Perhaps desperate for a big move to actually happen in this summer's transfer window, several news outlets yesterday jumped on Tottenham's removal of Gareth Bale's picture from the club's Twitter background as a sign that he is on his way to Real Madrid, an image that also included recent departure Clint Dempsey.
It was a tedious story in a summer defined by tedious transfer sagas. Clearly fed up with the rumours, Spurs took to Twitter to clarify the issue, with increasing sarcasm.
Changing our Twitter background seems to have created a bit of a frenzy. With Clint leaving the Club, it was time for an image change #THFC

Gareth was on that background too. Did anyone notice? We change our social media backgrounds regularly and feature all players. #THFC

We might change our Twitter background image again - hope nobody reads too much into it. WARNING: another change is coming! #THFC
