I don’t know if people wouldn’t - I think most people can just see there’s almost zero chance of it happening.

What I was mocking, is the sneering tone of some on here - passive aggressively mocking those who get their hopes up about it.

It’s a weird storm of hope and disgust

It's not that people are getting their hopes up, I get that. He's a world class player, I understand why people want him back.

It's that no matter how negative a media update regarding why it would be nigh on impossible, some of the COB(Yep I am rolling with that from now on) have managed to still managing to spin it. I mean the report on how much he would be demanding as far as salary is concerned(might be true might not), has been countered with perhaps we could get him on loan? and maybe Real will pay part of his wages? Some of these in hope theories make the bible look like it was written by David Attenborough ffs.

The media update yesterday (Miguel Delaney's piece in The Independent) literally said:

"Sources close to Bale say he would be very open to a return to Spurs, and would be willing to make compromises on financial demands if a deal could be structured".

"With manager Mauricio Pochettino having urged the club to make statements in the market this summer, those close to the hierarchy say Tottenham would be willing to offer a deal similar to Harry Kane’s, of around £200,000 a week with bonuses".

A proper journalist from a serious newspaper claims that this information has come from the two relevant parties involved. If it's possible to believe that journalists tell the truth at least some of the time, then there's no spin required to reasonably conclude from the above that we at least have some chance of persuading Bale to rejoin.

It's also perfectly reasonable to believe that he isn't coming back. There's conflicting information out there from various sources, so no need to make out that people on either side of the debate are being idiots.

I never said anyone was an idiot and gave two examples of what I was referring to. Both of which involved whacky straw clutching based on how much he is reportedly on. The article you quoted is a completely different will he won't he argument altogether, and was not what I was talking about.
