Fresh reports from Spain have claimed that Gareth Bale could return to Tottenham Hotspur in a January swap deal involving Christian Eriksen.
Diario Gol understands that Real Madrid would see Spurs taking Bale back as ‘doing them a favour’, with the Welshman increasingly unpopular in the Spanish capital and repeatedly booed by the club’s own supporters.
In return, Real may do us a favour and take Eriksen off our hands before we lose him for nothing when his contract expires at the end of the season.
Isn’t this the sort of thing that infamous partnership agreement from years back was supposed to yield?! That has been binned now of course, but in its place to bind this potential blockbuster transfer together is Jose Mourinho who still has friends in high places at Madrid, according to Diario Gol.
It must be said that Diario Gol is notorious for farfetched transfer stories, but that hasn’t stopped these Spurs fans on Twitter from getting excited.

Imagine if Levy can pull out a deal where we manage to both get rid of Eriksen and bring back Bale in January, stuff of dreams

Please let the rumours of an Eriksen and Bale swap be true..

Would you take a Bale and Eriksen swap deal in January?

Bale is injury prone and not the force he was but if he gives anywhere near the same commitment to Spurs as he does Wales… I’d bite your hand off for this deal.

Bale wants to come home, Eriksen wants a new home…
Get it done
This is honestly the best outcome for all parties. Maybe Levy will pay Bales wage if he doesn’t have to pay a fee.

Again to all footballing gods, please make this happen

I noticed alot of people refer to bale as injury prone.. This is because of his style of play. Running at pace and turning and getting hit alot by opponents. The guy travels at severe pace… Hes exactly the same now as he always was.. He was fit for about 2 thirds of our games… About 200 out of 300… His record for madrid is about the same.. He plays more often than not anyway.. His knocks are just pulled muscles or little niggles hes rarely out for long.. Kanes had worse injuries than bale.. More severe injuries and tears of ligaments.. Bale is still well within his prime
Four champions leagues hes won, and the rest.. Bale is the best welshman ever, son is the best asian ever, kane is the best english ever… A deadly front 3 that would be.. Better than the bindippers
100 million profit from merchandise in one week?!! Who writes this stuff?
😆 he was giving it ‘a go’ back in 2013. Everyone is different. Lineker has always been clever and had gift of the gab. His spanish was pretty fluent but he only picked up some of japanese. Not everyone like him and wenger can be ambassadors of languages. Did hoddle and waddle learn french? Did gazza learn italian? Beckham was known to always have an interpreter at madrid. Funny how the spanish media didnt get on his back. The spanish media are worse than ours.. Bales spanish teacher claims he learns but is shy and introvert and fears making public mistakes… Messi is the same in the barca dressing room, its hi and bye and a few loose mutterings to everyone. Shy and introvert guy… Bale should be judged on his football as thats what his job is… That champs league final, to come off the bench against the scouse and first touch of the ball is to score an overhead kick from 30 yards. Absolute screamer.. His parading run to win the copa del ray… In years to come everyone will be talking about how great a player he really was and all the trophies hes won, not his second or third languages.
Bloodclart! Real talk? I’d be happy for him just to play home games in every competition. Bale at the lane would be wonderful. And in the changing rooms. Gareth stroll in swinging your big dik I mean medals. Winner
They reckon the €100m Juve paid for Ronaldo was repaid within a week from merch sales. Could Bale coming home have the same impact?
Jose banned dem from watching the seven kicks in the balls they took😂
We already have Bale and his name is Son
Wages. Silly. My money’s on China.
Although injury prone cant say i would be disappointed if it happens ,,depends on how much it takes out of our future budget mind.
On champs league news glad to hear Maureen is trying to keep Japhet Tangana happy and wanting him to sign a new contract ,,been with us since aged 11 so proper homegrown. The teams we could face in the next round PSG, Juventus, Barcelona, Leipzig or Valencia ,,a few teams their i dont fancy meeting quite yet.
I wonder if Greeves learnt Italian in the 5 mins he was there. Glen french at Monaco?
Bale will not return to us unless Real subsidise his LUDICRIS wages. Even if he does return, how many games do you see him playing in a season? 20-25? He averages around 40% fitness in SPAIN!! In England we will be lucky to get even close to that. I love Bale, and when fit I would say there are few better in the world, but he is simply never fit enough. I would much rather spend those wages on someone else (I am not a scout, so don’t ask)
When in Rome speak English 😁 natives hate it when English speakers don’t make the effort to learn their language while living in their country.
Spurs golf Wales
This is becoming concerning. Seriously. How many times can the EXACT same bollox be used and be successful before people realise? It’s been every window for the last 3 years?! Bale return blah blah….those social media comments are hilarious. Bunch of goldfish. But if you were Levy and Lewis, why wouldn’t you do it? When the spin works EVERY time.
*learn the language
The Madrid fans don’t love him because unlike Lineker who speaks both fluent Spannish and Japanese no sympathy with me over his current predicament when instead of alienating himself amongst the fans, IMO Bale earning big bucks is the author of his own misfortune for failing to integrate himself withing the spannish culture by making a conscious effort to lean the language when earning over £90,000 a day he could at least give it a go.
Fanciful to think he would take a 75% hit on his wages.
I’m old enough to remember when H was infuriated by “twitter reacts” stories.
Fingers and toes crossed… Bale coming home is literally in my dreams.. Kane with son and bale either side of him… Deadly pace and power and humble as they come. Love bale.. World class and tournament winner. He would really help us compete against the best.. He would feel the love again.. Those madrid fans dont love him like the yiddos do
