Ex-Spurs Player Gareth Bale

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I'm trying to keep my expectations in check with Bale being 31 and not having really played regular football in a couple of years.

But if we get a rough approximation of 2016 Bale and can keep him fit along with Son and Kane on current form, with the standard of defending in the Premier League now, we could absolutely put this league to the sword.

I think he will be excellent.. and if he can't do it for 90 mins (twice a week) then Lamela, Lucas and Bergwijn are there and ready. Lamela and Lucas have been very handy lately. It is healthy to have this choice.
 
Got sent this from a mate earlier

"
A guy who works with Jose & the coaches sent my mate this:

Jose and Nuno said that Bale could have played yesterday but they didn’t want to risk him.
They are blown away at how good he is, his absolutely flying in training - and Bale is so happy to be at spurs again - he’s itching to get on the pitch"

Fuck sake man, I'd only just got rid of the stiffy I've had from the game yesterday!

I want to believe this, but the only photos we've seen have been of Bale training alone to get back to fitness/from his mild knee injury - and that was on Thursday.



I just can't really see him having trained with the first team yet unless we've managed to keep an astonishingly tight lid on it.

Just realised who “the guy who works with Jose” is.

Ledley.

Man never trained with the team. Just swam. And was fucking awesome.

Seeing Gareth run around with a ball and some sticks in the ground will be enough for him to evaluate his levels.
And also his 50m freestyle time.
 
Just bumping this because it wasn’t on the front page and that ain’t right! ... GARETH FUCKING BALE , I still can’t quite believe he will be playing in the Lillywhite very soon.

I was just recently thinking how I feel there's not a lot of training pictures that get floated around like there used to be.
