So Bale is worth over 60m based on one decent season where as Rooney isn't worth close to that despite being pretty consistent over the last 4 or 5?
The mind boggles.
Seriously? Dembele a flop this season? On what planet?!
Watch him when he played for Fulham and you'll see he's a shadow of that player

Dembele's been one of Spurs best players this season 
Sorry? I don't remember saying anything about Bale and his value?
I was talking about Wayne Rooney.
Please read messages correctly and reply accordingly.
And no, Rooney is not worth £50m.
Just step out of sandy's world for a second, the fact Bale is worth 60m+ is common knowledge*.
If you think Rooney wont/doesn't command 50m figures then you are mad, so feel free to slide back into sandys world
*general consensus, not my opinion.
My old man is a Fulham fan. I'm a Spurs fan. I've seen more games than most of these two teams and I can definitely say he has not been a shadow of the player he was at Fulham. He's being asked to play a different role, but there is no way in hell he could be called a flop.

?!
What do mean his value is "common knowledge" - you mean the press have labelled him this and you naiively quote this?! against what is their barometer of price measured - at no time have Spurs either stated his value, or listed him for sale at a price, and until a club pay or offer this for him, it's speculative paper talk.
Back into the World of Football Manager and the Sun's gossip column you go.
You are contradicting yourself, the above goes for what Rooney could sell for yet you are saying he is no where near a 50m player...
Back to the intelligent conversations in the thread
Well then in simple terms I strongly disagree

No I'm not, I'm saying he's not worth £50m but at the same time I'm not quoting his value.
I'm suggesting his "value" is between £0 and £49.99m

Basically at Fulham Dembele was employed further forward and and worked more in the final 3rd and thus appeared more prominent than at Spurs where he sits deeper and works effectively but with less prominence. To the uninitiated this means he's been a failure.
As opposed to Clint Dempsey who played regularly for Fulham and scored a plethora of goals whereas at Liverpool**, he's featured sporadically with limited success - to wit, a flop.
**yes yes, Spurs!

Dempsey plays for Liverpool now, who knew.
Yes, obviously we aren't on the ball enough to have noticed.
Whoops Spurs!
By the way, just read an article in the Mirror - Rooney is "valued at £35m".....
.....strange that
Contradicting yourself again, thought we weren't supposed to use newspaper speculation as a metric for players value?
Especially in the mirror!

Exactly - THAT is the premise of this conversation! - I'm saying where does the value come from - when it was suggested it was "common knowledge Bale was worth £60m+"
Oh dear
