Do you think it'd make that much difference?

The problem with Bale is he has now moved into the state where legend comes before real time ability. I can't help but feel this is a bit like Everton fans thinking they'd signed the same Wayne Rooney that left them. Bale is not the player we let go nearly five years ago. His fitness record is worse, his wages have sky rocketed and the expectation he will come with would be untenable because some fans would think he can still single handedly win us games and others would think that because he'd be now ex-Real he'd be shit hot with every performance.
In reality Bale is not the player he was, would be playing in a better side than the one he left (and so would not be expected to carry the side but rather work as part of a unit) and would be extremely expensive in wages and transfer fee for what he would likely contribute. Personally I think we should enjoy fond memories and otherwise leave him in the past.

Bale will be at spurs next year, 80% sure of that. However, I think it would be the wrong move. Pushes himself so hard that injuries are inevitable
The original JJetset@jetsetyid
I’m more .008% sure

I understand all the reasons, we should have him back. I also understand why it is probably not going to happen. But, it would really, really piss Maureen off. For that reason alone, he's worth a punt.

Tbh thats good news the 0.008 figure is just a play on the previous quote but the fact JJ is playing along and not outright rejecting the rumour adds credence to the fact its a possibility.

I can assure you he is not saying it is blx. Just his view of chances of him joining is, if it was possible, due to various factors!

If he was saying there was no chance he would have said that.

We wasted a lot of money on Sissoko, Janssen and GKN so let's waste more on Bale?
Of course I dont want to see us spend 60 million on Bale, I only said if it was a straight choice between two options.

Yeah I agree. JJs retort is normally something like a rolling eyed emoji whenever he rules out rumours. We ain't signing him though

If his injury problems remain until the end of the season I wonder how much interest there actually will be. Highly doubt Klopp would trust him coping with double training sessions, Chelsea will want a no risk big signing, Utd are going for Greizmann, City don't need him and will want a younger player, he wouldn't sign for Arsenal.
I'm not suggesting we'll sign him but I wonder what he'd do if we're his only option back in PL but can only pay 120k a week.

Levy has repeatedly said that we are not in a position to take a huge financial risk on a player who may or may not work out with little sell on value. I’d wager he’s far more likely to spend a huge fee on a 21 year old with plenty of time to mound and pay dividends. I don’t think Levy is afraid to spend a high fee, he just only wants to do so with risk mitigated as much as possible.
