Honestly it's unreal how signing Gareth Bale is a negative in some form to anyone. Imagine him with Kane and Eriksen. That's without the other attacking threat that plays there with them in regards Alli, Son, Lucas etc.... makes so much space and the fear in opposing defences when he is either running at them or shooting. Unreal and his signing a lone says huge things in what were gonna be fighting for next season.
It’s not a negative, it’s jusr requires appropriate caution

Have never wanted a signing more. The sky really would be the limit if we could add Bale to our already excellent team. We know what we are getting character & performance wise.
It's making me very meh about other linked signings (in forward positions) that would previously be seen as exciting that's how good he is.
This is the one we need to really push us on in the immediate future. We have enough potential & young talent.

He was my childhood hero, even have a signed photo of the “Taxi for Maicon” night. Would be a dream signing not just for nostalgia but he still is world class, I think people are underestimating how good he still is.

Trepidation i have is that no second signing was ever as good as the first (in my memory).

Love him back but would rather we got a new bale at the start of their career. Would be over the moon if he joined us though.

Bale, Gazza, Hoddle, Greaves, Ginola are one of a kind players that don't come around often.

I don't wanna get my hopes up, but thinking about the first game of the season....

players in the tunnel, Lloris, with Kane standing behind, they start walking out,

who is that with the man bun behind Kane?

Think the team being announced an hour before might spoil that surprise.

If he does come back, I hope we announce it WWE style. I want to see Bale come running into the new WHL with a steel chair in hand, before he decks whoever we are playing!

Hoping that if this comes off and he does return, DL has in his contract the man bun has to go.

He can have whatever haircut he wants if he starts curling those late winners into the top corner again.

Ps short back and sides if not.

Would get a better reception if he took Sissoko out with the chair.

For me it would go a step futher...

Next Saturday evening, Bale scores the winner as Real Madrid beat Liverpool and lift the CL Trophy.
First game at the new stadium we play Liverpool and out steps Bale to make his second debut for us.

Like the return of Y2J years ago, with all the save us vignettes, first one was good but after that you knew who it was for weeks and weeks.

We could do the same and build it up over a few weeks with teasers, Welsh dragons, Welsh Wizard, the amazing hair, the silky skills.

Then reveal we have signed Joe Allen from Stoke on a 4 year deal.

And scores a hat trick
