Oh undoubtedly, which is why they surely have to announce Bale first. Seems to me to have been the MO as well, as they've generally announced the bigger name first, and then spaced it out with the subsequent signing.
It was Bale's 2012/13 season which returned my faith in sports stars as ethereal Supermen. I had written it off as childhood naivete just a few years prior, but Bale singlehandedly changed my perspective. To see him in a Spurs shirt again is the stuff of dreams.
I would imagine the social media team have considered a way to space this out such that Reguilon's announcement is not entirely obscured by the Bale return hype. They simply have to, otherwise it'd be quite unfair to the player. Hell, his agent has likely even demanded it.
It's just another loop on the surreal coaster ride of the last 18 months or so. Spurs in a CL final, Poch gone six months later, Mourinho wearing the chicken badge, empty stadiums, and now the return of the prodigal son.
Amazon must be begging Levy for a second season.
Thanks for this, as I actually thoroughly enjoyed that as a bit of a both aviation and history dork.
So as to not get A&C'd, I am of the opinion that Bale is a fine footballer.
Agree with all of this, but I hope the fans are patient with him. It's going to take him a few weeks to get back to fitness, let alone match quality confidence. Not sure yet if it's a good thing the fans aren't in the stadiums atm, because I don't know how that would affect the pressure on him...
My God, stunned to realize he's only 28.
Honestly, not a bad shout for an option, although I don't see him fancying the opportunity too much if he even remotely fancies himself any chance of getting into the Euros squad. If he's reasonable and views it as highly unlikely though, maybe he'll...
Fwiw, they kinda have to declare those based on international allegiances. Aurier spent most of his childhood in France, but is always referred to as "the Ivorian" by game commentators. I get what you're saying and I think it fair, but even so, the commentators are simply towing the line by my...
This is the logic used by managers of the ilk of Steve Bruce, Sam Allardyce, and Mark Hughes. You must be very confused when you see Sancho being mooted for prices well over 100 euros, and Peter Crouch goes for free to Burnley.
Absolutely perfect summary, and I suspect that this reasoning is exactly how the decision makers at the club are thinking.
Lamela out (and ideally back to Roma) and Eze in sounds like ideal business, with all parties happy.
Rather like the green one tbh, always have liked forest green.
The home though... absolutely blows the mind people who are paid handsomely to do this come out with those sleeves, and then some equivalent to an editor that gets paid even more is like "yeah that's the one." Like... they're paid...
Aurier must have gotten ahold of a video series or something about how to defend in football during quarantine, as he's gotten better and better at the primary role of his position. My props to him. I thought surely he was finished under Mourinho, but he's been quite good in recent games.
Whatever he's doing, I need to learn to add to life skills. Have honestly never seen such incredible mercy for one player in a match in all my years of watching this game.
I know it's a moot point ultimately, but Mr Taylor and VAR's mercy with Jonny Evans is well and truly shocking. Can honestly say I've never seen such shameful refereeing en masse in the EPL as this season.
Really have disliked the homes in recent years which have incorporated yellow trim. Just looks so bad along with the red lettering. I just cannot for the life of me comprehend how someone who has been through design training fails to note how utterly unaesthetic it is.
