Gareth Bale: Spurring on the lads (A Tottenham Hotspur story)
Introduction
This is my first post. I have read many of the other FM13 stories on this website before actually deciding I would do one of my own. My main aim of this is to take Tottenham Hotspur to the top of the football world. I intend to build a team around what I consider to be an already very strong core to the team, with Hugo Llori (Goalkeeper), Younes Kaboul (Defence) and Gareth Bale (Midfield). I have already started this career and I am already in January of the first season (I do not get through seasons as quickly as some, and each update could take 2 or 3 days) which I started on Thursday. Hope you guys read and enjoy.

Year 5:

Five years +:

The aim of the story, as briefly mentioned in the introduction, is to build a team around what I already consider to be a very strong core (Llori, Kaboul and Bale) of which I have no intention of selling any of. Hopefully I will be able to convince them to stay on with Tottenham once they finish their playing careers. Within 10 years of starting the career I intend to make Tottenham the best team in Europe. For this, I will need the 3 previously mentioned player, therefore p, any bid I receive for them will be immediately rejected.
