Bale in Spain.. What was he thinking wearing those shorts?

Gareth Bale has failed to report to training at Tottenham

Bale in Spain.. What was he thinking wearing those shorts?

Probably the same thing as he does every time he does that goal celebration "I wish it was easier to come out when you're a pro footballer but I'm leaving enough clues out there".

Will.i.an fee agreed with Chelsea

That is a ridiculous and pointless signing. I guess Mata, Oscar, Hazard, Schurrle, De Bruyne, Moses, Marin and van Ginkel don't present enough depth in attacking midfield.

How can you judge a signing before he's even played a fair few games for Chelsea. It's like saying Nick Blackman is shit, oh.....

He's merely saying the signing is pointless.

RattLOLed.

Are you going to Burnley?

I did once, I think it was November a couple of years ago. Went with my brother and his heavily pregnant wife for a week. It was shit.

What does that have to do with Chelsea signing a player in a position where they already have several world-class players?

Arsenal Wenger is asked whether Juan Mata's dad was invited to Arsenal last night and replies "No. I don't know. Maybe."

That's that cleared up then.

If Mata went to Arsenal that would be a bit embarassing for Chelsea, arguably hes there best player

Apparently Spurs want to buy him, and Liverpool had a season loan offer rejected. He's a very good player, him falling out of favour at Chelsea is a weird one.

Mourinho has stated Mata isn't for sale.

Thats what Utd said about Rooney - didn't stop Chelsea putting a bid in

[southbank1871]

And Mourinho has been known to lie in the past.
