Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest transfer news concerning Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale.
This comes after Spurs-focused Twitter page @LastWordOnSpurs shared a post relaying news originally published in an article by Sky Sports.
The article claims that fellow Premier League side Manchester United are considering a loan move for Bale if they ultimately fail in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho during this current transfer window.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Spurs fans, who were not shy in airing their thoughts on this latest news surrounding the former Lilywhites winger.
Here’s a sample of Spurs fans responding to the post:

If he ends up there on loan and not here – that really will be the end for Levy and his merry puppets. There won’t be any excuses left

Bale signed to the north London club back in 2007 from Southampton for a fee of £13.23 million. After making a total of 203 appearances for Spurs, in which he managed to score 56 goals and provide 58 assists, the Welshman made a mega-money move to Real Madrid in a deal worth a reported fee of £90.9 million in 2013.
Heartbreaking this. I’m sure we’ll hear the usual nonsense that we tried but couldn’t get it done

Since joining the Spanish club, Bale has made 251 appearances, scoring 105 goals and providing 68 assists along the way, winning numerous trophies during his time in Spain.
I’m so fed up of supporting ENIC’s Spurs.

Recently, Bale, who is valued at £25.2 million (as per Transfermarkt), has been linked with a return to Tottenham after falling out of favour with Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane.
If Levy let’s this happen I’m retiring as a Spurs fan, sick of the club

Now that this news of United’s interest in signing Bale on loan has made its way onto Twitter, this paved the way for lots of Spurs fans to share their thoughts on the possible deal.
If Bale ends up in Man United, Levy must be sacked.#COYS

Would you be disappointed if Bale joined Man United?
Yes
No
ENIC out, if this happens.

Looking at the replies to this post from this group of Spurs fans, it would appear that they would not be happy if United managed to sign Bale before the current transfer window shuts.
Taking into account his impressive goals and assists record during his time at Spurs, it’s no wonder these fans want to see him make a return to their club instead of United.
