    Re: It's happening....

    The knock on effect from Bale signing would be absolutely stratospheric. Encourage better players to join us, shirt sales, media attention, social media buzz, ticket sales, solidified welsh connection and more. Add Ramsey aswell and that multiplies.

    Come on Gareth, let the pen meet the paper!

      I wasn’t ridiculing Ralls. He’s a decent midfielder by Championship standards. I just think it’s funny that the club is apparently a serious contender to sign the likes of Bale and Ramsey at a time when a guy who’s been here for 11 years hasn’t yet agreed a new contract. That’s classic Cardiff City.

        I’ve got no idea what sort of terms are being reported. I haven’t seen anything concrete in that respect. I’ve seen lots of speculation on here, but I don’t think anything regarding terms has been reported by any genuine news outlet has it?

          No but I think it's fair to suggest that after 8 free transfers, we won't be offering him anything close to his half a million salary.

              No idea how they got on as teammates but both Bale and Morison started for Wales in our dramatic 2-1 win against Scotland at the CCS.

                That’s a given, but I’ve read everything from a four-month contract to a three-year contract being talked about on here and all sorts of other speculation regarding possible terms. However, nothing of that nature has been reported by any reliable outlets as far as I’m aware.

                  Anything less than a year would be a waste of time, in my opinion. Here’s hoping!

                    I think we can take it as read that the “it’s not all about money” line is true.

                      There is also the financial fair play requirements to take into account as all payments to players eg salary merchandise etc add to the cost and so thsi may affect the length of deal??

                        Indeed, but what does that mean in reality? No club is going to pay Bale anything close to the money he was earning at Madrid, but you mentioned terms. I’m pretty certain none of us have any idea what sort of terms Bale and the club itself would deem as acceptable.

                            This is the one bit that worries me. I'd love to see it happen, I think it would be the biggest thing for City's and Wales' profile in donkey's years (possibly ever) but ultimately ,if it happens, the terms will be whatever works best for Bale and that will be doing what he needs to keep fit for Wales. Would love to be wrong on that but can't help but think he'll be here more for shirt sales than performances unfortunately.

                                Bale's agent says the Cardiff deal is "highly complicated, it's not the usual straight salary"
