Damn, that's sad. Rest in peace.

This picture was his final tweet on twitter

 R.I.P

Bale getting like about 120 million or something, god damnit, that's basically the world record for transfer value. I don't know how Bale is gonna play, but seeing Ronald maybe get used to playing on the right, and then give Bale a spot, would be just awesome.

Bale is refusing to train apparently for Spurs' friendly against Monaco.

Latest reports say he's coming to Madrid for 120 million.I honestly don't know what Perez is thinking he's barley worth half of this price.But maybe it would be less and unloading players that have no room anymore in the squad

Sorry for double posting:

Presuming the Gareth Bale saga does eventually end with the Welshman pitching up at the Bernabéu, Carlo Ancelotti will have nabbed an extraordinary talent whose supreme flexibility makes him worth five signings rolled into one. This, in part, explains Real Madrid's determination to capture him.

Comfortable at left back, in a conventional left midfield role, wide on either flank or tucked in behind a target man, Bale can acquit himself seamlessly in up to five positions, making him a key cog in Ancelotti's tactical thinking.

The Italian could use five different formations at Real Madrid: 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-2-1, 4-4-2 and 4-4-1-1. The Welshman not only fits into each of these systems, but his versatility would enable him to be shunted around to cater for the team's needs, the opposition or any absentees.

In a 4-3-3, Bale could line up as a left full-back, where he started out for Tottenham. He could also be deployed further forward on the left of midfield, or alternatively on either side of the attacking trio, given his ability to cut in onto his favoured left foot from the right.

In a 4-2-3-1 – the system utilised by Mourinho – as well as at the back, Bale could feature anywhere across the line of three behind the striker, including in the centre, a position in which he ran riot last season after being switched there by Villas-Boas.

It is the same story in a 4-3-2-1 – Ancelotti's famous Christmas tree formation – with Bale slotting in at left back, in left midfield or as a withdrawn striker.

Finally, in a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1, both of which Ancelotti has employed before, the Welshman could line up on either flank, deputise for Marcelo at left-back or even be given licence to roam in the hole.

Great bit of business from Spurs, I wish they could keep him though. 120 Million for Gareth Bale is something you should snap their hand off for. It also grants them a bigger warchest in finding a replacement and continuing this project of becoming a top 4 side.

As if we weren't OP before

This young nekro better get that chemistry with Ronaldo

I haven't got anything against him lol, I can only hope they manage to dethrone Barcelona and maybe win a CL again lol. It's been a while for them.

But yeah, him and Ronaldo better click, because I think they lost Ozil to Arsenal.
