Davids?Massive signing but not in the same bracket as bale status wise. I'd say Klinsmann was the last and arguably only world renowned player we have signed.
Why do I get the impression that Gary is just as much of a nob irl?
Arsenal fan in my office is refusing to accept this could be happening, describing it as "absolute bollocks". Clearly rattled at the prospect...
You're 41, I'll forgive you. But Ossie and Villa signing in 78. THAT WAS BIG. that was the start of Foreign players here.
I just really need to know the terms behind the loan deal... there has to be some sort of option/obligation? Otherwise whats the point?
Sky Sports:
BALE, REGUILON TO FLY TO LONDON ON FRIDAY
Gareth Bale will fly from Madrid to London tomorrow before signing for Tottenham.
Plans are in place for Bale and his team-mate Sergio Reguilon to fly together on a private jet from Madrid.
Negotiations have continued to progress well overnight and whilst no agreement has been signed, a deal is expected to be concluded before the two Real players head for London.
The 31-year old Welsh international owns his own private jet, but it would be expected for Tottenham to organise the players’ transit.
Until I see Bale walk onto our pitch on matchday in a Spurs kit I won't get excited. Just don't trust Zidane or RM to screw his move over no matter how much they want him gone.
sorry just woke up, so is it just a 1 year loan? any option for second?
Who knows. Pointless speculating as it could be one of four options (1 yr loan no option, 1 yr loan option, 2 yr loan, purchase).
Thanks.
Kind regards,

I've had two kids since then!! My 5 year old can't wait to see him ☺
Last perhaps but not only. Surely Lineker as England’s main striker and Barcelona star was bigger than the Klinsmann signing, and potentially this one too. And of course there’s the British record fee for Greaves.Massive signing but not in the same bracket as bale status wise.

Whatever the length of the deal is people are going to fixate on it and complain. The way I look at it is that if it's a one year loan, then there's some sort of financial flim-flammery going on which makes it a solution to issues that are way beyond our understanding and regardless of that, he'll still be here the year after anyway. It could be any number of things and right now, who really gives a shit. Sometimes we delve way too deeply into things.
I don't get why people worry about it. Do people seriously think Levy, for all his faults, is suddenly going to sign a deal that has Spurs taking it up the gary? Of course he isn't. He's never been a mug in that way so why insinuate that he'd sign off on a rotten deal, if he did things like that then what sort of father does that make himNo matter how the deal is structured, this will be the case.
