Everything I would have thought, the fans would be lifted and help the team, season tickets and merchandise would see a significant lift in sales.
It would help btring on the younger players with a touch of proffesionalism, it would help with recruitment, if he does sign, it will be much bigger than the Bellamy signing, and could change things in the same way.
He could be our Cantona and put us back in the right direction.
What else would he add or change?
Or our Robbie Fowler ….
Agree with all of the above, although actually I think he may have less of an impact on the pitch than we think, but time will tell (if it happens anyway).Quote:

Unless we were gonna pay obscene wages and he subsequently failed miserably, then I can so nothing but benefits on and off the pitch
Insurance premiums
30,000 pre-season.??? 😂 Presume thats a typo.Quote:

The only real comparison I can make is when John Charles signed for us back in the early sixties - Charles didn’t have a great effect in terms of results or gates I believe, but I think Bale would on the latter certainly and the former probably given the low base he’d start on in terms of league position. City have not been fun to watch in years as far as I’m concerned, Bale would change that.
I think 30,000 is a shade optimistic. After all, on Saturday a Wales team featuring Gareth Bale drew a crowd of 27,188 for a game against the side ranked second in the world.Quote:

Probably my underpants as the excitement would be a bit too much :oh:
We’d sing wales-golf-Cardiff a lot
I think it immediately gives us a head start in terms of loan options. Top clubs loaning out their players will almost certainly think highly of their youngsters training/playing with someone of Bale's calibre, which no one else in the league would be able to offer.
That's why it is quite important if it is going to happen it happens as quickly as possible.
He'll make his mind up when he is Good and ready . The club he purports to support can wait till he's had his holiday. Gone down in my estimation. Couldn't care less if he don't sign.Quote:
