Think Bale (along with James and Thiago) will be a top signing.
He looked shackled at Madrid, inhibited. With Spurs the hand brake will be off and he will be in full flow again (if he can stay fit obviously). Thought when Cristiano left Madrid Bale would suddenly take on the mantle as the man, never happened. Not learning the language and showing very little interest in integrating into the culture of the club he always looked an outsider, including on the field. There were great individual moments, but that’s all they were, moments. With Spurs he ran games. He looks happy in all the footage of him over the past few days. He’s going somewhere he will be appreciated (though much of the lack of this at Madrid was his own fault). Be interesting to see how Kane reacts no longer being the main man, because as good as Kane is, a prime Bale is a notch above.
