You'll do well to finish 6th this season as well.We finished 6th with an absolutly injury ravaged season, while changing managers.

17m would be the net figurE. Gross he makes 28.8m per year.That doesn’t sound right. Thought he was on 600k per week? 17m Euros seems less than what Sanchez was making here.
Exactly this. 30m to loan a 31 year old for a season. Crazy. No doubt he’ll have some spectacular moments, he’s still a very good player. But I doubt he’ll play more than 25-30 games, and Mourinho’s approach is so stifled, he won’t spend enough time in the areas where he can do the most damage.Covering his massive 28-31M € salary (depending on which figure you believe) to loan Bale for a year. Spurs would be absolutely mental to agree to that. Mourinho might not even be their coach in a month's time.
I think Bale is a great Mourinho type signing and if he can stay fit, provides Spurs a big new source of goals and assists. Plus you suffered with injuries to Kane and Son at same time last season so this gives you deeper cover.Jesus its toxic in here, ok, Bale will be a flopp and be our Sanchez, its nailed on, . No point discussing it at all.
Bale is not the player he used to be. His breathtaking acceleration and top speed are a thing of the past and on the ball he was never the most technically gifted player which only gets accentuated by his physical decline. And we haven't even talked about all his injuries. Sure, he'll score a handful of incredible goals with his left foot but aside from that he will offer very little.Typical Jose Mourinho transfer. Unfortunately, I think he would do well for them. Everyone seems to give him shit but he is still a quality player. It's not his fault that he is being disrespected at Real Madrid and what can you do if you manager shafts you out? Of course, you're not going to care.
I dont see him as a play every match player anymore, those days are probably behind him. I dont think you can expect him to play 2-3 games a week for 90mins, but not a bad squad rotation player to have that is for sure. The caveat is if he can remain fit, a big question mark there.He hasn't played much for 2 seasons and considering his history of injuries, I am wondering if his body can handle the demands of the premier league.
Yeah, but when Kane is on the pitch everything runs through him. United last season had a genuine front-3 (Rashford, Martial, Greenwood), whereas Spurs play to Kane, so understandably he scores more. I'm not saying Kane is rubbish, but I think he peaked about 2 years ago, he could well return to his best - but based on 19/20 I'm unconvinced.Vardy won the golden boot with 23 goals and Kane scored 18 in the PL last season while playing 445 minutes less, he also still scored more than Martial and Rashford.
I really like Son too, and would happily take him at Utd - but Bale is like Kane in that he peaked a while ago, is injury prone, and needs to demonstrate that he is capable of regaining anything close to his best form. I would have taken Bale on loan if Real paid the vast majority of his wages, but I'm really glad we didn't go for him at the reported wages etc..I like Son a lot, and would be my first choice backup backup, but my main front three would be:
Martial Kane Bale
Where did they get the money to pay two-thirds of a million a week to one player?Spurs getting shafted
Thank god we didn't fall into this trap
That is true. I am not saying he is a bad signing. I meant he might not really be the solution to the issues at Spurs at the moment.I dont see him as a play every match player anymore, those days are probably behind him. I dont think you can expect him to play 2-3 games a week for 90mins, but not a bad squad rotation player to have that is for sure. The caveat is if he can remain fit, a big question mark there.
RM will have to stump up what 300k to 350k of his wages with Spurs picking up the last 200k?
I’d easily prefer the latter group.Good signing for spurs.
Kane, son, Lucas and bale > Rashford, martial, greenwood, James by a country mile!
Robben was 25 when he moved to Bayern and was a top professional. Bale is 31 and is a professional golf player.Remember when people laughed at Madrid and then Bayern for buying Arjen Robben as he was so injury prone at Chelsea? Well Bayern managed to get a lot of games out of him, so the injury prone tag cant always be a true indicator of a state of a players physical limits. Mourinho is known through his training to generally not have as many injuries to players under him as other managers. It might be down to players not being pushed physically to the extreme or his insistance that all training exercises involves the ball.
Spurs never replaced ercisson, and lack that ability to unlock a defence that he provided, bale will provide that. I think mourino will use him in a 10 role behind kane and leave the wings to moura and son.
Fergie bought in players who were in their 30s for their experience and knowledge. Mourinho brought in zlatan who was well in his 30s. So i dont really see a downside on this deal for sours other than the financial contribution.
I think it could work well for both parties, even with mourinhos conservative football. If they qualify for CL at end if season then it would have been worth it.
Reguilion as well will give them some much need speed on at least one of their fullback slots. Good signings for spurs i think.
We aren't paying anywhere near that.If we aren’t getting Sancho I would have taken a chance on him. However the fact Spurs are paying his full salary they welcome to him. He’s never worth £600k a week even for a one year loan.
Dele Alli is utter garbage. He was playing out of his skin under Poch the way SAF had players like Cleverly playing out of his. Alli is overhyped and had one top season, debatably two. His true level has showed the last year or two.This will be very good signing for Spurs (depends on what % of wages they pay), they will have Kane, Bale, Son as their attackers which will be too good to handle for most teams.
If they play 4-2-3-1 then add Alli to that team, it will be very good.
His scored 20 goals 2x in the last 8 seasons. I wouldn’t be so certain. I reckon he’d be a good rotational player.I reckon Bergwijn and Lucas limit his game time in the end.Will be rejuvenated back at Spurs. 20 goals a season incoming.
Son is a better LW than Martial there’s no argument.Vardy won the golden boot with 23 goals and Kane scored 18 in the PL last season while playing 445 minutes less, he also still scored more than Martial and Rashford.

Son is much better at LW than Martial. It would be between Kane & Martial for the CF soot, depending on how you would want to play. I would probably go with Martial myself, as he adds more to the build up I feel & brings more players into the game. Kane is more lethal but goes missing much more. Son is a must start.Vardy won the golden boot with 23 goals and Kane scored 18 in the PL last season while playing 445 minutes less, he also still scored more than Martial and Rashford.

Their midfield is sort of non existent though. And Delli Ali I don't think is great for them either.This will be very good signing for Spurs (depends on what % of wages they pay), they will have Kane, Bale, Son as their attackers which will be too good to handle for most teams.

They have Lo Celso who has done very well. Lo Celso, Hojbjerg, Sissoko/Winks is a decent midfield.Their midfield is sort of non existent though. And Delli Ali I don't think is great for them either.
Son sure but Kane needs service. Adding Bale there is good on paper but it screams like a team of individuals rather than that of any sort of chemistry. It's a reminiscent of his time with us. Just playing good players together without a game plan (although it was probably worse with us, because he rarely played Rashford and Martial together).
True, they look void of all fitness like we did under him. Whether that'll change in a few games I'm not sure but to me, they looked like the Jose side at United, not much pressing across the pitch and sat in to make it harder for the opposition to break them down.The way spurs played against everton, they have much deeper problem that won't be solved by Bale.
Yeah, it's more the Jose point. On paper another manager will maximize their potential but Jose is proving out of touch with them, for the time being at least.They have Lo Celso who has done very well. Lo Celso, Hojbjerg, Sissoko/Winks is a decent midfield.
Yeah, Jose might be the reason why they wont play to their potential.
