Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

TheVoiceofReason · Sep 19, 2020

The club are just trying to maximise the marketing potential of a global superstar signing, it’s not like we’ve signed Jack Clarke here, its a massive statement the club need to make correctly.

How people are getting personally offended by the delay is a bit mental.

Fans and media were not eagerly anticipating Davies signing the way we are Bale.

It's strange this is taking so long to announce.

..and if I was in charge of the release I'd keep the tension building for maximum exposure - anytime before midday.

Never has your name been so apt.

Yeah, although I wouldn't be surprised if the players switched sides a lot during games.

Oh absolutely. Even if he’s lost a lick of pace he’ll still have more than enough to get round the outside of most right backs in this league.

Don't think anybody is offended. Just concerned something happened we're not privvy to.

Its myfitnesspal ?

Telling you that you've been sitting down immovable for 36 hours?

I'm not concerned, I just want to get on with my life and return to civilisation :cry:

I think what’s happened is that instead of an announcement video, they’ve made an announcement film that lasts 2 and a half hours. It’s a whodunnit called The Murderer Who Signed For Spurs and stars Spurs supporting actors like Tom Hardy and Jude Law.... and it reveals Bale at the end as THE MURDERER WHO SIGNED FOR SPURS!

So even if it’s released at 11, we won’t know Bale has signed until around 130pm. Relax and enjoy the movie.

Well I can't enjoy it now since you've ruined the ending. Thanks a lot. Pal.

Totally this. I know it’s done. But I would like to spend more than 30seconds not attached to my phone this weekend if possible!

If Bale really is injured and out for a month I’d not be surprised in the least if his £1m of wages we‘re paying in that time is being renegotiated over.

Something isn't right with this. He's been in training ground for nearly 24 hours ffs and part of his medical took place in Madrid.

I'm getting a bit worried now.

I fear you’re right. Reports claiming we weren’t aware of his injury and medical has to be taken once more, and this strange delay all together is not a good sign. I can tell you that.

or take a leaf out of the Kane gender reveal playbook...

A ball is placed on the spot. In the distance we see a fluid sack suspended from a crossbar. The ball is struck and hits it, it breaks spilling amniotic fluid and a naked Bale onto the goal line. Levy approaches and wipes the gum from Bale's eyes. There is silence. Ominous silence. Then Bale crys out. He lives.

Post of the week ?

Mourinho obviously put them in there with levy, who he's been keeping locked up since last week's loss

They already did that at Chelsea. Don't want to copy them.

Can’t believe some are actually having a meltdown over an announcement, jheeez

wayneg · Sep 19, 2020

The state of some fans here. The deal is done. Every ITK has said that, the reason no announcement just yet - we dont know, there could be any number of reasons why. People need to chill out.

I wonder what time the Tottenham U18s play the Arsenal U18s? Because I doubt they'd announce Bale and Reguilon during them tweeting updates about that game. My opinion is we will announce them this evening around 5pm.
