Apparently there is something in the rumour for once this time (I watch Alasdair Gold on YouTube who actually has some knowledge of the goings on at Spurs). I'm a bit torn on it really, obviously we could use him, but if he comes in and we do well it'll just be everyone saying we were crap without Bale and he just bails us out every time, just like 8 years ago. Shouldn't complain I guess - we look dead in the water otherwise.

If you get bale then that's 100% the signing you need to make you guys complete

Better depth in the offensive department

Also he can play up top when kane gets injured

I think Bale’s injuries would also be a huge concern. He isn’t capable of playing a lot of football anymore.

Long as him and kane aren't out together injured it will be a huge bonus

Plus a winner in the dressing room they don't have much of that

Getting Bale would sprinkle some star dust on the team, boost moral of players and fans alike. Sell a good few shirts as well. Assuming Real will be paying a good chunk of his wages still so it could be a very good deal for Spurs.

Do we know that for sure? That's not the reason Real were leaving him out, they just don't like him. Assuming he'd be rested for League Cup and Europa anyway, he might be good for most of the league matches.

Villa have signed Martinez, GK, from arsenal for £17m. Does this mean Heaton is moving on? £17m for a number 2 seems pretty excessive.

Any Villa fans on here who can enlighten us?

Has Heaton come back looking dodgy from his injury ? Been a few injuries recently

He is 34.. tore his knee last year

Knee injuries ruin keepers

Fantasy league says he's injured for at least another month. To be fair he's been injured on and off for a few years, I'd say he's probably on his last legs really.

His football will need to be stellar, I know he's been sidelined by Zidane but his approach has not been very professional imo, mercenary even. :oops:
I think he's a risk wrt injury, the EPL is more physical than La Liga.
Spurs could use him though (if fit) looking at the Everton match, unhappy camp, Alli continues to falter.

Heaton hasn't played yet this season as his team (I am forbidden to use their name) have not yet started their PL season.

With regard to Martinez the fee does seem rather high for one who has only had a comparatively short period at the top level and was regarded by many as not exceptional when out on loan.

Alli is finished at a top club, absolute joker. Made his money and doesn't care. He'll gradually slide down the ladder. He's done nothing at club level for two years. Another Jesse Lingard.

Bale for £20m all in for one season is worth it for sure. When you look at Spurs midfield and attack bar Kane, who has been off the boil for a year and Son they've got very little. Bale is a risk as he's done nothing for a few years but needs a spark. I think going back to Spurs isn't the move he needed but Mourinho could be the one to push him on.

I thought Europa League was on BT but our game that's on now is on some channel I've never heard of that sounds made up - Premier Sports. Probably a good thing that I can't watch it really.

It’s just cool to hate Neymar.

He's the biggest waste of talent of the last decade. So much ability, quality and skill. Yet he cares more about money, easy rides and life outside football. PSG would win the league with Dan James in his position and fail in the CL the same way, one of the worst transfers in football history for both parties.

I think in terms of ability only Messi playing today is better.

His arrogance, attitude, diving, being a professional victim and woeful finishing when it really counts says it all though. More crocodile tears than goals at the highest level - bottle job.

That came with my BT Sports deal. It's mainly boxing I think! You can still watch Spurs :unsure::oops::p

Also thought it was on BT not to disappointed though after watching the Everton game, scraped a win by the sounds of it.

Saw a report on bbc news dinner time about high line tour of stadium, didn’t know that they done exact replica of the cockerel that included all the dents that Gazza fired up trying to shoot pidgins ?

My son and myself got a stadium tour from my daughter for Xmas, nephew is a season ticket holder and got us tickets to see C/L game but that never worked for us unfortunately, had e-mail from club and extended date of tour so hopefully get down sometime.
