Spurs Transfers: 5 Signings AVB Could Make Using Gareth Bale Proceeds

Los Blancos are prepared to smash the world transfer record that they themselves had set by spending £85 million on the Welshman. And the club are not unfamiliar with spending such mind-boggling transfer fees; they bought Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United in an £80 million deal in 2009, after all. As United were at the time, Spurs will be reluctant to sell their prized asset and will battle tooth and nail to keep their star performer, but also like the Red Devils, they may struggle to resist the huge profits they could rake in on their player. With £85 million, manager Andre Villas-Boas could furnish himself a brand new team, one that is capable of finally cracking the top four again and does that not sound sensible? Last season, Spurs were a one man team - a squad consisting of fairly average players and one very good player carrying them on his own back. With £85 million however, AVB could fashion himself a team containing collective rather than individual talents by using the proceeds to attract a number of world class players. Selling Bale then may not seem like such a raw deal after all. Here, we take a look at 5 Signings Andre Villas-Boas Could Make Using the Gareth Bale Proceeds.
