I was watching the game on BT and this isn't really what was said. They only said that they "hope" they'll get to speak to Bale at some point during the broadcast of the match tomorrow.
Yeah that's how I understood it as well. I mean, everybody *assumes* he's a Spurs player because the negotiations were concluded and he everyone and his dog saw him disappear into Hotspur Way yesterday. I think it's pretty obvious that they'd try to secure an interview with him but nothing I heard was confirmation.

Standard for sky though. Make educated guesses report it as fact and add "according to sky sports sources"

Textbook Skysports. My favourite this week was their articles saying ‘Aubameyang’ turned down Barcelona to stay at Arsenal, with zero quotes/evidence/hint they were remotely interested, then in the press conference ask Arteta to talk about ‘those links to turning down’ Barcelona!!

Incredible.

On Sky Sports' VT of Bale, all his best goals came from striking a beauty from distance - you don't lose that skill at the age of 31.

If he gets the chances, he will score important goals for us!

:D

Crouch is a BT pundit so makes sense and maybe as they're mates and ex teammates Crouch might get him on his podcast.

I’m wondering if there’s a delay involving a player leaving us first? The reason I’m thinking that is Lamela has the 11 shirt, can shirt numbers be swapped between players or does the number have to come free by someone departing? Maybe Lamela could be off? Please excuse me if this has been asked/answered already!

Not being funny, but aren’t we usually quite slow with announcements? Feels like the ‘done’ confirmations on Doherty and PEH took a little time, etc...

I just want it to hurry up because I’ve been planning on getting a yellow shirt for my workouts, and it’d be fun to get those four letters... no not those four... or the other ones...
