Real would have to pay us 24m to take Bale.
But they would have to pay 48m in wages if he stays.
Only way we could do a deal for Bale is if it's similar to the one we did with City for Adebayor (them paying a % of his wages).
I was gonna post the same.
Levy pulled off a sensational deal to get Ade.
I wouldn't bet my house on it but Bale to return is starting to be believable to me.

Guess we'll ride with Parrott for the remainder of the season
His squawka stats are amazing.

Fucking hell. Snapping up Bergwijn but playing goldilocks over a backup striker.

Tottenham fucking Hotspur, man.

 
So if we don’t get a striker then..

Lloris
Aurier - Alderweireld - Sanchez - Davies
Winks
Ndombele - Lo Celso
Lucas - Son - Bergwijn
Remember the days when we had 5 English players starting. Crazy.
 
Good luck to him. Stuck it to Levy, But needs to improve his grammar :)
Absolute legend.

226 games

51 goals

Only Spurs player to reach 50 goals AND assists in the Premier league.

And had the moral decency to tell Levy to fuck off when he tried to cash this Legend in at Man Utd last year.

The way some of our so called fans have treated Christian Eriksen these past 6 months has been nothing short of shameful
 
I see the oracles on SC are getting it all right, Piatek on his way to Berlin for a transfer to Hertha.

Gotta say, I went totally cold and this idea having watched Milan last night.

I don’t know about you but when I see someone put on the spurs shirt I want them to give 100% , anything less is shameful, he didn’t give a shit about the club the last 18 months and was just counting down the days till he could have his big pay day in the sun , fans who pay a lot of money to watch the club have every right to be pissed off of a player isn’t putting in a graft, players can be out of form granted, but when they don’t even put in the effort it’s a total disrespect to the fans
 
Thought I'd do a summary of the squad based upon CL rules - after Walker-Peters loan announced.

All players are categorised as Overseas Trained unless they are shown as Club trained or trained by another Club affiliated to the Football Association (Assn) or under 21 (u21)

Gk’s
- Lloris, Gazzaniga
CB’s - Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sanchez, Tanganga, (u21) Foyth (u21)
FB’s
- Aurier, Rose (Club), Davies
CM’s - Ndombele, Gedson Winks (Club), Dier, Sissoko, Wanyama, Skipp (u21)
AM’s -
Dele (Assn), Son, Moura, Lamela. Lo Celso, Sessegnon (Assn) , Bergwijn
FWD’s – Kane (Club) , Parrott

Summary
Club Trained - 3 (Kane, Rose, Winks)
Assn Trained - 2 (Dele, Sessegnon)
Overseas Trained - 18
u21's - 3 (Tanganga, Skipp, Foyth)

ATM there are 18 Overseas Trained players - one more than the maximum of 17 allowed. Of course that includes Parrott, and given we want him to sign a new contract, we probably want to include him in the squad, even though he doesn't play much.

If we sign a new striker, its likely that Parrott will go on loan. But that also means we will still have one more overseas trained player than allowed.

So options ATM will be :
1. Leave Sissoko out of CL squad as he will be injured until April, so probably only available for semi final and final if we get that far or
2. Leave Wanyama out of the CL squad - but whether that has implications arising from his contract I am unclear.

Summary also shows we have room in the squad to sign 3 club and Assn. players without a problem - but overseas trained players may cause us problems unless we plan to exclude some players from CL squad

With differing rules for PL squad, Davies will qualify as Home Grown (HG) and Parrott qualifies as an u21, meaning we would have 16 overseas trained players - and space for up to one more.
