I've been in two minds whether to get the sky sports package as I can't go to see them live but erred in the side if caution and didn't bother. After Sunday I knew I'd made the right decision and felt pretty good about it, now this! Dammit.

SSN just now, message from his agent.

The pull of Mourinho must have helped in some sort of ways.. Can't wait for rest of the puzzles to fall into place

If this does happen, it'll be torture to not be able to go and watch him.

The number of times I woke the whole house up when he scored worldies, they better get ready for it to happen again.

The one against West Ham I jumped up and my arm got smacked by the ceiling fan, fkn hurt!

Sky Sports saying Barnett has told them thst Bale has spoken to Jose and told him Spurs have a special place in his heart...

Said a long way to go though but could be wrapped up very soon if talks continue to go well. Said Bale is closer to leaving Madrid now more than ever.

Considering he was practically on a plane to China, this means it's a signature away from being done surely.

We saw from the documentary that SSN is a staple at the training ground whenever the players are eating etc and that they aware of media coverage ( Winks on Mourinho).

I can only assume they will be sat there a bit like us at the moment - getting pretty hyped.

They're probably all huddled around Ben Davies as he chats to Bale on WhatsApp

I loved that goal. Was sat with my Dad (who is disabled) amongst the spammers skinheads in the corporate seats. Didn’t celebrate a single goal that day in case I got beaten up and my old man got hurt. There were a lot of salty spammers after he scored and celebrated with AVB ?

Weird that it could still conceivably be a one-year loan, two-year loan or permanent. Nobody seems to actually know.

Personally think a 2-year loan deal would be ideal.

I doubt we will find out until the deal is or isn’t concluded now. The media will just be in the dark as much as us until news filters out from the two clubs.

Don't believe so as he would have been involved with Wales and Madrid therefore he must have been tested and thus is fine?

The announcement video has to be golf related, even if it's Harry and two other spurs players waiting for the last of the four-ball to turn up and turns out it's Gareth...with Reguilon as his caddy.

Isn’t there an exemption in place for elite sports? Same as our trip to Bulgaria this week, no quarantine needed.

Can I just be the twat to temper expectations and say that he's gonna need a few games over a month or two to really show anything.

He's not played a lot in the last 18 months and there'll be a lot of rust to shake off.

I very nearly lost my faith but bringing Bale home would go a long way towards getting it back. C'mon Levy, I want to be a believer again!
