Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

I honestly don't mind him not coming to Cardiff. There would have been a touch of "circus" around this season which might've interfered with the fact Morison's trying to build an actual team out of nearly 10 fresh faces and some youngsters. The sheer number of games in the Championship means he'd miss more than he'd play, and when he did play you'd probably get some rando leaving a foot in trying to make a name for himself or he'd twist an ankle on some rain sodden mud fiesta of a pitch.

At least in LA he'll get some glorified warm weather training in before Qatar, and considering that league's penchant for aging famous players he'll probably be more protected by the refs, too.

Who gives a shit. Bale didn't say anything that linked him with us, not once. We may have been an option in his mind, but an option is all we were, thinking about it, we are in a privileged position to be considered an option. Grown men getting shitty like they've not got an invite to a party is rather funny though.

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

I always said that Rambo is more likely to finish up his career here, he actually has real ties to our club

whilst Bale would have been great to watch, world class free kicks, inspiring youngsters ( both on and off the field ) and got the world talking about the old " roy of the rovers stuff " Bale doesn't really have a lot of ties to us, sure he comes from Cardiff , but thats about it, its a shame, would have been great to have seen him play for us while he still has some sort of legs

Now lets get Rambo signed up for 1 season and enjoy the rollercoaster ride that is CCFC

Agreed, he shouldn't be anywhere near lower half championship football. It would be embarrassing, and a bigger fall from grace than when Geoffrey Hayes, the presenter from Rainbow ended up stacking shelves in B+Q after falling on hard times.

We were definately in a privileged position to be considered an option, he's never talked down Cardiff City or did he rule us out of the reckoning and that's pleasant.

I've got no problem mind on the face of it the with people being disappointed that the hope that a long, long held speculation that he as a Cardiff lad may want one day to come and play his final days at Cardiff appears dead. No shame in wishing for a hero from our home town as wedded to the cause of Cardiff City and passionate about it as we are. Definate shame to turn to hatred towards him if anyone is mind, think that should be agreed, but a mistake to read disappointment as hatred or getting shitty in all cases.

Re: Gareth Bale chooses to play in the MLS

I wish him well in whatever he does as he seems a decent family orientated bloke, I remember he had his whole family at his Real Madrid signing which said a lot to me

But that twitter video looks certainly looks like it was filmed at the Hensol Training ground.
Not a great choice for his ‘unveiling’ considering all the media hype IMO

But aren't many of the MLS teams lower half championship or even league 1 standard?

I dont follow the MLS but yeah I dont think he should be playing in the Championship due to the standard holds up.

The highlights ive seen I get the impression that a lot of clubs play on artificial surfaces. I hope thats not the case.

Theres also been mention of him having lumps kicked out of him in the Championship as if its some sort of cloggers league.

Apart from a few teams (us for example) most play decent football.

I think the MLS will be far easier for him though. Nicer climate , almost certainly will add more to his wealth.

Hes made the decision which is best for him.

Just wished hed ruled us out the same time as he did with Getafe.

I thought the Getafe stuff was him just engaging in a bit of word play, as in - who's going to get taffy?
