Well if that's how you feel you can all wait for the bloody plane spotters nex time. :whistle:

Trix: do players generally use their own attorneys or reps to prepare contracts/loans/transfers? Or is there a standard set of docs used across football that can be adjusted as needed for certain stipulations?

Just wondering how contracts and the like can be reviewed so quickly. Im guessing that’s a ton of paperwork to read through and it seems it would take days to review if each set is different.

Mainly, I agree, but I can't wait for this one personally. I quite like the idea of him casually strolling through the training ground, wheeling his golf bag behind him.

I want P Diddy - coming home playing as he walks out onto the pitch at the stadium.

I know it really shouldn't get to me but I do really hate this media narrative against us.

How can signing Bale on a 1-year loan deal with £250k a week wages be such a massive risk? However, Arsenal who just gave Aubameyeng a 3-year deal on the same wages, have done extremely well? I think a lot of people are forgetting that Bale is YOUNGER and a 4x champions league winner. He can also win games on his own, Aubamayeng can't do that.

I know which one I would rather have....can't wait for us to make them eat their words.

It's probably due to the media shitshow around Bale and the lack of matches over the past season or two. Where Aubameyeng has been consistently playing in the prem for that same time. All it would take is a few great matches (Look at James against us last week) and suddenly people are like oh, he can still play.

"Please go to Spurs. Please go to Spurs. Please go to Spurs.

Imagine Jose‘s reaction to his defensive work rate. Imagine Alli’s temper tantrums when Bale shoots instead of passes, imagine the teams disgust at him earning 5x their wage to occupy a space in the physio room. Oh god please let it happen."


"Spurs getting shafted

Thank god we didn't fall into this trap"



Goodness i can smell the sourness from manchester even though im in Singapore

Funny, I was just thinking how none of their front three would get ahead of our front three once Bale signs.

Weird that it could still conceivably be a one-year loan, two-year loan or permanent. Nobody seems to actually know.

Personally think a 2-year loan deal would be ideal.

Or a wide angle shot of the pitch which then zooms in to a 1mx1m patch............and then a golf ball lands bang in the middle.

A lot of people don’t actually pay attention to what’s going on in Spain besides reading the headlines and have bought the Madrid spin hook, line, and sinker.

:singing:
Zidane tried to bin him, and look what it did
He's turned from galactico back to a yid
He likes to play golf, and he hates Real Madrid
The thing he loves most is being a yid

I sincerely doubt negotiations with Bale are contingent on board ratification of announcement video styles on twitter and Mourinho's veto over them. But then again I'm very naive.
Whoosh

That's probably because most of them are bound to be across the Causeway in Malaysia
