AVB predicts things to get ‘frantic’

Andre Villas-Boas expects a “frantic” end to the transfer window that he admits could see Gareth Bale leave Tottenham.

Bale will sit out the first leg of Tottenham’s Europa League play-off against Dinamo Tbilisi today as he continues to pine for a move to Real Madrid.

While Bale has been recovering from what has officially been branded a foot injury, Tottenham have spent £60 million on four new signings — and they could shell out a similar figure over the next two days.
