Jose Mourinho remains coy on Gareth Bale transfer possibility

Jose Mourinho didn’t say much when asked about signing Real Madrid star Gareth Bale.

Mourinho was speaking to the press after the 2-1 loss to his former club Manchester United. Dele Alli scored a fantastic goal but Marcus Rashford’s brace got the home side the win.

Tottenham weren’t poor in that game, but that cutting edge in the final third was missing.

Mourinho was told about Bale’s comments from earlier where he expected Tottenham to win trophies under the new manager.

The manager thanked Bale for those words and replied to a question about the Welshman joining Spurs (h/t Football.london):

“Come on, I don’t need to answer.”

Bale has had his problems at Real Madrid with the fans and the manager. Zinedine Zidane hasn’t seen eye to eye with the Welsh winger while the fans have also booed him in the past.

The 30-year-old could be a smart addition to the team, but his age and durability is a problem.

It will be interesting to see who we can sign in the winter window. Spurs have been low-key spenders in the past but that could change with Mourinho at the helm.

Defence a big issue for Spurs

There are pressing concerns for the manager though. We have leaked goals this season and have conceded twice in every game under the new boss.

Mourinho is known for making the defence almost impenetrable, and that is something he needs to work on.

The loss also put us nine points behind Chelsea in the race for the fourth spot. Our next clash is a home game against Burnley before our final Champions League group game against Bayern Munich.
