Tottenham Transfer Rumours: Spurs Should Accept Gargantuan Offer for Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale is a burgeoning superstar with talent as enticing as anyone in the world. But right now, he's being approached like someone tossed Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's genes in a bowl, mixed them together and created a superstar monster named Gareth Bale. 

In more simple terms. He's good, but not this good. 

If you're wondering what exactly I'm babbling about, FOX Sports is reporting that Real Madrid has made a world-record bid for the Tottenham midfielder:

"

Real Madrid have made a world record bid of over £85m to Tottenham for Gareth Bale, according to reports.

The bid has been on the table for over a week and Bale is aware of it and is becoming more frustrated with the situation.

The bid does not include any Real Madrid players moving to Spurs as part of a package.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is understood to be currently in Miami and his and the club's stance - that the Wales international is not for sale - has not changed.

"

Oh, wow, that's a pretty intriguing offer, but I don't know if—SELL! But, actually, Bale is far too valua—ACCEPT THE OFFER RIGHT NOW! No, really, he was one of the best players in the world last seas—£85 MILLION!

Seriously, though. If there really is an £85 million offer on the table, Tottenham needs to stop everything it's doing and accept it right away.

Listen, there's no denying Bale's talent. 

The former left-back's first full season as an attacking midfielder went off without a hitch last year—21 goals and four assists in 33 EPL appearances, three goals and four assists in the Europa League, countless awards for his excellence. 

His combination of pace, dribbling ability, passing and finishing make him one of the most dangerous players in the world—and certainly not someone you give up so easily at the prime age of 24. 

But once again, my counter point remains: £85 million, which isn't all that far off from this joke from Genius Football:

Let's try to put this in relative terms.

Last summer, Eden Hazard was bought for £32 million. Granted, there were questions about how his talent was going to transfer from France, and Bale is certainly better. But at this point, is he really over £50 million better than the flourishing 22-year-old?

Robin van Persie went for £24 million, Clint Dempsey for £6 million, Christian Benteke for £7 million, Park Ji-Sung for £2 million and Alex Song for £15 million.

Combined, all of those transfers equals £86 million, just one million more than the reported offer for Gareth Bale alone.

If you're not exactly keen on giving up Bale, ask yourself this: Would you trade him for Hazard, Van Persie, Song, Dempsey, Benteke and Park Ji-Sung? 

The 24-year-old still has room to improve. But during what was a truly transcendent, dominant season, he was only able to carry Tottenham to fifth place on the EPL table.

He won't bring Spurs any major titles all by himself. But the money used from selling him could instantly build a stacked roster capable of earning some beautiful silverware. 

Cutting ties with a player as talented as Bale is always difficult, but this is an offer that is too good to refuse.
