    Anyway, we’ll apparently see one way or the other in the next few days.
    I've read plenty of player interviews where they've said representing their country at the World Cup is the highlight of their career. I haven't seen much from Bale over the years to imagine him saying anything different after he retires. So being a few months away from the World Cup, I would think it's his primary focus.

    I said he could still play in the US at 35, he's quite capable of it, not that he definitely would still be playing then.

    I’m sure it’s his primary focus (and maybe his only focus) in football terms, but I’m sure he’s got other priorities in life. I get the strong impression that Bale’s next move is very likely to be his last. I’ve got no doubt that he’ll be focusing on more than just the World Cup.

    Replying to @BarmyBluebird94 @GarethBale11 @CardiffCityFC

    My feeling was very much Cardiff Dan, 90-plus per cent, but then I'm told today it might be 'drifting away'. I genuinely think he's completely torn, could go either way. While that's the case, I retain hope...
    I'd take 90%

    Paul's covering the bases.

    Good question….
    Surely with a young family you'd rather pick somewhere you'll be living long-term, near the rest of your extended family rather than the other side of the Atlantic? I think you've made good points on why he'd go elsewhere, but surely family reasons is one of our few advantages?

    Paul’s post out me into a right old grump. Checking my wallet for the receipt for the cava to take it back to Co-Op

    If he doesn't sign at this point it's TLG's fault.

    Let’s assume the offers from America are attractive in financial terms. Why would anyone like Bale who has just spent nearly a decade in Spain want to move back home now instead of embarking on another overseas adventure for a couple of years, especially as his career is drawing to a close? I’d imagine doing so would be an exciting idea for him and his family, but who knows? Only they do I guess.

    Equally having spent time away they may want to return home rather than settle in to a new country, culture etc only to move away again if they want to live in Wales

    It will be. I bought a season ticket for the first time in a decade a couple of months ago. The only way is down.

    I thought you said you would never give a penny of your hard earned money to the club whilst Tan was in charge

    In a few years he can go on holiday all he likes playing the best golf courses in the world everyday, he can only play football for so long….

    Re: It's happening....

    I think he'll sign to an MLS club on the condition he is then loaned to Cardiff until (their) next season
    As much as i'd LOVE to see him here if it's not a full season then i'd rather not do it at all
