitness levels, when, in the 89th minute, after running and running for the whole game, bolted forward, past the Inter defence to assist his teammate with a tap in, and Tottenham's third to seal the game. And, after gathering admirers from all over the world, in giants of football clubs, and experienced football experts, Bale was more or less labelled as a priceless player by the man who helped turn him into the star that he is today, the Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp.
When asked about the possibility of a top club bidding in the region of £25 - £30 million for the Welsh winger, Redknapp assured the Tottenham fans by saying:
"They wouldn't buy him for that, that's for sure,
"If he had a value, if we wanted to sell him, his value would be way in excess of that sort of figure.
"He really is an amazing young player. We wouldn't even entertain a bid. The chairman has said he's not for sale and that's good enough."Instead, Redknapp wants to build a club, who he knows is improving day by day, with committed owners, quality players and quality facilities.
"We don't want to sell him and we're looking to build a team at Tottenham. We're a club that's going places - we've got a new training ground coming, change of stadium, the whole thing is going forward.Gareth Bale, a man who went through a period early in his Tottenham career, in which whenever he was in the team, the team lost, has turned into a player that Tottenham cannot do without. He is worth, to Harry Redknapp and Tottenham over £50 million, and has almost single handed, demolished the European Champions' defence.
Bale summed the game up nicely, as he has seen his career and reputation change rapidly over the last few years:
"It was great, it was special beating the European champions. It will be a night that will never be forgotten."
