Gareth Bale move to Cardiff City would 'make sense', says Wales boss Robert Page

It sounds like one of the most improbable transfers in football history - but Gareth Bale joining Cardiff City would "make sense", according to his Wales manager Robert Page.

Surely County make much more sense. Much closer to Celtic Manor.

Surely a nicer approach by Mr Bale would be to do the 6 months with or without World Cup qualification , as a sort of wanting to give back to my home community type of thing , could influence the the younger kids to see Cardiff as a place for a big star to land at , and prove its its not all about fame and money ?

I recall John Charles making his debut for us at home. Absolute Magic. And joining up with another Welsh legend, Ivor Allchurch who signed on the 1st August 1962.
Could history repeat itself?

The Shirt sales, sponsorship opportunities and general buzz would lift the club immensely, whether he played many games or not. Would gain huge media attention.

It would add thousands to the average attendance and boost sales of basically everything.
Not only that, our global exposure would be huge. A quick look shows Bale has 19 million followers on Twitter, the club itself has only 370k followers.

That’s probably a deal breaker - any room behind that wall?

He is still way too good for us and this level of football.
I would much prefer to see him playing for AC Milan or Bayern or Athletico or someone like that. ..... I think his last Wales performance showed that when he is fit and happy and feels a part of the team, he is can still be a top player.

I'm not so sure Morison is capable of man-managing a Gareth Bale.
Seeing scenes of Bale being kicked to shreds at Preston on a Wednesday and Morison saying in the post-match interview that he needs to be more physical to which Bale thinks, "alright **** this" and buggers off.
Hope it happens though :ayatollah:

Personally I’d rather he played for Cardiff City. I believe he will retire from international football after the World Cup and possibly retire altogether if we don’t qualify.

I'd rather he played for us than retire, but i think it'd be silly for him to retire...... unless his injuries are going to affect his well being after football. In which case , he shouldn't be playing in any league.

All day long! I don't want him to play for any other side than City now. His Wales antics are irrelevant to me.

He should go play in the MLS if he's got any sense

Because I'd say that the majority of people on here DO care about the Wales National Team.
I've been proud as punch watching him play for over ten years, because he represents Wales.
I think you mentioned before that you don't like international football because you don't believe in the concept of nations?

It is up to him and that's why I don't think he'll take a 270k a week pay cut. Could be wrong but what would you do?

After many years of earning millions per annum, I guess he has the choice. He has nothing to prove to anyone any more. He has his own goals now.
