Apparently he's willing to take a wage cut to £250k according to sources

Isn't that only if someone buys him? If it's a loan Madrid would be paying 50% of his €600k wages wouldn't they? Which means we'd be paying him €300k minus the Dele wage.

"Gareth still loves Spurs," his agent Jonathan Barnett told BBC Sport Wales.

"We are talking [Spurs, Real and Bale's camp]. It's where he wants to be."

This doesn't sound like we would be selling Dele. Essentially it's a loan swap. Bale comes to us for two years, Dele goes to Madrid for 2 years. But given how Levy negotiates, I can see him annoying the fuck out of Madrid and this whole thing blowing up at the last minute. Truly hope it doesn't, as I think it's probably the best possible outcome we can hope for. As I'm in the camp that Dele has stagnated terribly over the last two seasons. Something is entirely off with his game. A move to Madrid on loan, can be the making of him, or we will find out that he piqued at the age of 20. I don't really want to see him go, but if this is key to getting Bale, then sign me up.

I've done a u turn. Think this happens. It is everywhere online. Think the pressure on Levy for it to happen is immense now.

Don't think Dele going on loan is a bad thing if it happens.
