    When it comes to a view of our chances with this squad next season I hope you didn't give him a ring ?

    This is all your fault

    Thousands of kids hopes , ruined

    I hope you are happy

      I pride myself on being direct and brutally honest, even if it upsets people. It is what it is.

      I never got caught up in the Bale nonsense and anyone who did and is now disappointed need to give their head a little wobble.

            I recall him saying the opposite.

                I think he has made his decision on what will be best for Wales at the World Cup.

                As long he is match fit and firing for Wales in November, I don't care where he plays.

                It really is for the best.
                It would have been a circus if he was at City all the while we are trying to build a new team from scratch.

                It really is for the best.
                You sound like you are trying to convince yourself.

                How is being an 8 hour flight away from the rest of the squad, medical team and manager, doing the 'best for Wales at the world cup'?

                He won't get match fit in a walking football league for has beens and nobody's from South America. I'd rather he play 20 mins a week for Everton than this.

                  Why? It seemed like there was a possibility of him signing. He met with the manager. The club were apparently in negotiations. What's so fantastical about that? It's only nonsense now because it's over. Bale could have declared his interest in MLS at any time over the past week. But he didn't. He ruled out Getafe. He didn't rule out us. And he still hasn't said anything about LA.

                        Left be honest, if he had have come here, we as fans would have expected “Bellamy” type performances, chasing back, closing down and generally showing energy all over the pitch.

                        We wouldn’t have got that and I think after the initial “honeymoon” period fans might have got a bit frustrated with him.

                        Would a few of our fans, expected “top of the league performances” every time he played.

                        Let’s be honest here, we’re not the most patient of fans, are we ?

                          I don't see how we are in any big mulling over decision mind and do think he could have stopped any rumours and the like a while back.

                          To drop to the wages and championship would only be because he wanted to be at home, be in the same training base as the Welsh FA.

                          Hundreds of other clubs would offer him better money, plenty of cities a better lifestyle.

                          Either he wanted to come play at home or he didn't. He could pick almost any country to go and play in, any top division.

                          Maybe at best we were the back up option, but were never likely to be his destination given he really could almost pick anywhere outside of the big clubs ( if his wage demands were realistic obviously).

                          Can't blame him for going there but it's not with the world cup in mind is it, he should have gone straight to Qatar for that.

                            Yep - it would seem like he thought right ive got to pay (or be seen to pay) some lip service to CCFC and see what it's like to meet with them etc...(maybe properly keeping us in some consideration) but then having met with us, he went and probably moments later on the same day walked off to a quiet bit of the training complex to put on his LAFC hat and kit and do his video.

                            I'm putting words in his mouth/thoughts in his mind but I dare say he had an idea that MLS and LA may be the move for him long, long ago and it may well have been some annoyance to him that he had to be seen to keep CCFC in consideration. What is telling is I've seen him now don plenty of clubs shirts making heart symbols over their badge with his hands, and I haven't and don't think I ever will see him do the same with a city shirt. We flatter ourselves to think he is anywhere close to truly being that bothered with us.

                              This thread and social media over last 2 days shows why him coming would have been a disaster for all.

                              After the initial excitement (which would have been fun) it would have all turned sour very quickly i think. I thought that anyway but the reaction to him not coming proves it.
