Sam Allardyce is confident ahead of tonight’s Premier League clash with Spurs, but says that the Hammers could be dealing with a player worth £50 million.
Allardyce has suggested that Gareth Bale could be tempted to move abroad when he leaves White Hart Lane, and believes that Tottenham will be looking for £40-50 million.
Discussing Bale with the Independent ahead of another important home match, Big Sam said: “There might be somebody else from another country that decides he could be the man, so that would inflate the price a little more, rather than people that might just be interested in this country. So who knows.”
He also noted that West Ham will not just pay attention to Bale, but also to the other big talents in the North London side.
On tonight’s game plan, Allardyce said: “They are very, very strong in possession and we must be very good defensively to cope with that. But then of course try and deliver the sort of performances at home we've done on a regular basis this season to cause them a few problems and score a few goals.”
This may be another story about the dangers of Bale, but keeping him quiet is something that the best sides find tricky. Let’s hope Andy Carroll is on form and can prove just as much of a nuisance to the Spurs defence.
