Great player but his age, wages & struggles to keep fit make him an unattractive PERMANENT transfer. He’s great to have on loan for a season though.
I think the loan deal they got him on was ludicrous and was practically a transfer in all but name. It wasn't a good deal at all. They should have waited for his contract to expire and got him for free though I get the feeling Mourhinio doesn't have time to waste. I certainly don't think they should be paying anything to sign him permanently when they can get him for free if they wait. There's no way he's going back to Real that's for sure.
Do any of you think that Bale has somewhat become worse in recent years? He scored about a dozen goals in almost each season during 2013-2018. Suddenly he's putting out only 2 goals last year, which sounds like the reason Real sent him on loan in the first place. I don't think this is the kind of player that Spurs wants to keep forever.
How can you score goals when he didn't even make the bench half of the time? Real Madrid were foolish to not utilise him when he was fit and Zidane not even having him on the bench when he was available was silly. They only loaned him out because Zidane made it publicly clear he wasn't in his plans so they might as well try recoup some of the ludicrous wages they're paying him to keep the bench warm or play golf.
