Will Bale ever play for Cardiff City ???????

Looks like he loves it here, do you think he will do a Bellamy and play for Cardiff before he retires ???

Got a feeling he will, probably not until he's well past his best, but I think he would like to have a season or two at his home town club.......

People have been saying that about Ryan Giggs for years and he never did. Has he ever mentioned us? Ever? I can't see him playing for us at all.

We can always dream and a few years of dreams won't do us any harm

He cares and talks about Wales a lot more than Giggs. It could happen if we're playing in the top flight at the right time and when Bale is :old:

Well if him talking about Wales means that he is more likely to join us then surely he would join a WELSH league club, after all they are the true Welsh clubs.

Stupid I know but that is what you are saying.

I think he could, but obviously not for a while as the World is his oyster......

Where do you go from Real Madrid ???

I suppose after five years or so there he may fancy a run back in the Premiership with one of the top clubs or a spell in Italy ????

Giggs grew up in Manchester didn't he ???

Bale grew up here and loves Whitchurch and has many friends in Cardiff, I think he holds more affection to Cardiff than Giggs ever did.

He has been filmed in Whitchurch High many times, I think he is more likely too than Giggs.....

Ten or more years ago would have you thought it possible for Bellamy to play for us ???

Unlikely I know, but you never know, if the timing is right ???

Doubt it very much, if Bale starts becoming more influential like he already has done there.. they will keep offering contracts to make sure no-one touches him.

It's like Ronaldo going back to United, he would have to pay his own way out.. would Madrid let players like Ronaldo and Bale see their contracts out and f**k off on a free? They'd be least 35 if they do.

Depends where both parties are in ten years time, only way is up for Bale, he will go on to more greatness.

Bale will become one of the greats of the game, and in many ways I'm gutted that he's welsh, as his talent deserves to be on show at every international tournament too. If we ever get him, it won't be for another 12-13 years.

He loves Cardiff as a city, but I've never really heard him talk about the club itself. I'd say his relationship is with the country and city more than it is with the football club.

Nash, although I don't think he will play out his career at Madrid. Think he will end up back in the premier league at some stage

He's 25, let's see where he his in 5-8 years time. Personally I think he's only going to get better and better, I just honour the fact that one of the world's most high profile players is a proud Cardiffian.

At least we get to see him play for Wales. :D

Bale will do the circuit a la Beckham. He will play in the States one day is my guess
