We are the only team who will play him/rest him on demand and it would be near his family before the highlight of his international career. What’s not to love?
Doesn't work like that with Mr Bale, thing is, he possesses more vision, the ability to pick a pass, Teqhnique, and intelligence to put himself in goal scoring positions than anyone on our squad. It's a case of getting him up to scratch in terms of playing games and managing his work load in certain areas of the pitch. If we can get that right then we've got ourselves a player! He can't run anymore, or extend himself, he knows what will happen, so it's a case of getting him and the players around him right.
I have a novel idea. Why don’t we all just wait and see?
Well if he signs we should get him ' as fit as butchers dog ' with all that running around we have expected of our forwards of the past 😉
Be gutting if it don’t happen now. He ain’t half teasing us..
Obviously I'm pleased hes signing for us, for pretty much free we can't turn him down. The publicity alone makes it worth it.
However im not sure i agree with the enthusiasm of his signing will make us favourites for promotion. In reality he will hardly play and when he does will be absolutely crunched by the opposition looking to make a name for themselves and put him out particularly with us having England in our group. From a wales perspective all I can see is him being injured fairly quickly in the championship and then missing the world cup.
They must think we’re playing over Pontcanna on a Sunday morning. The Championship is a decent standard of football, if the game was still like the brutal era I’d imagine the lower sides in La Liga would be looking to bully the Real Madrid and Barcelona superstars. They never really could though because as skilful as the players are they’re also tough bastards, that’s why they’re at the top.
Where have you read that City fans reckon his signing will make us favourites for promotion? This thread, at the time of writing, is 4 pages long, I cannot find one poster saying that signing Bale would make us favourites for promotion.
What it would do, however, is put more 'bums on seats' and increase the commercial revenue of the club. It would also help attract better loan signings (what club wouldn't want their player to go and play alongside Bale and learn from him??). A player who can create time for himself, put his foot on the ball, look up and ping accurate passes.
I just couldn't envisage a team with Bale at its heart still serving up the dirge we have had over recent seasons. Bale would make things happen both on and off the pitch.
I think he'll sign.
After the Wales games he's been able to go straight home rather than back to the Vale. I think he looks like he's only now doing it for fun and enjoys the iconic status leading Wales and could get a similar ride with Cardiff.
given the current squad I'd say we would do well to finish in the same position as last year, hopefully some signings will improve that outlook.
if we signed bale and Ramsey that obviously would make us a lot stronger, not automatic promotion candidates I don't think but perhaps in the picture for the playoffs
