Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

What this saga DID do, if there was ever any truth to it of course, was give us some
genuine (and ultimately misplaced) excitement alongside a series of free signings, many of whom I have never heard of.

Oh well……

I'm just off out to draw a big cock on his Mural in Whitchurch Village.

It's already under way..

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

Nailed on bounty on his head, hopefully he stays off the pitch until after the world cup. After that, they can do what they like to him.

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

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

I can see Rambo wanting to come home, he actually has ties tour club

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

I wish Bale well.

Makes sense for his fitness.

MLS season finishes on October 9. MLS Cup Final on November 5 (if LA FC make it) 16 days before World Cup begins and a week before the Championship ends.

Plenty of time for Bale to prepare for Qatar. (And climate in LA more suited to the temperature in Qatar!)

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

They are top of the league and likely to play from now through to November. Lovely warm weather and a chance to look at the opposition. Bit worried about being nobbled by the Yanks but you can’t blame the guy. Just very disappointing and we could have done without all the hype and the will he won’t he. A lot will feel let down.

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

I’d like to think we were in the running right up to the death. He dismissed Getafe in a heartbeat, if he was of the opinion that a move to us was out of the question I’m sure he’d have put us out of our misery. Whilst not knowing him personally we’ve all followed his career, his interviews etc quite closely. He doesn’t come across as the type who’d string someone along, he just doesn’t. An outside influence/reason maybe at play here, a reason why he hasn’t signed for any UK club (he’s no doubt had offers). A multi millionaire moving countries for employment reasons may have a few implications, HMRC for one. Perhaps keeping away from employment in the UK is a factor, a huge financial factor that couldn’t be overcome.

Might be a slight over reaction but I actually think he is the biggest twat in the universe. Tbf I still can't look at Kieffer either. Hopefully Rambo doesn't snub us too otherwise the world cup is going to be hard work.

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

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.

That's about my take on it aswell.

Can't agree more ..

He knew he must know he was raising the fans of City falsely in my view ..

Very poor form ..

And to say it wasn't about money or level he played at makes even worse ..

Money talks folks ...

He could have played for nothing and got back the value in tax credit ..

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

Signed with LA til 2023, he’ll need somewhere to go in August 2023 for a year to see him through to Euro 2024…

Tbf the MLS is lower than championship standard so he's partly right.

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.

Calm down, it was always a long shot and it's not like he owes us anything
