He won’t struggle to meet my expectations, he’s one the best players ive ever watched, genuinely excited to have a front three of Bale, Son and Kane.

It is a fair warning. He was somewhat prone to breaking down even when he was with us and it seems he has become even more prone to injuries in recent years. The PL is faster and more competitive than when he left it so we will just have to wait and see how he copes if we get the deal done. This might be one of the reasons we only do it as a loan (possibly with an option to buy) to derisk the deal. Everyone knows RM wants to get shot of him so that works in our favour.

I always thought he'd be back one day. It just took a bit longer than ideal.

Can he play LB?

All of this . Bale had those incredible youthful surges with the ball when with us. We can't expect them in v physical Prem . Heart triumphing over head here ?

For me, it was Gazza. Oh boy that guy could do the impossible.

"Jose, it's Florentino. Just as a warning, you might be disappointed with Bale."
"Oh really, why?"
"Well we bought him thinking he'd improve our team, but he only won us 4 champions league titles. Quite disappointing really"
