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?

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

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.

Whoever thought he’d end up in a blue shirt opposite Asda and Costco must have really been let out of Whitchurch for the evening. There was never really going to be any chance of him driving down Leckwith Road once a fortnight to play for his “home town club”. It’s a no brainier. Better lifestyle, better climate, more importantly more money. How difficult was a decision like that ?

How very, very disappointing. Both for ourselves and the Wales football team

Just looking at who owns LA FC. An insane list of names with huge wealth, fame and influence.

No contest really.

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

“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.

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?

Tan was involved in the beginning but has since sold his shares.

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

I wonder if Bale's decision will have any bearing on the alleged Ramsey transfer?

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

I think it's pretty poor tactics feel City have been used by player and agent not about the money lol.

Hopefully we can move on without players like Bale detracting from the next development of our youngsters, always felt uneasy with a huge name in a dressing room, and the ability to be as one as a unit ...
