There's no way under the sun that Real Madrid would allow Gareth Bale to play in Ledley King's testimonial a couple of weeks before a Champions League final. La Liga won't have finished either.

I think they (the Standard) mean Bale wants to be at the Lane to watch the testimonial, rather than actually play.
I'll give you a million pounds if you make it happen.
Anyone else worried that the Ledley starting XI, is better than our current Starting XI?.....
People keep saying there's no way Bale with play. But I'm sure there is not much risk in a two-three minute substitute appearance right at the end of the game.
...would YOU fly all the way over from your Madrid Mansion for two-three minutes??
If I was earning over £200,000 a week and it was a testimonial for one of my best friends that I respect hugely.. I think i'd be tempted...
I don't think he will though, just playing devil's advocate!
I agree that the risk would be pretty minimal, but event still I'd bet that it's a risk that his new employers wouldn't be willing to take. Even if he was only on for three minutes, imagine if he pulled up with a hamstring injury or something similar out of the blue in that time. With the CL final just around the corner I can't see Real Madrid being willing to risk their record signing.
That Keane/Berbatov partnership against our current defence would be hilarious.
ill flip it round. Would you let bale if he still played for spurs go to Madrid for a testimonial if we were in the FA cup final?
Especially if Defoe plays as well....
If he was barely going to play then yes, I would.
no chance out for 6 months
say he came on for the last 5 mins and did his hamstring or went over on his ankle and was ruled out of the cup final....i know this could happen in a league game to but for a testimonial im sure we would be furious.
Also as the world most expensive player would you risk him?
I don't know, we are supposed to have that special relationship with them!
all the times ive seen him hes never played....
The same can happen any day of the week in training.
Frankly I think he owes the club, the fans and Ledley the compliment. What's more, it would suggest that this supposed special partnership did actually exist....
