Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS
I wonder if his sponsor Adidas had anything to do with the move, seeing as they are also the shirt supplier for Los Angeles…
Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS
This thread is bonkers. Years of shite at Real Madrid so wants to go live the life in LA for a couple of years where he’ll be relatively unknown and not have a circus around him like he would everywhere here. How anyone can knock him for that instead of wanting to help us to 12th is mad
Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS
It made no sense him coming to us and probably would have been a disaster both financially and from a results standpoint. Whilst his recent goals from set pieces have helped Wales his open field play has been disappointing. his best years are behind him and we should now be focussing on the exciting youngsters.

He wants the penny and the bun
If a premiership club had been interested he would have been there like a shot

Not knocking him for that. It’s probably why we were never realistically going to sign him. The fact we’ve been strung along by him and his representatives is why this thread is bonkers and justifiably so.
Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS
Massive over reactions on here.
I think he has made his decision on what will be best for Wales at the World Cup.
As long he is match fit and firing for Wales in November, I don't care where he plays.
It really is for the best.
It would have been a circus if he was at City all the while we are trying to build a new team from scratch.
It really is for the best.

Indeed
He could easily have put the blocks on any deal when asked last week
He's 32 , he's a big boy now

Why have we been strung along by him? What does he gain out of that? Do you think it could’ve been a choice Cardiff v LA and he mulled it over and decided to go one way when he could’ve easily gone another.
He ruled out Getafe straight away, everything indicates he spoke to the club, including Dalman’s comments earlier. Not sure how people are leaping from that to him and his agent were having a chuckle all along. Baffling

He didn't make the decision to go over to Los Angeles for what was right for Wales
He clearly did what was right , in his view , for him
That's obvious
Now that's fair enough but let's not pretend Cardiff City were not pissed about in this matter
Bale could have dealt with that
But he chose not to
So plenty of people are a bit pissed off about it
And I think that's perfectly understandable
Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS
He probably looked at our squad and thought **** it, I’ll take the easier option.

When it comes to a view of our chances with this squad next season I hope you didn't give him a ring ?
This is all your fault
Thousands of kids hopes , ruined
I hope you are happy

I pride myself on being direct and brutally honest, even if it upsets people. It is what it is.
I never got caught up in the Bale nonsense and anyone who did and is now disappointed need to give their head a little wobble.

You sound like you are trying to convince yourself.
How is being an 8 hour flight away from the rest of the squad, medical team and manager, doing the 'best for Wales at the world cup'?
He won't get match fit in a walking football league for has beens and nobody's from South America. I'd rather he play 20 mins a week for Everton than this.

Why? It seemed like there was a possibility of him signing. He met with the manager. The club were apparently in negotiations. What's so fantastical about that? It's only nonsense now because it's over. Bale could have declared his interest in MLS at any time over the past week. But he didn't. He ruled out Getafe. He didn't rule out us. And he still hasn't said anything about LA.
