Fùck!

[alan_corneli]

Still chasing the money.... greed b'stard.

[Wash DC Blue]

Disappointing, wish him all the best though obviously.
Hope it serves him and Wales well.

[dandywarhol]

He, almost went to China. What did anyone really expect? One last pay day.

[Moodybluebird]

Not too disappointed. The season would have revolved around him at a time when SM is bedding in a new team. Yes it would have been great to have a world class player in our team but at least now there are no distractions.

Whilst a little disappointed, I said similar in the other fred

So the Yanks can nobble him before the WC rather than the English Championship defenders.

Interesting to see that only 7 out field players of the last US squad play in the MLS. Their squad is scattered across 11 different leagues

He won’t be going for the money as he’s not a nominated player, most he’ll be on is 700k a year. If he wanted money he’d have gone somewhere else.

It’ll be a lifestyle decision and I can’t say I blame him tbh.

Now there's a thought

[Spooky Tree]

Bizarre move. All the best to him.

[IanD]

It's Toshack in reverse, sort of. Gutted. Loan spell in Dec/Jan? Wonder if he fancies Stoke away as his first match in a City shirt?

[alan_corneli]

Will he get booed at Wales' next home game?

[Former Labour leader]

Yes I am gutted. Dont blame Bale for going to USA but feel City have been played.
Will support Bale 100% for Wales but the aura has slipped for me a bit

Everybody says he's such a nice bloke, but personally, I think he's a plick. There's been weeks and weeks of speculation about him joining the Bluebirds. He was quick enough to say he was joining Getafe. If he had an respect for our club and our supporters he could have nipped the rumours in the bud at the very beginning as he obviously had no intention of joining Cardiff City.

How do you know he had no intention? He probably didn't nip it in the bud because he was seriously considering it, but then in the end decided to go with another option he was offered. That's his right, and to be honest who can blame him

Personally, I would also have have opted for a year or two in the US if I was in his position, it's a no-brainer isn't it?

[Wales-Bales]

“I feel like I’ll never really lose my quality on the ball. I guess it’s a conversation to be had.

I thought his quality dropped off in the last game when compared to many of those around him.

You and the media were the ones who built up all this furore around him possibly signing.

Maybe he was just telling the truth regards it being an option...until he had to make a choice.

Grow up for ****s sake and stop acting like a spoilt brat / Real Mardid fan.

[The Lone Gunman]

I recall him saying the opposite.
