I don’t care if he’s past his best - I want him to come home, I want to see him in our new stadium, I want him to lift the FA Cup this year

Getting a player like him could be the difference between scraping top 4 and finishing 8th. The financial implications of that alone would pay for this deal.

PLEASE.

If he signs i'll be over the moon but I just cant see it. Every window at Spurs follows the same narrative. I can see this one being the "one that nearly happened" this window.

Spurs PR team need to mix it up as it's very predictable.

However I still won’t believe this will happen... it’s around this time of the transfer window with a week or so togo that we get linked high profile name and we all know how it usually turns out

Agreed. Like clockwork.

I know we hear it every window but I’m more optimistic this time for some reason... could be the Grey Goose talking though (n)

File next to Dybala.

We have a penchant for trying for near-impossible targets or bargain basement options.

I mean, it's clearly not going to happen, but I'll still keep refreshing this site every 10 minutes for the next 10 days to check.

Clive Allen has an interesting take on Bale coming back on the spurs show podcast (towards the end of part 2 of the interview shows) - not itk but some thoughts on why the move would make sense.
Giving that a listen right now....

Next we'll have a story about Eriksen being involved in any deal.

Then, either a) it turns out to be an attempt to hurry up Inter with their offer.
Or b) we dilly dally with it and end up fucking up both deals.
Or c) Levy actually pulls it off and this place goes batshit mental!

If we can get Mourinho, we can definitely get an out-of-favour Bale.

Are we allowed another loan?
IIRC loan restrictions only apply to loans within the federation. You can have as many loans from outside England as you like

He would give the place a massive lift, that's for sure. But I think we've seen with the new manager bounce that eventually petered out that we need more than just a lift.

I'm all for this but I don't see it being a ticket to a top four place unless we can also address the defensive midfield.
