Unless you’re welsh, you would have seen him be injured for most of the last two years, have a very average Rangers spell where he missed a pen in the final, and didn’t play that well against Ukraine. I’m surprised there’s even a market for itQuote:

Think a lot of others will be annoyed as well , its either about money or it isn't , Its not about which level he plays at FFS !! thats obviously not quite true ?Quote:

I wonder if there will be soms casual agreement between city and bale even if he doesnt sign. Training together etc.... Doesnt his house back on to the Vale pretty much so would make sense.Quote:

It's not happening is it?
It's starting to look like that especially as the club has apparently met all Bale's demands.Quote:

To coincide with the kit launch? :sherlock:Quote:

Interesting they say he's not down as a designated player, is a loan somewhere in the offing I wonder?Quote:

1/20 MLS
8/1 City
Significant move in betting.
Really disappointing if true. Carrot dangled and taken away quite harshly in my eyes.
LAFC are finalizing a deal to sign former Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale, sources tell MLSsoccer.com.
its hardly concrete proof he has decided on them,
The league basically owns the players it’s about as concrete as you can get, they are the source.Quote:

Our only chance is a two month loan Jan-Feb.. if he's even arsed to keep playing
Exactly mate, especially with the media all over it.Quote:

Least we can move on.
For all the talk of him definitely getting injured if he played in the Championship, I wonder what the chances are of some American journeyman putting him out of the World CupQuote:

Still chasing the big bucks it would seem if trueQuote:

Good move for all parties I think, warm weather training and games to get his fitness up.
He’d have improved us no doubt, but not by enough to make the plays offs.
Now reported in The Athletic:

A real shame……
What makes you think we turned him down?Quote:
