Signing Bale would be sensational. Imagine a front 3 of Bale, Son & Kane. Sort out a solid midfiled that you can't just run through and we're already awesome.

We had a couple bits of ITK on Bale just before the window opened (Dec 31st) so maybe it's something we've been working on?

The thing is, Real have to sell Bale at some point.

They know he won't sign a new deal and they wouldn't want him to.

With every window that passes his age goes up thus his value goes down and they spend more and more money on the wages of a player they don't want, despite his brilliance, because the fans don't like him due to him liking golf more than them.

In summary: This is definitely happening. You're welcome.

Yes, plus with every window that passes he is not only getting older, but it`s off course also less and less time till his contract expires, which also will make him cheaper and cheaper.

Bale needs a new club and he certainly needs games before Euro, Real needs to get rid off him, and we definitely need a striker and we need him. Plus, this sounds like both a Mourinho deal and a Levy deal actually (even though that might in most cases be contradictory). Mourinho likes well-developed and experienced stars like Bale, and Levy likes a damn good deal. I actually think this will happen.

Being given a tier 3.5 on this new, definitely 100% accurate, reliability scale that's been doing the rounds :cautious:

@Eurosport_UK are just quoting the same original 'El Chringuito de Jugones' story that seems to be the source of every media piece on the Bale/Spurs links. Here's their tweet:

He doesn't know anything full-stop unfortunately, if you knew his history

What's his history like mate? This window is the first time I've heard of him. Can understand the logic behind a tiering type system but sure no point me following him if there's history there
