How is it a panic buy when it's a loan in which we don't pay most of his wages, we'd be mad not to take this deal

World class player - Tick
Knows the League - Tick
Knows the club - Tick

TalkSPORT host “Panic Buy”. Honestly, that station isn’t worth a wank. Nobody on there truly believes a word they say (except Simon Jordan who actually Knows his stuff and speaks very eloquently) it’s like verbal click bait- everything is said for a reaction and to rile up listeners into calling in.

TalkSport is a wind up merchant channel. Why people still give them the time of day baffles me.

@Rob I'm not asking any details about who it was etc - just purely out of fascination. How long ago did you get a serious heads up from an ITK ,in your little private boys club conversations that us plebs aren't privy too, that Bale was a serious option this window?

I don't know why anyone even gives Talksport (no, I'm not stylising it) a moment's dialogue.

They are the Katie Hopkins of sports media.

I'm hoping its perm as I can't deal with him having an amazing season and then real taking him back and asking for a huge fee - or someone like PSG taking him off us!!

Imagine it will be a loan with an option. Don't think Levy would agree a loan without an option that is do-able for us.

Do we think Bale coming back means no striker and they will say Bale can play up front or in behind so get one player to cover two positions rather than two cheaper players?

I'm sure the roller coaster that is being a Spurs fan in a transfer window has a few more twists and turns yet. I am bracing myself for a media storm of 'Man U hijack Bale deal'.

Latest ITK says we are interested in Weghorst.

Tbh, at the start of the window I said if we just get a DMF and a RB I’ll be happy. A back up striker was always a bonus for me tbh. Now we’ve got Bale and a fucking LB as well I’m more than happy to call it a day. If we do get a back up striker that is just crazy.

Agbonlahor on his debut on Talksport - "Panic buy"

:|

Reckons because Jose lost the first game he's run into Levy and said he wants this big signing. Well... thanks for your input, Gabby.

Any news from Joachim? How about Vassell?

God, I need opinions from the full array of 90s/00s Villa strikers.

GET ME JUAN PABLO ANGEL ON THE PHONE IMMEDIATELY.

Wasteman. (Not you RSS, obvs Gabs) :happy:

They won’t though because quotes have already come out from his agent saying Bale still loves Tottenham and wants to go back.

Jim White saying that he spoke to a close associate of Bale's a moment ago.

Jim White says he asked the associate 'will this happen?' The associates response was 'of course it will'

Maybe it means we can get away with a crap striker because Bale can get the goals.

he’s not the only one to have heard that.

I was saying this to some pals last night.

It would explain a lot, the hauling off at HT and now being offered out.

The optimist in me thought it my be Jose trying to rile him up, get the old angry Dele back. He really hasn’t been the same since he got a bit calmer
