shouldnt be an issue.

If he's injured I'm the Queen

Not disagreeing with you THudd but then why not play for Wales? Because?

Roll on the 1st September! Can't wait for this window to close and Bale to suck it up and play again

Not disagreeing with you THudd but then why not play for Wales? Because?

Not sure Val, only think I can speculate is that he's trying to save face with us, the fans!

Rooney turned out for England and it was pretty obvious he was not injured at all!

Agree again THudd but at the same time he is losing match fitness for whoever he will end up playing for....

Haven't seen him in one training photo the club put on on the website, he's not match fit, only played 45 mins vs Swindon!

Val I agree he's only gonna ate himself from the club, fans and the rest of the players, I've never beleived when a player is injured pre-season in transfer window

It's frustrating, but I'm 99% confident we can beat Palace and Swansea without him, we have depth now in Chadli, Townsend and Lennon

I'm with thudd. Gareth Bale is clearly not injured. What a coincidence he picks up a foot injury during the end of transfer window I'm not saying he will definetky go but bale is not injured, load of horses hit.

Remember when Bale turned his ankle last season vs Basel?

Made a recovery in under a week?

What's it been now over a month?

I'm not saying it's untrue, but he's not shown his face at any pre-season game since, if he stay's he'll get my full support as always. If he goes I will be left disappointed in the manner he's gone about things

I'd swap Rose for Fryers in that formation and we have a winning team

Thudd, it's not true. Gareth bale is not injured. You can tell by AVBs body language mate. I don't believe it for a second and I think anyone that does is extremely gullible. Why the hell would Gareth Bale travel with the Wales squad just to be involved pathetic!!! Yes he didn't play but I'm almost certain that's a pr stunt. Gareth bale is most definetly fit but at this moment in time refusing to play.

I feel disappointed in GB, he should be playing and not worrying about being injured before a possible move, he's under contract and should play.

Unless the club produce a medical form signed by a doctor saying he is genually injured, then it's complete bull

Saying that we have enough in our side to beat Palace, we will be too strong for them, 3-0 easy win

The welsh fa would have checked to see if he was injured and played him if he wasn't

Oh don't get me wrong I'm not worried about bale this weekend because your right, we do have enough to beat them without him but it needs to be sorted now and if it means buying a replacement in then selling then please get it done levy. Or tell bale he will stay and there's nothing he can do about it, just get it sorted spurs.


This is from Coleman

'Just looking at the last two or three weeks, Gareth's workload hasn't been good,' said Coleman about the winger who is carrying a foot injury, 'so we can't expect him to come here and then go into a match against Ireland.
'It would be dangerous to do that. We respect Tottenham. We have a good working relationship with them and the medical team here decided it would be too much of a risk - and we're not prepared to take it.
'Tottenham have given us information on his fitness. He worked on his own yesterday. I wouldn't put him in a situation where he had to play the game.
'As strong as he is, as good a player as he is, we wouldn't take that risk with him.'
Coleman denied that it was for any reason other than injury that Bale wasn't appearing against the Irish.
'If he had a chance to play, then he would play,' added Coleman, 'the transfer saga wouldn't have been in the back of my mind because my job is to win games for Wales.
'It's not that he's not ready to play mentally. It's physically where there is a problem.
'He's not had enough sessions and we would have taken that decision whether it had been Gareth - or any other player for that matter.'

--------------------------------------

As you can see the welsh manager is clearly hinting Bale not playing is more to do with his lack of pre season than it is due to injury. Gareth Bale is not injured.

Everything adds up that he is not fully fit, we have a strong enough team to dispose Palace, so why risk our best player when he is not 100%?

I honestly believe he is not 100%, the club said he is not for sale, Real simply cannot afford him, Bale is going nowhere

Judging by some innocuous pictures, your a queen of sorts!

Had Wales played him with a transfer to Real on the cards and he got injured then they would be in real trouble

Do you think Wales actually care?

Coleman can't even bring himself to mention about any actual injury bale has. His reasoning for not playing him is because of lack of fitness. It Dosent take a genius to work this out and realise Gareth Bale is refusing to play for us at this moment in time but doing it in a much more subtle way than say Luis Suarex or Rooney

Thudd, do you honestly believe that is the case?
