If that is the case then it suggests it’s more than just a one year loan with Madrid paying half his wages.

SpursOfficial have tweeted so much about the Sky Walk. But it would be good if they could tweet with a caption saying '......just one more post about the sky walk....'
And it's a silhouette of the Cockerel with the city of London in the background and silhouette of a guy walking on the sky walk and you can see his top knot....
In all honesty, I still cant believe this could quite happen. I'm scared of the potential heartbreak of it falling through

As per Spurs condition of his contract , Bale will cut his hair in the unveiling video

That has to have implications on the centre of gravity. His and earth's

The first time I recall it seeming even remotely possible was after the RM/Liverpool final where he was so clearly utterly fed up with RM. There was always some chat before that, though - it was just too good to let go.
I’d love that - Son, Kane and Bale heading off with Doherty and Reguilon flanking them... but it’ll probably just be a series of clips of him scoring outlandish goals, topped off with the West Ham or Inter ones.

He will score a freekick early doors and the rust will disappear sport is so much about mentality and confidence. Its a shame the fans aren't there because the reception he would get would likely have a similar effect. I remember being at the opening game against Palace at the new stadium and the Dele chant was the first chant that got going all at the same time and the feeling in that place for that was unreal and I was thinking what that must do for a players self esteem. Bale returning would be on a whole different level to that.

On the bright side, might have extended his peak window of performance.

I don't see Levy wanting a one year loan at all, doubt that would be preferable to any party. Nice fall back option maybe. Madrid want shot of him, we don't want to expose ourselves to long term risk. If Madrid bought out his contract he could join us permanently but then you may be looking at a 3-4 year deal for a 31yo.
2 year loan feels like the obvious compromise, but there'll also be performance related bonuses that both Madrid and Gareth would be interested in.

We've had so much of it before but this feels like it's different. His agent is saying Tottenham is where he wants to come. That's a big statement because it lessens the appeal for any other clubs in the race. Spurs are clearly leaking to the press. This has substance moreso than any of the other big ones throughout the years.
Fuck it, I'm all in on the excitement. If heartbreak happens, I'll deal with it. You get used to it supporting this club.
He's coming home...

In complete contrast to previous years' quotes, the positive quotes from Barnett this time round are making me think this may really be happening.
Yeah. Every time I doubt it I remember that Barnett who lol’ed at the suggestion 6 months ago, is now saying it’s close.
I’m sooo excited.

At that point he stops and says "I bought a little something with me" and Reguilon pops his head out of the golf bag.

I’m just waiting for the Premier League to do a massive u-turn and ratify the Saudi takeover of Newcastle and then they put in a ridiculous offer to Real for Bale ?
