Daniel just can’t help himself can he?
From dan kp

“Bale and Carlos Vinicius, meanwhile, are both loan deals with limited risk attached, even if Bale's wages will cost roughly £10m for the season - Levy successfully knocking off a £1m following the medical when it became clear the 31-year-old would not be fit for a month.”

Imagine Real called it off then and there.

It's like waiting for Christmas as a kid waiting for the full team to make their first outing:

Lloris
Aurier Toby (or whoever your preferred defender is) Dier Reg
PEH
Lo Celso Ndombele
Bale Kane Son
Hurry up international break.

Jose: "Gareth (Bale) is not injured anymore and will hopefully be back for the next couple of matches."

Reckon Gareth will be on the bench for quite a while and restricted to cameo appearances, last game he played in was in June , since then unused sub on bench, will he be up to the physical challenge of the PL as opposed to La Liga ? .

He played 90 minutes a month ago today for Wales.

let’s hope moyes is back in the ground. Watch Pearce shit himself as bale starts, scores a 1st half hat trick and we go on to burn the gypsy caravan down.

I think you're slightly underestimating his natural athleticism. The guy is a freak and probably would have excelled at whatever sport he chose. Granted he's 31, but you don't become a carthorse over night and we aren't expecting 80 yard sprints anymore.

I can see him coming off the bench against West Ham but nailing down the position from then onwards (minus the first few midweek games).

Still shy and gets embarrassed to big himself up. I like that in a player who has played with and against the best and scored beautiful goals that won the champion’s league in far from his ideal situation. Real Madrid should bow their heads in shame and I really hope he becomes the exciting player he was again and they have to stare down the barrel of karma.

I always feel Mourinho will start with the best team for that game and the next game in mind. No nonsense from him approach. If Bale is ready, I think Mourinho will start him even if he plays 45-60 minutes.
