By the way, the podcaster who tweeted about the medical has since deleted it.

EDIT: He deleted the first tweet where he claimed to be "trolling". and is now attempting to explain his way out of it to make it sound normal.

We call that a “Lyall Special” around these parts.

His mate windy is a member on here and he's the extra inch podcaster. Can't see that going down well with their listenership

The 'failed medical' line is just the club delivering maximum effect.

All hype about Bale until it reaches critical mass....

...then leak that it may actually about to fail spectacularly to draw in all the gooners and west ham fans, raising their amusement and blind hope, they're reading the insults and feeling bursting to gloat and then...

...announced.

Get your moneys from rival misery

One thing I’ve never understood, and I’m not trying to be rude to any particular posters here, is why we have to announce something in line with the USA being “awake” etc - as if in 3 hours time they won’t still find out, or someone won’t say “oh did you hear that Spurs signed Bale earlier” - America would never wait for the UK to wake up for “maximum media exposure.”

I'm 100% calling that there will be a shot of Bale, Morgan and Reguilon all together, one in each kit, arms folded staring down the camera.

Just a thought. Could it be that Alex Morgan will be introduced at the same time and it's all being timed for the US and U.K. locations together?

I seriously doubt it, I know Alex Morgan is a big name in the U.S and a few of us know who she is but she is overshadowed immensely by Bale on the global scale. I know she has a lot of followers but most of those are U.S citizens who only tune into the football world during a world cup. It'd be best to let her PR be seperate to Bale.
