bale stays ?

if we make top 4. in the paper today avb says that "if we make top 4 he has been guaranteed that bale will be staying,that is the information he has been given from the club". ( ithink we all thought this anyway )club execs have assured him bale will stay at WHL next season if the cl berth is tied up."the club are commited to keeping their best assets, thats the only way we can ensure we are in the top 4 every year" so is this now an admission he will be touted for sale if we dont? why do they come out with these quotes in the press just before important run in to the season. all it does is heap more pressure on thfc as a whole to try and get the finish we all want so desperately to try and keep our best players. ridiculous to come out with it now imo.
