Gareth Bale is a Spurs player once more. Well, barring some crossed t’s and dotted i’s. This morning the Welshman took a private jet from Madrid to Luton. When he touched down, he made straight for the nearest golf course Tottenham’s training ground, where he was welcomed by a small band of happy fans:

In a Spurs shirt, Bale did things that made you get out of your seat to pick up your jaw. Such as this…

and this…

and of course this (the performance that started in motion his move to Real)…

But let’s be realistic, the Bale that Spurs are getting back is not the young, freakishly lithe player in the clips above. Not at all. You might argue that even Real didn’t see much of that Bale, so whilst it’s lovely for Spurs to welcome the prodigal son back, it also feels like a (very expensive) trophy signing who won’t actually help the club win trophies. As I’ve said before, I’m more excited by the signing of Sergio Reguilon, a player who absolutely will improve the Spurs line-up.

    Yeah, until he gets signed back by Real if he proves to be any good. If he flops, Real obviously won’t touch him with a bargepole. He might well be a decent signing for a couple of years, but in essence this is short-term planning at it’s finest

    Come on, Bale is not that old. He can still score at least 10 goals this season. When he’s back to full fitness, he will destroy Chelsea’s backline in dramatic fashion. I can’t wait

    Spurs still.need striker and central defender if Spurs got them that will be great squad.
    Dele Ali and Erik Lamela should go
