This is nagging me too. What if he does really well but we as a club don't get Champions League. If we only have him on a year's loan and a City come in with mega bucks then can we arrange another year? And then after 2 years once his contract at Madrid expires, we won't have the luxury of getting his wages subsidised...

If he has a good enough season to make City want to spend mega bucks on him there’s a very good chance we’ll be in the CL.

In an exclusive interview with BT Sport’s Jake Humphrey, Real Madrid’s world-record signing said he hoped Spurs supporters could understand why he chose to leave.

“The fans have been unbelievable with me,” Bale said. “They’ve supported me through the bad times and believed in me and I’ll never forget the great European nights at White Hart Lane. They were amazing.

“Tottenham will always have a place in my heart. I hope the fans still love me even though I’ve moved on. I hope they understand that obviously Real Madrid is a massive, massive club and that they respect my decision.

“From the moment Real Madrid put the offer in it was obviously difficult. [Tottenham] was somewhere I felt so comfortable and so happy - it was difficult to leave but when Real Madrid come in it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“I love all the Tottenham fans and hopefully one day, you never know, I could be back.”

If he wants to know if we still loved him all he’s gotta do is read this thread.

He’s gotta get the #11 shirt. Can still change numbers until window shuts right? He plays as 11 for country right? I mean he owns a bar in Cardiff called Elevens. It’s basically his thing. Maybe he will slip Coco a fiver?

He's not coming to spurs for the money - he must genuinely like us. He's not going to get his Madrid wages anywhere, and Madrid aren't going to want him back - if it works for him here, I can see him staying - it's not like he needs to get a big club in his CV - he can do what he wants now.

Looking at it strictly from a technical perspective. Does Bale's style fit with our other players?

So after tracking this for years I skipped 20 pages as been a long day. If this happens, do we have any insight on if it’s a 1/2 year loan or permanent?
