That was my thought too, possibly even an effort to embarrass Bale on his way out. Marca is Real's mouthpiece, Real dislike Bale immensely, so it's not a massive leap to think that Marca would write stuff to make Real look good and us/Bale look bad.

Right, but why would we go with all of this buildup if there was going to then be a second medical, especially on a player with his injury history. It seems like we are setting ourselves up for a fall.

TBH given some of the shite some journo's pull I'm happy to waste their time, especially bloody sky/clickbait radio, maybe next time they wanting an exclusive going forwards they'll start putting together some neutral punditry for a change.

Far too drunk now to care... Happy to wait until the morrow when it'll sort the hangover oot.
Who gives a shit? And if you do, why do you? The club have done absolutely nothing to cause anyone to expect any announcement of anything today. Any expectations that were set were objectively done by people outside the club, i.e. people filming Bale arriving, tracking his flight, writing articles etc. None of that is prompted by the club, that is others prerogative but it's hardly like the club texted Jim White and told him to send his mates down with a camera, they did that of their own volition. The club can announce whenever it wants, not when a bunch of nerds (and I include myself in that) huddling around their laptops want it to!

Think you and others would maybe appreciate this gem,shows flashes of Bale at his best both here and at Real all them top moments the CL goal that west ham beauty.Imo the accompanying tunes are very appropriate highlights Bales got unfinished business atleast that's my thoughts when watching it.Figured timely reminder of whose coming home would be nice ?

That's just your disappointment coming out
Tomorrow, it'll be just as big a deal.
Sometimes I wonder if anyone has seen SSN before. I mean it’s just hyperbole on a loop every hour, every day of the week.
It’s not like tomorrow they are just going to say “Oh yeah, by the way Bale has signed. Now for the weather forecast.”

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.
I don't care about the first tweet. I'm more interested in the papers covering Bale expecting an announcement overnight.

Club didn't need to showcase itself. All of the THFC Forums have been blowing up since Tuesday. He was in the front seat of the car going in to the training ground.
The announcement will come. It's a really big deal. Tell me you all didn't feel a huge lift with seeing him at the ground?
Great days ahead
