    This shows why I still think that we've got a big problem, even if these signings go through and we get in a decent striker.
    None of our midfield combinations add up.

    I can't think of a 2, 3 or 4 that I'm completely happy with. The balance just isn't there.

    Fabrizio Romano now claiming that Alli has been offered to Real Madrid as a loan, but separate to the Bale deal, and has also been offered around other clubs.

    We’ve not seen that three play together, I think it potentially works providing all are fit. It literally cannot be any worse than anything consisting of Winks and Sissoko either.

    The reports also say that the major point of discussion for Bale is the wages. Madrid want whoever loans him to pay 100%, we apparently won’t budge above 50%. This could get messy.

    We should sign new Ronaldo and new Messi. So that’s Bale and, um, Marcus Edwards?

    Surely it’s better for Madrid to pay 50% of his wages than 100%, that still saves them money

    I imagine it’s getting a balance between paying a loan fee and the wages, Real might want more of a saving over time with the wages whereas we might be willing to do more up front, regardless of the length of the loan.

    Also



    Anyone know who the other six staying home are?

    Bale will not take a pay cut as he wants Madrid to cough up after the way they treated him.
    We can't pay his wages and Madrid are arrogant twats who expect to get everything they want.

    Bale will not be a spurs players due to these 3 things.

    I fear it could be a big stumbling block. It all hinges on how much Bale wants to play and how much Real want his wage, or at least a healthy portion of it, off their books.

    If Madrid can't use him, then their choices are either pay 100% of his wages or pay less than that. Not much of a choice.

    Thats our bargaining chip. As long as Bale holds out to only come to us then it’ll have to work. If he blinks first and says he’s open to going to a club that can afford to pay more or all of his wages on loan then we’re scuppered.

    At a guess...
    Tanganga (injured)
    Aurier (knock)
    Rose (can **** right off)
    Carter Vickers (possible move, also doesn't have a squad number)

    ...oh, and Toby
