Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

[Lily White Lady]

If we do sign Bale and Reguilon, do we need anything else? Perhaps a #10, or would it be enough to have Dele/Tanguy for that spot?

*I'm talking if we want to be comfortably in the top 4.

someone who can actually pick a pass and get that killer front line the ball

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Just watch this and behave!

Not going to lie I shed a little tear watching that.

 

[LukaMotion]

I just hope we can manage to get the fax machine working so we don't miss the deadline tonight.



Wait, what do you mean it's not deadline day? Has anyone told Danny boy?

 

[Lily White Lady]

Are we at the point of flight tracking yet?

Go back about 20 pages!

 

[BringBack_leGin]

I want him to get the number 14.

Lo Celso and Ndombele both fit that description right? Or are you talking about a player like Coutinho?

 

[George94]

3 out of the 4 numbers he wore for us are available - my money is on #16 ...

 

[DiVaio]

Please don't tell us what you did after that.

From the Daily ITK thread

Edit: thought I'd add it here as I feel like that thread may largely be ignored today, with this one preferred

It's happening I guess, never thought it would. Since it's a loan I can get behind it, would have been such a risk if we bought him.

I can't believe it, I actually feel quite emotional. Sick of being the butt of everyone's jokes, let's take some fucking bodies. COYFS

Another 1 COVID cost me mine too every job seem to go for there seems about 100 going for same one. COVID also cost me my mum too in April

I know mate it's tough my condolences.
I lost my mother in law in February just before COVID. And I've been helping my father in law since as I've been furloughed.

Keeping both of us strong with our mental health is very important. This Bale news has certainly helped I couldn't sleep a wink last night!. Take care mate things do get better. COYS

Isn’t his brand GB11 or something ? I imagine as part of the deal he is entitled to claim the no.11? Or now we’ve announced squad numbers it cannot be changed?

 

[Jamturk]

Best part of Bale signing is that Harry won’t be allowed near freekicks anymore

In all seriousness, if Bale does sign what does this do to the club dynamics?

Kane has been top dog for while now, I think Bale usurps him somewhat.

If Kane wants to win things he won't care. Good players want other good players around them.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Anyone doubting this signing would give us a lift.......

Look at us. Just look at the state we're in.

If only we'd pushed on when the time was right a couple of years ago and made a high profile signing or two. The whole club has been flat ever since then and IF this comes off, suddenly, the optimism levels are ramped right up and not only that, we start looking forward to watching us play again. If this doesn't excite you then you haven't got a pulse. And about fucking time.

Don't fuck this up. Anything less now and you'll need more than a pair of runnings shoes and a jet pack to get you out of it.

It'll be good to shake things up a bit

 

[GobbyJJ]

Didn't think we had a hope in hell. I've done it and changed my avatar. I NOW BELIEVE!

I think I'll finally be excited to watch us play, which has not been the case for the last year and half.

 

[Clark28]

We can't have nice things, it still doesn't feel real.

But it's happening!!
