Everything I would have thought, the fans would be lifted and help the team, season tickets and merchandise would see a significant lift in sales.
It would help btring on the younger players with a touch of proffesionalism, it would help with recruitment, if he does sign, it will be much bigger than the Bellamy signing, and could change things in the same way.
He could be our Cantona and put us back in the right direction.
What else would he add or change?
Or our Robbie Fowler ….
Agree with all of the above, although actually I think he may have less of an impact on the pitch than we think, but time will tell (if it happens anyway).
I think it will generally raise the profile of the club, which is a hard thing to quantify, but it will raise the bar in terms of perception and helping to attract other players etc. You would like to think we could get the odd 30,000 crowd in pre-season and with general interest in Welsh football rising, people would want to interview Bale and by definition that would help City.
Unless we were gonna pay obscene wages and he subsequently failed miserably, then I can so nothing but benefits on and off the pitch
Insurance premiums
We’d have a better chance of avoiding relegation
We wouldn’t need to make up a new song for a player.
The only real comparison I can make is when John Charles signed for us back in the early sixties - Charles didn’t have a great effect in terms of results or gates I believe, but I think Bale would on the latter certainly and the former probably given the low base he’d start on in terms of league position. City have not been fun to watch in years as far as I’m concerned, Bale would change that.
one player ain't going to change our season , great if he come but looking forward to what maybe ollie or ebou can do ? maybe bring some extra cash with increased crowd and shirt sales but need some of the new signings and youngsters to step up to the plate.
Probably my underpants as the excitement would be a bit too much
We’d sing wales-golf-Cardiff a lot
I think it immediately gives us a head start in terms of loan options. Top clubs loaning out their players will almost certainly think highly of their youngsters training/playing with someone of Bale's calibre, which no one else in the league would be able to offer.
That's why it is quite important if it is going to happen it happens as quickly as possible.
Agreed it will change the profile of the club from that point of view, in fact Morison has already done that ina short space of time he's taken some good young players and done a good job of offering good experience and raising their profiles, but having Bale would certainly take it to another level.
