Analysing the transfer gossip – 29th July (Part Two): Bale, Pastore, Bent and more

Tottenham will move for Paris St-Germain’s Argentina midfielder Javier Pastore, 24, if they sell Bale.

Full story: Daily Star

What’s the story? Will they? And how are they going to do that? Pastore cost PSG £38 million and looks to be an important player moving forwards as they try to win the Champions League.

Does it make sense? Not really. Although Pastore would bring gliding elegance and devastating passing to the Spurs attack, it’s this skill set that means PSG won’t sell him. Does he really want to step out of the Champions League, either?

Is the price right? Where to start? At least the £38 million they paid.

Will it happen? 0/10 – Not unless PSG got Bale from out of nowhere.
