Positive of Bale not signing
There won’t be hundreds of those bloody cardboard signs begging for his shirt at every game!

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
Fewer distractions
Can build a team for a few years
Won't have to fit the side around Bale and then change it when he's not there (although there is obviously a massive plus if he did play :hehe:)

Very true.
I was excited about the season with the signings we’d already made before all the shenanigans of the last week.

I think this is one of those times when it's unclear if you're trying to convince us or yourself! :hehe:

I didn't want him to win games for us on his own, it's probably better that we have James Collins in the team if you think about it...
Direct free kicks? Let's build a style of play :hehe:

Would look even more daft is he'd picked up a knock and wasn't playing.

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
Steve Morison Hooking him after 45 minutes because Bale just wasn't 'Getting' what we wanted him to do. Nah, scrap that, it would've been hysterical.

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
There will be an extra space on the bench and in the treatment room :thumbup:

The ultimate power play.
"Look, when he rifled that one in the top bin from 30 yards, that really wasn't the plan".

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
The biggest positive I can think of , we are not adding another stupid top knot hairstyle to the squad , with Bacuna and Pack gone we only have one stupid top knot hurdle to overcome whcih is Sean Morrison's , lets hope he grows up and see 's the light and gets a curly perm .

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
I can’t think of any positives about not having the best ever Welsh player in our team, even at this stage of his career.

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
The lower attendances now that he’s not coming will mean the queues at the bar won’t be as long

And the wifi working.

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
We won’t have to get our hopes up of doing anything decent this season
Other than the sarcastic ones about queues and the cardboard signs there’s nothing positive.

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
Bale diving like a ponce to get free kicks and penalties

This.
Most of these posts are ridiculous.

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
It means I can go back to loving Bellers and Ramsey and putting them on a much deserved pedestal.

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
Now that the dust has settled, and I’ve slept on it, I’m not as disappointed as I was.
There are no real positives of him not signing, he would have brought so much. It would have also brought an expectation and pressure that I’m not sure our new squad would have coped with.

No worries, I’m getting older and more cantankerous so things like the begging signs get on my nerves.

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
The only positive I can think of is that we have all learned that CCFC means absolutely nothing to him.

It was pointless putting the sell on clause in his original contract too.

Re: Positive of Bale not signing
He will go down in history as the player who turned his back on his home town club.

Exactly. I'm starting to believe we're never going to get anything from that. Club's a joke FFS.:hehe:

No, he absolutely will not. He'll go down in history as the best footballer Wales ever produced. As a 5-time Champions League winner. As the scorer of the best goal ever scored in a Champions League final. As the player that destroyed Inter Milan on his own. And as the player that scored goals from some of the best free kicks ever taken.

Yes agreed. Wales, Southampton, Spurs and Real legend, soon to be LAFC legend and then quite possibly (unless a later move materialises!) the player who was so good, Cardiff City unfortunately never managed to get him. Find it very hard to hate him, disappointed obviously but let's be real - it's takes a long stretch to believe he holds any contempt toward Cardiff.
