Tottenham fans on Twitter have been debating whether or not to re-sign Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale, after The Times revealed that the Spanish side would be willing to allow the Welshman to leave for free just to get him off the wage bill.

Los Blancos are reportedly trying to get rid of him, and he was coldly left on the bench in the last game of the season without having the chance to say goodbye - it is a cruel way to treat a player who has been pivotal in winning four Champions League titles, a Copa del Rey success in which Bale scored the winner in the final and a league title.

He is still undoubtedly a world-class player, and would do a job for Mauricio Pochettino - his astonishing £650,000-a-week wages are a huge stumbling block, however.

Being able to sign a player of Bale's pedigree for free would be an opportunity too good for the Champions League finalists to ignore.
