Charlie Austin has questioned on talkSPORT how Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho is going to react to Gareth Bale’s comments. Bale has caused quite a stir whilst on international duty by claiming that he plans to return to Real Madrid in the summer and suggesting that he used Spurs to build-up his fitness. Ex-QPR striker Austin suggested that Bale made a mistake with his comments. “They (Spurs fans) didn’t want to hear Gareth Bale say that,” said Austin. “There was excitement there (when he first arrived). But they weren’t getting the Bale of five years ago and I think they knew that." On whether Bale has used Tottenham: “He was giving the best opportunity for himself and his country to perform in this year’s Euros. He might have only had Tottenham on the table and he has accepted that. He thought he may get more game time at Tottenham than he would have at Real Madrid – but, for me, Spurs have the Bale of now and not of five years ago. “If the Euros didn’t happen then he wouldn’t have moved. But Tottenham have used him because he was available. A few (Spurs fans) will have a problem – it’s the wrong time (to make those comments) and they still have a League Cup final coming up. You don’t know how Jose is going to react. How’s Jose going to react?”
