Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

[N-T-G]

Could it be as simple as they did everything bar the media stuff yesterday late in to the evening/night. Then sent him away and agreed a time this afternoon for him to come back for the media stuff? He has a family so probably would have wanted to help them settle.

I still believe this is 100% done.

Levy is playing a blinder making us all forget we need another striker after the fan outrage about it last few weeks

[Hotspurious]

Maybe they want to announce he’s coming home at halftime of the match between the two clubs that launched his career.

I never thought we could do it, but Spurs have successfully made signing Gareth Bale boring

I've not doubted the club's ability to do that for a single second.

Reckon this is most likely. Yesterday PM could have been paperwork, training ground tour, meeting Levy, Mourinho etc, and perhaps further technical elements of medical.
Then they ran out of time to get decent photos and videos in daylight. So Reg and Bale probably stayed at the training ground and have been doing the media stuff this morning.

Let’s face it if there was a problem yesterday that even hinted at threatening either deal that news would be out by now. The media love a good transfer meltdown story, especially SSN.

Don’t like simple. Obviously they are signing a striker and working on unveiling an amazing triple signing. ?

 

[Metalhead]

Stinks of a Levy PR stunt
“Sorry, we tried”

I reckon we are going to have to start up a conspiracy version of a swear box. A one pound donation every time should cover expenses for SC.

Or that. ?

4pm then

 

[Clark28]

If the club honestly believes that I’m sad enough to stay up until 2am for ANOTHER night while waiting for the announcement




Then they’re absolutely right

 

[ukdy]

They want SSN coverage to be all about this..... I can't see them interrupting Soccer Saturday while Jeff and the 3pm games are in action.

 

[paulbag]

the socials have been very silent all day, no match preview, no best 5 goals against southampton, no mention of the under 18s beating arsenal 2-0 so im thinking theyre trying to go all out with this announcement and the whole media team are working on it

 

[cliff jones]

I can see this dribbling into tomorrow, in case we’re shit at Soton - bottom of the table but here comes the cavalry!

Just turn on tweet notifications for the official account and enjoy the rest of your weekend with your phone nearby! It'll happen when it happens.

West Brom screwed that up getting beaten 5-2.

Best not to qualify that with a date

Thank you, just did that.

Sky Sports News means nothing, it's audiance share is microscopic.

Edit: And real people don't give a fuck about it
