Anyone who wouldn't be excited by a Bale return is a moron.

I wasn't impressed by KWP in defense although as a WB he was ok. I thought the defense was shambolic. Dele played well as did Lucas and clearly Ndombele is going to be a huge asset. And Harry showing Beckham how it's REALLY done. Touch of genius there I think. But back 3/4 really worrisome. Huge holes appearing. Seems as though none of them knew what the others were doing. Liked the guy on the left.....Georgiu ??? Don't know how to spell it. Lots of potential there.Nothing about today’s match changed the way I view this squads strengths, weaknesses and needs.
Which is both good and bad I guess.
I think the club is always going to be tentatively interested in bringing him back for as long as he keeps playing. But all the planets have to align for it to make sense.I think it's just Poch being his diplomatic self and showing Bale some respect as an ex legend of the club. Zidane (The bastard) has absolutely panned Gareth lately so rather than say "We're not interested" and heap more pain on the lad he's taken the safe ground and sat on the fence.....wise move.
It's possible that he's grown up.You're probably right mate, I would rather keep Eriksen and get Lo Celso than sell Eriksen and get Bale and Lo Celso.
Not saying Bale isn't talented, clearly he is but I don't want this team to become the Bale show and I don't want his attitude fucking up the squad harmony tbh, the whole thing about Poch is that no player is bigger than the team and that's the way it should stay imo.
I think what we need before the window closes now is Lo Celso, Sess and a RB, I think the RB and Lo Celso are both imperative and if Rose leaves then Sess will also be imperative as well.
Is that the pereira we were heavily linked with last year and should have gone for ?
"Who's a pretty boy then"?I can't fathom how on earth Troy Parrot is only a 17 year old.
Unrealistic Champions League add ons

He's 30 now - his days as a winger are long goneHe doesn’t want to be a winger, he wants a free role in attack.
Probably because he's aged now and longer 21 ripping up defendersI look at Bale now and I don’t even see the same dynamic player that wore lilywhite for us. He’s a completely different person as I see it.
agree our defence need strengthening. If we are to spend 60 mil on our next signing i hope is a centre backI wasn't impressed by KWP in defense although as a WB he was ok.

Very well said. We would be a better team with him and he is a winnerAnyone who wouldn't be excited by a Bale return is a moron.
Why - we've already got 4 plus Dier and Davies who have both played for their countries (and us) in that position. I think 6 gives us sufficient cover - and that's not even taking into account Tanganga who played today. Think there are more desperate positions to fill - well only two desperate ones really and that's full backs. Anything else is a bonus boost to the squad.agree our defence need strengthening.
