Just got a new tattoo, if this doesn't convince Gareth to sign I don't know what will!

Jokes aside: is the injury thing slightly over-played? Just did a check on Transfermarkt and compared him with Kane, who has his injury problems but would certainly not be considered crocked.

Days missed due to injury since start of 2016/17 season:
Kane - 292 days
Bale - 315 days

That's only 3 weeks difference. Obviously this is a massively simplified way of looking at a complex problem (types of injuries, frequency vs severity, etc.), but it did make me wonder.

Maybe? Only thing is they’re aging not getting younger which surely means any bigger injuries would take them longer to heal? Almost a year of not playing in 4 seasons is a lot.

I can’t see us getting through the season without one or both of them being injured at some point. Just got to hope that it’s not the same time.

Really not sure it is that - his videos get 40k views normally so clearly not doing it for the money. Might be reading too much into it - just not like him to normally do this sort of thing.



He does quite often do videos to be fair

If this is true, we should really get this done. That’s hardly break your back money. We can absolutely cover that.


Not alot more than Kane. Even at 280K, we should even do it IMVHO. A fucking supernova in our team who will complain of him being paid the highest?
