If he doesn't sign at this point it's TLG's fault.
Let’s assume the offers from America are attractive in financial terms. Why would anyone like Bale who has just spent nearly a decade in Spain want to move back home now instead of embarking on another overseas adventure for a couple of years, especially as his career is drawing to a close? I’d imagine doing so would be an exciting idea for him and his family, but who knows? Only they do I guess.Quote:

As much as i'd LOVE to see him here if it's not a full season then i'd rather not do it at all
Well our leADeR says it's down to 30% so that's a wrap folks.
Even if it was half a season I'd take itQuote:

And if it meant we had a fully fit and firing Bale in the world cup I'd be happy if he signed for us and barely played tbh.
How would he know though, he’s a fan who resides in Spain or France isn’t he ?Quote:

As others have said, if he goes to a Prem team, then I'll be disappointed but I'd understand it. If he chooses to go to the MLS instead, though, that would be a head scratcher, given what he's previously said his motivations are.

I get that. And also the comment if he's fully fit for the world cup then i'd take that too.
I just think the media circus that would surround a player coming for a few months, with the team changing drastically week to week, would be worth it and would be underwhelming unless its a season.
I also don't see how it would attract other, better players, if he only comes on a short deal?
I'm pretty convinced he'll go to the MLS even though it makes no sense in footballing terms
Skybet now have Bale at 5/6 to sign for us. Any MLS evens.
Ramsey is 4/9 to sign for us.
Bookies think Ramsey is the more likely.
Lets face it nobody knows how talks are going.
Agreed but I'm naturally pessimistic because we're Cardiff fans and we can't have nice thingsQuote:

Thinking about what the club could offer him other than a whopping salary, the Gareth Bale Stadium has a nice ring to it doesn't it?
Everybody's trying to get a piece of the action.

Maybe he has just got used to living in a warm sunny climate, plenty of MLS clubs can offer the lifestyle he is used to.
As opposed to rainy South Wales with cold winter trips to Sunderland.
that doesn't explain why the premiership and though lesser the championship is chocka with south european and south american playersQuote:
