So we build our 2022-23 team around Bale, and then he moves to the the MSL after we spent the previous few months getting him fit. Sounds good to me

I think we will get him for one season, then see how it goes from there, as you state we will use him towards recruiting players and a style of play for when he's available along with options for when he's not.So we build our 2022-23 team around Bale, and then he moves to the the MSL after we spent the previous few months getting him fit.

I thought he only said he had a bad back
We are the only team who will play him/rest him on demand and it would be near his family before the highlight of his international career. What’s not to love?
Doesn't work like that with Mr Bale, thing is, he possesses more vision, the ability to pick a pass, Teqhnique, and intelligence to put himself in goal scoring positions than anyone on our squad. It's a case of getting him up to scratch in terms of playing games and managing his work load in certain areas of the pitch. If we can get that right then we've got ourselves a player! He can't run anymore, or extend himself, he knows what will happen, so it's a case of getting him and the players around him right.
That would be good management in my opinion.
I said to my daughter, we could use him for 60 mins and then take a rest,Good luck telling Gareth he is dropped
I think Bale will play 60/70 minutes in the 3. Who knows, he might be fairly fit. He played every minute in the Euros, didn't he? I think he'll probably see it as his last chance so will push himself.
I have a novel idea. Why don’t we all just wait and see?
I didn't know he did windows, 60 mins is just enough time for you to pop out for lunch
fair play thats funnyI didn't know he did windows, 60 mins is just enough time for you to pop out for lunch
But the jokes on you are Im doing a month of cleaning gutters, so Ha !
...Evens is a double your money bet
Have you imagined this?
Well if he signs we should get him ' as fit as butchers dog ' with all that running around we have expected of our forwards of the past 😉
Be gutting if it don’t happen now. He ain’t half teasing us..
Obviously I'm pleased hes signing for us, for pretty much free we can't turn him down. The publicity alone makes it worth it.
However im not sure i agree with the enthusiasm of his signing will make us favourites for promotion. In reality he will hardly play and when he does will be absolutely crunched by the opposition looking to make a name for themselves and put him out particularly with us having England in our group. From a wales perspective all I can see is him being injured fairly quickly in the championship and then missing the world cup.
‘Crunched’?? Football has moved on from the Ron Harris & Norman Hunter era. Bellamy coped ok as would Bale.
Exactly, I sometimes wonder if some on here actually watch Championship football.
They must think we’re playing over Pontcanna on a Sunday morning. The Championship is a decent standard of football, if the game was still like the brutal era I’d imagine the lower sides in La Liga would be looking to bully the Real Madrid and Barcelona superstars. They never really could though because as skilful as the players are they’re also tough bastards, that’s why they’re at the top.
MLS is happening now and is over by October 9th. You'd think he'd want to be playing through October and into November.
Where have you read that City fans reckon his signing will make us favourites for promotion? This thread, at the time of writing, is 4 pages long, I cannot find one poster saying that signing Bale would make us favourites for promotion.
What it would do, however, is put more 'bums on seats' and increase the commercial revenue of the club. It would also help attract better loan signings (what club wouldn't want their player to go and play alongside Bale and learn from him??). A player who can create time for himself, put his foot on the ball, look up and ping accurate passes.
I just couldn't envisage a team with Bale at its heart still serving up the dirge we have had over recent seasons. Bale would make things happen both on and off the pitch.
Wow half empty glass ???? Your glass is running on the dregs mate ��
I think he'll sign.
After the Wales games he's been able to go straight home rather than back to the Vale. I think he looks like he's only now doing it for fun and enjoys the iconic status leading Wales and could get a similar ride with Cardiff.
Definately not favourites for promotion far from it so far, but I think our odds of winning promotion will move from now to the start of the season, we are an unknown entity even we don't know if we will be relegated, promoted or anywhere inbetween right now?
given the current squad I'd say we would do well to finish in the same position as last year, hopefully some signings will improve that outlook.
if we signed bale and Ramsey that obviously would make us a lot stronger, not automatic promotion candidates I don't think but perhaps in the picture for the playoffs
