£86 million for Bale right now? Daniel Levy has lost it. It's a gamble to keep him and assume you'll end up in the Champions League and still be able to flog him for £80 million, it's less of a gamble to do off with him now and invest in an incredible amount of money.
The Real risky side is him not performing at Madrid...
I don't get it with Bale, he's certainly not worth that price but he's not as such overrated. I think he's drawn attention by being the one man show at Spurs. Robin Van Persie scored more and had more assists than Bale last season and for me it's about the total.
Juan Mata, Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla all had great seasons but have received next to no recognition. If anything they're all just as good as Bale. Eden Hazard had a decent opening year and will only get better, he's not far behind Bale and if anything in a few years will be better than Bale.

Are you seriously comparing Bale and Walcott? They are miles apart in terms of ability and performance last season. Bale was the best player in the league by some distance last season in my opinion, put him in a better team than spurs and he will get even better.
