I hope his first goal celebration (45yard rocket) is celebrated with a golf swing....ala Klinsmann dive...Anyone else already finding the golf stuff really old, everytime his name comes up some absolute jokester goes ‘what’s he playing for the Tottenham golf squad??’ as if they’re a comedic genius.

I hope its a Golf swing accompanied by the rest of the team pulling on ZZ face masks. Slim I know, but I gotta hope.

My reaction to a Bale golf joke
He's going to need a 2nd season to make his debut?

Any links?
Great idea, but let’s take it a step further, McIllroy, Woods, Johnson masks etc etc
Brilliant I'll have one
The majority of British footballers struggle with English, let alone some foreign lingo.
I think it's a footballer thing... You should have listened to Cassano trying to speak Italian
Time flies but heroes remain :
the way this is going, it's highly possible that no supporters will be allowed back in stadiums for months,really concerned that we won't get the chance to see him play and welcome him back. A horrible thought. Just our luckTalk of end of November now ready for City match
Tottenham ace Gareth Bale not set to be fully fit until late November
Tottenham have a plan in place for Gareth Bale to return to full fitness after he has recovered from a knee injury, according to reports.www.express.co.uk
I have a feeling we shall be watching Gareth in a Spurs shirt next season as well as this one. I'm convinced he will see out his RM contract with us. Let's hope we will have a full season then to cheer him on.
Does anyone else get the horrible feeling that Mourinho is going to play him as a 10 instead of on the wing/wide forward and then still play lucas?
I just got a bit worried when Bale said in his interview “I’m not going to be doing those 90 yard runs anymore” (which Jose demands from his wingers) and “I spoke to Jose and he told me the positions he wants me to play”.
This makes me think it’s not going to be the obvious position we think, and it worries me as it means there is even less chance of seeing Kane, Son, Bale, Tanguy & Lo Celso all on the pitch together.
Just thinking out loud here

Yes, I think playing next to Kane will be an option.Does anyone else get the horrible feeling that Mourinho is going to play him as a 10 instead of on the wing/wide forward and then still play lucas?

It releases Bale from the obligation of tracking back the opposite LB - and it allows Jose to keep Lucas in the team. When we won against Woolwich, we did use a traditional 4-4-2, with Sonny and Kane up front. The objective was to close the spaces out wide. In these situations, it would make sense to have him centrally. And to be honest, I think Bale would do well from central areas in general, even against teams expected to sit deep - basically, playing in Dele Alli's position.
My problem with using this formation on a regular basis is that it leaves only two midfield places - and I really like the prospect of a Hojbjerg + Ndombele partnership, with Lo Celso ahead of them coordinating the pressing and the attacking movements; an inverted triangle. Of course, it's possible to have it all simply by playing Bale as a RW - on paper, it's definitely the right move.
I think the key word was when he mentioned "positions" Jose wanted him to play - it will probably change according to the opposition.

I think given we've signed Reguilon and Doherty, 3-5-2 is a serious possibility.
Rotate Son Kane Bale in the front 2 positions.

I don't think that's how ejaculation works.
