No fucking way did he have a medical in Madrid that wasn't comprehensive. If they did then we should not be paying whoever they are.
I mean a full medical can easily be over 2-3 days. Yes, if the deadline is approaching they skip out on, well, most stuff but in this case, with Bale's history, we will probably want to be very thorough, know about his conditioning etc. Like, it absolutely wouldn't surprise me if some was done in Madrid, and then finished off here. It isn't about 'not being comprehensive' it is about how these things take a lot of time.

Why would the club make a comment on this when they haven't said anything on it so far?

People got worked up and excited that it is happening and want to know everything before it's happened.
But they have? Pitt-Brooke said he’d been told no announcement tonight half hour ago. Why couldn’t we have had that communication earlier is what I’m saying.

I don’t see any cause for concern - Reg hasn’t been announced either...

It’s still gonna be EPIC seeing our boy back in the shirt!

(I’m not better than anyone having a tantrum - I just did mine in the garden rather than online... feel much better now!) :)

Journalist sensationalism at its finest:
"Not 100% match fit and ready to perform at his best for about a month" --------> "Out injured for a month"

By tomorrow some reputable media source will be claiming Real flogged us a cripple who will never be able to walk again. :bored:

Probably because the club have been busy working on trying to finalizing the transfer of 2 players...

It’s pretty smart from a business standpoint, Spurs bedwetters will click panicking and other fans will click hoping for gloating ammunition

We all get its no biggy.

But it does leave alot on unanswered questions. Why was it not announced today? I'm sure they planned to, it's just not worked out as planned but of course people are going to question why...

And also why did they not state it earlier. Doesnt come across right.

If i was tbst SSN bloke I'd be fucking fuming...

Just to add, we were told this from two different sources, the first at 7pm. We weren't 100% confident and thought we'd look like idiots if we posted "tomorrow" and then he was announced minutes later so we left it, then Dragon1 seemed confident it'd be tonight still. Second source confirmed it'll be announced tomorrow.

Come on. Obviously I know that. As if there wouldn’t be someone free for 2 minutes to let someone know. Anyway, like I said it won’t matter in the days to come. Just my own impatience getting the better of me.

He no doubt get’s paid a lot of money to talk drivel on a sports news channel all week. It’s not like he’s been holed up in a war zone. I’m sure he’s happy enough.

They are probably all watching the Amazon documentary. That's a good 9 hours of television.
