    Re: It's happening....

    I really don’t think there’s any truth in the MLS stuff. First thing he did when he got a chance was come to the vale, whether it was a fitness check or to speak to Morison who knows, but I just feel he wants to be based around there.

    MLS just doesn’t make sense to me. Long haul flights back and forth to where his family are? Nah.

    He was off to China a few years ago.

    LA Galaxy or China.?

    I think its a straight choice between us and the MLS and hes undecided.

    Maybe hes waiting to see if Ralls stays.😂

    I think we may be missing the obvious here,we are currently on signing number 9, surely from a marketing point of view Bale is insisting on being unveiled as singing " 11 "

    The ‘singing 11’, I’d call that a choir

    What is he trying to do?

    Has he actually said?

    Let’s be honest MLS is easy money. If it wasn’t for the WC it would be a no brainer

    Maybe some are putting too much emphasis on the world cup, which for us may well possibly be just 3 matches.

    He has been happy to be not match fit for the last 2 seasons.

    I get the impression if he could be in his condition as he is now, partially match fit, injury free he would take that all day.

    If DC United are the rumoured club, aren’t they the guys that own Swansea? If we have turned down Bale’s demands then is there the option of MLS until October then a move back to Swansea on loan afterwards?

    Skybet change again.

    Mls 8/13
    City 5/4

    Now odds against.

    Wouldn't read too much into that yet.

    I understand that only a small bet can change the odds but the trend is worrying nonetheless.

    Re: It's happening....

    What’s making me feel confident about him signing, is the way we’ve signed energetic mid-fielders, to win the ball back, then give it to Bale, who will hopefully find the killer pass foreword.

    A bit like Nobby Stiles used to do for Man United & England. Win the ball and give it to Bobby Charlton

    Yeah small bets.

    If anyone really had inside info that Bale 100% wants to come and its just the finances we would be well odds on.

    It all suggests he hasnt decided.

    Just saw the odds on sky bet - we are now 7/4 against with any mls club odds on - just hope he puts us out of our misery soon so we can move on

    Then he goes to Swansea in October to continue his fitness??

    He did say his next move would cause carnage but that was ages ago 😂😂

    The odds have changed dramatically this morning. The MLS option is now 2/5 with SkyBet and as short as 2/9 with both Betfair and Paddy Power. However, City are still 4/6 favourites with Bet Victor.

    If you had accounts Bet Victor and any of the other three you could make money either way. Provided, of course, he doesn't sign for someone else altogether.

    So this did end up as an arb (arbitrage), where you are guaranteed to make a profit by backing both outcomes. As you say, at the time it wasn't as he could have gone somewhere else, but with City being 4/6 with BV, I'm guessing they'd have gone around 5/4 on the MLS, giving a nice little profit.

    Re: It's happening....

    So, if as reported this deal is not taking a designated player spot, then the maximum salary Bale can be offered by LAFC under salary cap rules is around $12000 per month - is that right?

    LAFC is where there's noise.

    I can't wait until this Galacticos circus is over - one way or another.

    Other than city fans, I can't see there being much interest or volume in the betting.

    Unless you’re welsh, you would have seen him be injured for most of the last two years, have a very average Rangers spell where he missed a pen in the final, and didn’t play that well against Ukraine. I’m surprised there’s even a market for it
