    Bale struggling for fitness

    Even 20 minutes of him on Saturday against Birmingham would have seen us out of sight.

    I wonder if LA FC are beginning to wonder what they've bought?

    He would certainly have taken one or two of those chances against Birmingham but would he have been fit enough to play - ah well, we’ll never know!

    I'd be surprised by their naivety if they thought he'd ever be 100% or even close.

    As would have been here, surely you just pick and choose when he plays a part. Or he chooses I suppose.

    The last couple of years have been a "pre-season" for Bale.

    Why don't they just let him pick the team

    I know there are injuries etc, but in all seriousness how long does it take to get and maintain match fitness? It's their job. Even if you aren't playing (as he wasnt for some time) surely you just hit the gym and run a lot and maintain extreme fitness like any athlete?

    I'm being a bit naive I know, but I've always found the idea of a lack of match fitness curious

    Chellini hasn't played the last 2 either, I wouldn't read too much into it... yet.

    He never is 100% any more, who cares it's a stupid league anyway, it won't work out and he won't be anywhere near his best for Wales now, and probably injured.

    He'd wouldn't cope with the pace of our team and he knows it

    And ex stars are attracted to the casual approach and better lifestyle for elderly or crocked superstars .

    Apart from that you feel good about his move there though?
