Oh you need to give it a watch, the standard of finishing makes it look like the goals are 3 foot wide sometimes. Games are either walking pace or end to end and error strewn. It's certainly a step up on the a-league in Australia but the MLS is basically a safe space for South Americans who can't make it in any league in Europe.

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS
Can't see anything in any of the stories citing any official source confirming it mind, and some even broke the story as "Bale agrees" only to replace it later with "Bale mulling over"
Lol

Interesting to see that only 7 out field players of the last US squad play in the MLS. Their squad is scattered across 11 different leagues

Here we go, another boycotter, will you be telling everyone about it in 15 years time how you haven't put a penny in Bales coffers and won't ever be going to Elevens till Bale leaves and then rush online to post when Bale tweets he has had a bad day on the golf course :shrug:

Should suit Bale down to the ground then. He’s looked well off the pace in recent internationals. A few months lording it over the MLS in warm weather could do him the world of good.

His own decision if he's decided it - I wouldn't have chosen it - he'll be just another one to the Americans - another aged galatico on a final pay day, while, even if already at superstar status here, this could have turned it up yet another dial and given the club some real propulsion - place would have been like Disneyland had been built in town. What a pity.

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS
Championship football is recognised as one of the most competitive leagues in the world ..
MLS is where greedy waining skilled players flock too its footcan at times look very ordinary will lots of stupid razzmatazz to.beef up the day which lacks the quality and intensity that the championship delivers ..
Should fit nicely for Bale and his steady football needs

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS
On another note, has he ever gone on record as saying Cardiff are his team because I haven’t seen anything.

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

I think there was a Sky piece with him and Rodon briefly ribbing each other about Cardiff and Swansea, but that’s all I can remember.

Yeah he's been in one of those video features - let's go through a rack of shirts that mean something to you - and among them was I think our 1993 shirt, and he talks about always checking for our score etc, pretty sure he calls himself a fan in that, but sure some would say it's not convincing.

Half his shares! Still owns 10% I think, so maybe a loan deal!

In that he said he was a Cardiff fan, but I think it was just to wind up Rodon.

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS
Nah this was a prick move. He didn’t need to string us along for three weeks. Maybe it took that long for him to realise he’s past it. Twat.

Yeah. He would have struggled financially like all of us with the cost of living crisis. Dont blame him. Poor bloke has to feed his kids after his 400k a week contract has expired.

The only way Bale would've sign for us was if the club could persuade him we were seriously signing players to make a Promotion challenge. Alas our signings are a cover to reduce wages in the hope of not getting relegated. Bale would've been completely barking to agree to such a deal. We are literally turning into Millwall, signing bale yeah right.

He definitely shouldn't get away with claiming that money had nothing to do with it.

It's being reported that his contract will be subject to the MLS salary cap, so it does seem that it really isn't about the money.
