or he could have a place next to Kane on the hospital bed.

The return Bale rumours always seemed foolish to me. He’s 31, injury prone, and for the most part, his heart doesn’t seem to in football anymore. Sure most of the Real Madrid fans are spoiled sh*theads but I’d be too after seeing some of Bale’s actions and comments.

You could argue that bale won them the CL by coming on against Pool and changing the game, And they turned against him like he was a flop , any way it’s never going to happen with him coming back to us and it’s just a pipe dream but could you imagine having him on our bench coming on to change the game for the last half hour, again it’s never going to happen but it’s nice to dream!

To an extent. It hints he isn't in London about to make an appearance on Spurs TV anytime today.

I don't think anyone expected that.

Though it's also not hard to fly him to London over the weekend and get a deal done next week.

Its not like he'll be available for Liverpool if it was rushed through.

Flying commercial he could leave by 2.40pm on Sunday and be in London by 8pm. And I assume he'd fly in on a private jet which would cut down travel time even more.

It’s really mind blowing how badly run Milan is. Piatek will be offloaded to give space to a 50 year coming from America Ibrahimovic. Truly horrifying planing

They've been making stupid decisions for near over a decade now and preferring stars with big names than building an actual future.

Remember when they released Pirlo because they thought he couldn't cut it anymore?

I think the Ibrahimovic deal was made partly to appease their fans. It makes little sense to bring someone like him in a team like theirs.

In part to appease the fans. In part because they don't have a senior locker room leader in the team. The closest they had is Romagnoli.

A running theory is that they are offloading players because there is a new owner looking to invest (their 4th or 5th in 5 years) but only if they cut some into their FFP deficit.

Heard about the new owner theory. It was rather weird what happened to them in the last few years in terms of ownership.

The reason I'm not that excited about Piatek is that it looks like one of those transfers that can go either way. The guy has proven himself and has potential, but there's also the chance he might be a bust.

On the other hand, those who are already bashing him should realise it's January and it's tricky to bring in new players that can improve the team, let alone make star signings.

That’s the same for every transfer. Ndombele could still fail, Lo Celso might. Aguero could have failed at City.. Every transfer is a risk.
