Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

[Wheeler Dealer]

Bale and Lamela should have a mini golf tournament or something to decide who gets 11.

Think Bale will take 16

They would never finish a round without either one pulling up with an injury!

 

[Clark28]

Anyway, seeing Bale and Kane standing by corner flag, arms aloft, and screaming with joy after Bale as made an exquisite outside-of-the-foot cross and Kane has volleyed it in quite literally brings tears of happiness.

I've been thinking about this too, Kane, Bale and Sonny all celebrating together, the best attacking lineup we've had in how many years (maybe ever?)

 

[WorthATry]

You could be right

1+8=9
2+9=11

I'm sure there was someone in Italy who had the + on their shirt...

Ivan Zamorano after Ronaldo joined

 

[mrboombarrakoomba]

He definitely is. Welcome home

Wakanda sorcery is this!?

 

[Wadec]

Left the training ground ?

 

[Tucker]

When did we last sign a player with anywhere near the profile of Bale? Was it Klinsmann, or even further back?

 

[Indisguise]

I think SC's servers are probably going to explode tomorrow if and when this gets announced.

I suppose after Alex Morgan for the women’s side, Levy had to do something of similar magnitude for the men’s side. I just didnt think it would only take him a few days to not only equal it but eclipse it. We’re now on day 3 of Bale back to Spurs being the talk of the football world.

vdv?

Yep. I dont expect to getting on here much tomorrow. The traffic could be muuuuuch bigger than deadline day. Hope the servers are running smoothly?

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Could he wear 29, bit like Defoe with 18 cos he couldn't get the 9 shirt

In fairness, 18 has been far better for our strikers than 8. Klinsnann, Defoe, Kane all successes with it. Even bloody Iversen wasn’t totally useless.

Zamorana. He was number 9, but Baggio signed and took the number 10, so Ronaldo demanded the 9, and so Zamorano took 1+8.

They also had Recoba as the best paid player on earth at that time, and Vieri wearing 32 because he cost £32m. We can’t even get Troy Deeney in!

If there are flighing over today, and the medicals are all done, this will be announced today surely?

 

[Matrix]

Playing in the Midland Football League..... Nope I haven't heard of it either, still only 26. Hasn't played a game in 3 years though.

He played in Ledleys testimonial.

 

[Tucker]

vdv?

As much of a class player as he was, I don’t think he had the same profile as Bale. Maybe even Klinsmann didn’t, idk.

 

[samspurs92]

A&C hinted this could happen.

 

[Indisguise]

Nah, that would wreck quite possibly the best Funtime Friday ever.

 

[RikkiRocket]

I’m sooooo looking forward to be able to resurrect “you’ve got bale” text to my mates as Bale rescues us with a 40 yd screamer in the 95th minute ?

I’m easily pleased.

 

[wadewill]

Klinsmann did and in a time when it was pretty alien for any World Class foreign player to play in England.

Jurgen was a much bigger transfer in my opinion.

I’ll never forget hearing that for the first time on the radio while driving through Dagenham

 

[matty74]

Both players will fly to London tomorrow on the same private jet to sign for spurs according to sky sports news

 

[bloodzeed]

Think I'll have a little cry in the corner when he signs
