    he's still capable of playing at the top level. he was one of spurs best players when he went there on loan.
    I dont think he will be short of offers at all
    His injury record, that simple. If he worked for the public sector, There'd be people on here spitting feathers over his sickness record, and on full pay

    No one is saying he's finished. He seems incapable of playing a full season though. I think he has his sights set firmly on the World Cup and I don't expect him to do anything to jeopardize that.

    let's say he could get an offer from a premier League club for a season at ,£150k a week.
    and we could maybe stretch to £20k a week?
    could be way out but just for an example.

    that would mean that he'd be effectively paying about £6 million quid a year to play for us.

    he'd have to want to play for is a LOT.

    He would be off his head to play for a championship team he doesn’t even support Cardiff

    "He just doesn't want the Wales fans to boo him". Ha ha ha! Can you imagine a Cardiff player being afraid of that?

    I couldn't see such a talent in this league, for that reason I'm out.

    That's for him to decide really, but I sort of disagree. I know what you mean- an elite player like that cheapens themselves by dropping down the ranks as they age. But bale has won everything at club level that there is to win, and he seems confident enough to recognise that his elite says are done. No doubt he could help a side win another domestic league or European club competition, but so what? He's already done that. With the few years of top level football left, what can he do to add to his existing CV? Taking his home town team from the championship doldrums back to the premier League might have more appeal than one more tilt at another champions League medal, and might set him up for another decade in the game in a city and a country he clearly has a genuine affinity with.

    These are romantic notions, but Bellamy did it. I don't think its that crazy.... I can see how it might happen.

    If we qualify for the World Cup he will be looking for a short term contract to stay fit for the tournament
    If we don't qualify he will retire
    Also he will not be turning pro golf as he cannot be dealing with all the travelling

    Antonio Conte will have his own ideas of what his squad needs, and he will not be shy in letting his superiors know if he does not deem Bale a good fit. Odds of 2/1 on the best betting sites should therefore be taken with a degree of caution.

    Cardiff City Are Shock Second-Favourites To Sign Bale
    Cardiff City do not sign players from Real Madrid very often, and you will not find their name mentioned in connection to other four-time Champions League winners.

    Yet Bale is a unique case, and various comments he has made in the last year or so have given the impression that he has something unusual up his sleeve.

    “It just has to happen after the Euros,” Bale told Sky Sports when quizzed about his future towards the end of his time on loan at Tottenham. “I know what I'm doing but it'll just cause chaos if I say anything now.”
