OK.
COB's & KNOB's
Cult of Bale vs Known Naysayers of Bale

Many of the KNOB's have already acknowledged themselves as such.

I consider myself a more of a COB.
As long as there is even a glimmer of hope to sign him, I'll hang on to the notion.
Why?
Conservatively, he's a world top 10 player.
And there is no one else in his class in terms of stature, ability, & marketability, within a subjective top 10 list, that we could even "hope" to get. Therefore, if there is a means to getting him, we'd have to try.
Levy didn't put that clause in there for nothing. He had the foresight to do so because there's a reason.
And now Bale is seemingly unhappy thus giving us hope.

He knows that he would be welcomed & worshiped here.
He could bring that 'special something' to take this young team growing in prominence to the next level.
That is almost undeniable.
If he were to lead us to a League or CL Title, it would grant him even greater legendary status amongst us. It would be a far greater accomplishment than going to a moneybag / plastic club & winning there.

Granted, there would have to be some sort of act of benevolence or concessions on Bale's part towards us (ie wages / pay cut).
Saying that, nowhere have I read or heard that he wouldn't do such a thing.
In fact, I've read the opposite. That he could accept less in order to play regularly. Do I believe everything I read or hear? No.
But, there's that glimmer again.

Furthermore, I don't believe anyone is going to pay him what he gets at RM.
So he'll either stay or he'll take a pay cut anywhere else he may go.

How unlikely is his signing with Spurs? Quite.

But he hasn't signed elsewhere just yet so that glimmer is still there so I remain a COB.
COB?

I dunno, sounds corny.

Zidane announcement at 1pm today.

If he leaves then I'd imagine Bale stays 100%. I'd also be shitting it over Poch regardless of the new deal :nailbiting:

Haha I didn't realise that my jokes were that subtle (or perhaps terrible).


Oh dear god, I've just read your post again & realised my monumental fuck up
