Bale. Could we? Would we? Should we?

[harr1984]

I don't think it is financially responsible for us to sign Bale. Appreciate the nostalgia surrounding this but if we are willing to even pay half his wages - I would much prefer going after someone else.

But someone else on the level of Bales wages would also command a hefty transfer fee. There is no one of Bales ability available on a free transfer that’s for sure.

Would love us to get him, if it doesn’t work out then at least for once we tried rather than just go for a cheap option that has as much chance of failing but for different reasons.....

Oh I must confess I do miss seeing these So basically amongst that paragraph of waffle, all we can take that 1) it’s down to the chairman if we sign the player 2) It could go either way
You really have to be ‘ITK’ to figure that out.

ITK hasn’t developed at all over the past ten years has it....

Well its still 99% gonads for sure but the sad thing about it is there are far more SAD fans who lap it up and believe it.

Financially irresponsible...i think it's going to be a stretch to imagine Danny allowing that!

Feels like we do need something Big to change the feeling around the club at the moment.

Manchester United are ready to offer Real Madrid'sGareth Bale, 31, a short-term deal, with an initial season-long loan, after losing patience with efforts to sign Borussia Dortmund's England winger Jadon Sancho, 20. (Sun)

But Wales forward Bale is not keen on a loan move. (Mail)

I think taking him on a perm off the bat is too risky for us, he needs a year to prove he still has the passion and drive to get back to somewhere near his best.

I take it signing Bale would also tick the box of help/back up for Kane ie we wouldn't then need a forward?

It's £14m for a years wages. We're looking at £20m for some of the other fellas? +Wages.

To cut it another way if Bale transfer fee was £9m and you had to pay him 100k a week...you'd do it...even just for a year.

Didn't Llorente cost us £13m?

Do it now! We need a spark and Bale is the man not some brick Palace reject, not some kid from Benfica on loan who's nowhere near good enough and we don't want Man Utd to get him either.

 

[Hashegotthesackyet?]

anything now to inject a bit of impetus to the club. do it.

 

[mjc23]

And if we don't get him this week I will stamp my feet and scream and scream until I make myself sick.

There is a very large cue over in the 'hysterical' Bale fan area' good luck.

Apparently this is how transfers work.

Has our special relationship with been revived? Who do you think they will be getting from us in exchange if it happens?

The same as we got when we sent him over there. The ability to say to their fans that "we have a special relationship with Tottenham" to save some face.

They can also have the modern-day equivalent of Paulinho, Chiriches, Capoue and Soldado...can we round up three other posters to join me in signing for Madrid?

I normally roll my eyes when there's Gareth Bale questions most windows, every year. Finally, this is a window when I don't think I can. From what I understand Spurs are genuinely having a go for a loan and if they can get Real Madrid to help out a lot, I think it might happen.


hmmm, that adds a little spice to it I guess considering he gets his info from the club but.... nah it won't happen.

If Ali G thinks we have a chance, it's time for all of us to break out the custard and start stroking up.
