I'm supposed to believe this man has lost his passion for the game?

Gareth is happy to be here, and that is amazing. So, so cool for not only our club and fans, but for him, too. So excited to see him play.

Looks a lot better than when he was sitting pissed off in the stands for Real Madrid last season doesn’t he! ??

That is the reaction of a boy who is brimming with joy.

Anyone else kinda forgetting that we are actually going to have him playing for us? Just having him celebrating in the stands has been a nice morale boost, almost like he's a club ambassador or something!

Gonna be so surreal when he finally plays. Can't wait. His first goal back for us will be a special moment no doubt.

He is going to be absolutely unplayable at times. If he plays 20+ games I think he will earn us at least 10 points more than we would have got without him.

Please take this as fact.

Haha, exactly. The matches are coming thick and fast, I've forgotten that he's in our squad.

Plus the fact we're starting to play well and get the results, it's becoming an embarrassment of riches.

It's like when you're sailing through a computer game with the more conventional weapons, and you forget that you've also got the game's most powerful gun in your armoury.

Shame we won't see him on the bench this weekend but buzzing to see him after the international break.

I imagine he's absolutely dying to play. Amazing we still have him to come.

Good news, Bale has been left out of the Wales squad for next month's internationals.

Giggs: “Gareth has only just started getting on grass. We’ve had conversations. He’s just not quite right for this camp. Nothing serious, just taken a bit of time to settle down.”

Very good news that he's here for the next two weeks. Shows how focused he is. Smart from Giggs to let him stay. Bale takes international duty very seriously but makes more sense for him to get fit and playing in the PL. Should benefit everyone this way.

Bale not going away with Wales is huge for us. Means he has extra time to get ready for West Ham. Lovely stuff.

It still hasn’t quite sunk in.

Also, Jeff Shrieves really winds me up for some reason. His interview technique is cringeworthy. Gareth did the best he could there.

It's like he slowly builds up and threatens to ask an interesting question but ultimately comes up with something deflatingly crap that I've noticed slightly irks managers in particular

Definitely the right call to not take him away from the training ground. He's no use to them if he's not fit and firing on all cylinders. Tbh they should only care about having him back to top form for the euros in the summer.

I have just watched a compilation of all goals that he scored for RM. His finishing is absurdly good, pinpoint and a cannon of a left foot. Can’t wait to see him smashing a couple of worldies from 30 yards again. I was surprised how many headers he scored as well.
