Bale not ruling out Cardiff City move.

Or going to play in MLS.

I don't think Bale sitting on a plane for 3-8 hours for every away game is a great idea with his injury issues.

It is also terrible timing for the world cup, their season ends at the start of October.

Re: Bale not ruling out Cardiff City move.

as Ramsey and Allen are also free agents, I wonder if they'll prioritize joining a club that could accommodate all of them together, so they get half a season of playing with each other.

Re: Bale not ruling out Cardiff City move.

Sorry to put a dampener on the story, but I don’t think he will sign for his home town Club.

But could he sign for home city club?

Re: Bale not ruling out Cardiff City move.

Allen is a jack so he won’t come

I’m getting some paint ready to paint over Bales muriel in Whitchurch village

Either that or to add Viva Gareth Bale depending n which way it goes

Re: Bale not ruling out Cardiff City move.

It's hard to see it happening.

I'm sure he will look at most options but I sort of feel that if he wanted to come here he may already be here or soon will be as there can't be much in terms of negotiations.

I'd imagine if it's not clear in the next week then we can rule it out.

Maybe he wants to go on holiday without a media circus and feels if he announces before he is not going to get a break from that whereas whilst Wales online may print its usual rehash everyday talk of it directly to him will diminish whilst he is away and then ramp up when he is back which at that point he can then announce his plans?

Truth is no one knows I suppose.... Well except the other board of course 👍

What's the dilemma? Us or Swansea, us or another club?

Re: Bale not ruling out Cardiff City move.

Does anyone else think his reference to Wales physios is significant?

"It's something I guess I need to sit down and go through, not just with my family, but with the manager here [Rob Page], with the physios here that we use, to see what would give me the best chance of being fit come November and December."

If he wants to stay close to the Wales medical/physio team in between camps (as well as the other coaching and backroom staff) does that add to the case for Cardiff City? I don't know who is working and around the Vale when the squad are back with their clubs - but it must be easier to stay in contact to manage his fitness in Cardiff than it would be in Newcastle, Italy or the USA?

My daughter is working in a coffee shop (in between doing her master's degree) near the international pool, she says that Joe Allen has been in three times over the past month or so, even mixing it up with some City players. He also gave her a £20 tip. Make of that, what you will!

I think so yes. I think the biggest factor in whether or not he comes here was Wales qualifying for the world cup.

I make of that that you will soon be Joe Allens father in law.

Your daughter was given 20 to keep it quiet, she failed miserably

I think I saw something about Stoke offering Allen a new deal?

That was exactly the bit which jumped out for me.

Re: Bale not ruling out Cardiff City move.

He should push himself with a Premier League team if he want's the best preparation for the World Cup.
