The Absolute GOAT
Only downside is short term fitness
Gareth sustained a knee injury whilst playing for Wales on international duty earlier this month and this together with La Liga’s later start compared to the Premier League means he has had a limited pre-season. We currently anticipate that he will be match fit after October’s international break.
So misses next 2 weeks matches before October international break

I've been replanting some pot.
Wanted to gauge opinions on Expectations.
The video of him scoring those goals proves he has ability which nobody doubts.
But what are our expectations for him? He's had injuries and is currently injured.
When he left us he was one of top 3 players in the world alongside Messi and Ronaldo. Personally not expecting him to be at that level. He will still score good goals and important ones.
How do we utilise him? RW cutting inside? Behind Kane? Left wing, rolling back the years like he did against Inter. With Doherty and Reguilon as full backs, I'd imagine having Son and Bale cutting inside.
If we play a front 3 of Son, Kane, Bale. Do we play with an extra defensive player in midfield? I can't bare to watch Sissoko and PEH.
Also rotation and game management, don't think he can play 2 games a week. Do we pick and choose the most important games for him to start.
Decisions, decisions.

I think a front three of Kane, Bale, and Son seems logical, though a 4231 could be interesting. He’ll be a 10 with Kane as our 9, even though their numbers are reversed.
In terms of expectations I’d imagine he’ll miss a few games. He was injury prone even when he was first with us (mainly his back). However I think he’ll create and score, and will be our go-to free kick specialist.
If he can bang in free kicks like he was doing so before, then it's worth it just for that.
Our set pieces are beyond useless.
If he can stay fit I think he will win league player of the season, he is just better than everyone else in my view and he does the spectacular. He will do stuff this season which wows people. The real question is can he stay fit? I don't see why not to be honest, so long as he is properly managed for condition and is not overplayed.
That’s ..... pretty much anyone in Wales
hardly narrows it down does it .... give us another clue
I’m struggling to think of a better player in the league. Certainly not attacking players.
How the hell did we pull this off?
No it’s not. This was decided 20 pages back
I would, but I can't remember the fucking question.
Idk why everyone was surprised he couldn’t learn Spanish. He can’t even speak Welsh
Could he uave gone to city or liverpool et c? I don't imagine they'd turn him down. I guess they are riskier options for him though, and if this move goes wrong at 31 then that costs him financially when it cones to his next contract and in terms of his status, how he is perceived. Spurs is the safer option. And then theres the fact he fucking loves the club!
I think you just proved his point.
