I know you can make pretty much anyone look good on a highlights video, but some of this is ridiculous.

I think to be fair, Bale has been half arsed at Madrid for 2 seasons and basically got disillusioned with ZZ and the fans. At 31 he is still a specimen, I think a few of the "injuries" may disappear.
The game against Sunderland has just finished. He scores an absolute pile driver , we narrowly miss the CL while those cunts down the road are celebrating another saint day
I am outside the pub having a fag thinking " I cannot wait for next season, because I am sure he's gonna stay, I can tell by his celebration".
What follows is a summer of transfer delusion and agony. Today is the day that wipes away all that shit.
The main feeling I got now is "Oh, yes, where were we, Gareth?"

Wow, great work my friend.. Go to the top of the class.
I love how gullible social media can be..
Not half.. I went with 5 other friends (which I do most years) and it was so nice to get away. Hardly any cases of Covid on Corfu, i'm not sure if that is down to luck or the fact they aren't testing everyone.
Everything was open and the only downside was the bars closed at midnight, without exception.
All it meant was we didn't have a siesta inbetween daytime drink and nightime drink..
Time to change the thread title now guys, to Bale HAS returned to Spurs!
Who said 2020 was a shit year??

This is the biggest signing we've ever made.
Hope they are all wearing masks
Really emotional didnt think I would be but fuck BALE IS BACK fuck, fuck, fuck. Bale, Son and Kane, fuck. Look out cunts Spurs are coming for you !!
The point is; what is in his game today? That's all. He's barly played for 2yrs! If he's not scoring from outside the box, then is he still able to play on the counter? (I hope so because this is our MO under Jose). The answer is we don't know. We do know that he's not the same player that left. As yo say, "there WAS more to his game". It's completly unknown what he brings today.
Why would he give the squad a lift? Last time he was playing for us he didn't bother to train with the squad on occasions, if you listen to the Defoe's interview about this the players were not impressed by this. By many accounts, his RM team mates didn't bond with him at all (apart from Modric). Just another example of the players not getting the "shot in the arm by his presence".
The lift is from the fanbase, the shot in the arm is felt by the fanbase, all thinking we are getting the same player back that left 7yrs ago.
I'm sure that if his level has dropped 25% then that means we still have a good player on our hands but the expectation of him banging in worldies as he used to for us is only going to end in tears IMO. I do hope that he feels he has something left to prove, and is motivated to show Madrid that they shouldn't have booed him and included him but, this is merely wishful thinking, as evidence suggests that he didn't really give a shit and was content playing golf whilst picking up £600kpw neto!
If he gives the club/squad a shot in the arm and bangs in the odd pearler it's job done really.
