They're not stupid are they?
In my mind they'll both be injured for the World Cup...if I'm wrong I'll e happy.

If they are they’ll regret it big time, so will probably protect themselves.
out of the two I think I'd prefer Nice, although there are obviously some very nice places near to LA as well (just not LA itself)
Think Scmichael may also be heading to Nice from Leicester.
They both need to play somewhere. And they’re at risk of getting injured anywhere they go.
The MLS seems to be played at a snails pace compared to the Top 5 leagues and I can imagine Bale can play well enough without needing to get into 5th gear.
Nice have a stacked midfield so Ramsey will be a rotational player and their European games are in the conference league so in theory less intense than if he went to a CL club.
Watched Rooneys DC United the other night
They won 2-1 with goals in injury time
I think Mark Harris would get 20 goals out there the standard of defending was shocking. The pace was pretty good as was the physicality - I think Bale will be fine as he won't need to over exert himself
One thing is for sure he has gone out there to retire nothing else
2 years of that and he will be gone
Nice is a lovely city good luck to Ramsey - a very good move for him and Wales
Nice is owned by that Brexit supporting INEOS guy.
Bale will be injured for sure, Ramsey will be good, it's really nice there!Quote:

Looks like we dodged a bullet
That poster loves to let us know that they don't care about the Welsh side at each opportunity, which is an odd position for a supporter of a Welsh football clubQuote:

This being a City forum, my expectation would be that many of you would agree with my preference of City over Wales.
Nonetheless, Come on both the City and Wales - strictly in that order!!

Correct, Sludge.
So when did Ramsey turn down City? You seem to have swerved the question.Quote:

I do think there are lots of inconsistencies though and I've made it no secret that I don't, personally, like the fact that we push our 'Welsh' credentials so vociferously whilst playing in the English Football League. Same goes for Swansea, Newport and (almost) Wrexham. I know the history well enough, but there are huge contradictions in 2022 when it comes to Cardiff City's Welshness from a football perspective.
To me, Cardiff City and the Wales football team aren't connected other than by geography. Sure, we play our home internationals at the CSS even though The Principality Stadium has hosted an FA Cup Final and Champions League Final. It gets more complicated with the FAW and Cymru Premier thrown into the mix (TNS and Europe being an example).
In fact we had a thread recently taking the p*ss out of TNS's performance.
Kieffer Moore couldn't wait to get shot of us as soon as the PL became a prospect. Not many Wales players opt to play for Welsh clubs. Neither Bale nor Ramsey have decided to play for a Welsh club even though Wales have qualified for their first WC since 1958 and they needed 'game time'. Joe Allen, in fairness, is back at Swansea. Even Joe Ledley played for County just before his retirement (there were many fans who didn't want him here).
Bellamy is the only one who stands out for me.
I often wonder what English players playing for us really feel about it and whether it's really confusing? Would we be proud if a Cardiff City player was selected for England?
I'm expecting a 1000 word essay from everyone by Friday please and to be flamed!
Bothroyd was selected for England whilst with us.Quote:

A couple of years ago I seem to recall some overseas players turning down offers because families wanted to be close to London / hated the weather in the NW & NE of England but English players would be used to anything South Wales could rain upon them and the Lamborghini could get them to Bond Street promptly.
On a player getting picked for England the reaction here was pretty positive when Jay B got his cap and plenty of posters used to question why Witts never got looked at. On that non scientific basis I would say that the reaction , even amongst the ABE crowd, would be reasonable.
Well, when he said "They’ve both turned down the City," I assumed he meant they've both turned down City. Call me a madman, but that's how I interpreted it.Quote:
