‘ Gareth’s Bales Summer Move / Next Club ‘

Fri Mar 25, 2022 11:25 am

Gareth Bale is a free agent this Summer.



Ian Rush:

Gareth Bale’s next move: “He’ll keep his options open and one of those offers might be Cardiff. It would not surprise me if he went there. He’s a Cardiff boy and even though they’re in the Championship I don’t think that’ bother him.”


“He certainly wouldn’t be going there for the money but it ticks a lot of other boxes. He’d be doing Wales proud because it’s his hometown team and it would allow him to prolong his international career if he’s playing at a less demanding level in his club career.”

Bale said a few months ago that of Wales qualify he will play for one of the Welsh championship sides

Cardiff had the advantage in that he and his family are from Cardiff. Cardiff train and the same resort as Wales. And most importantly - we have better golf courses nearby .(as opposed to west Wales)

Bale is close to becoming the greatest Welsh player of all time imo. Playing for Cardiff for the right reasons would solidify that making him a Legend. :bluescarf: come on Bale you know it makes sense.

Come to think of it. It would be great to get Bale here and then pursuade others, in the Welsh side, to either join us or join us on loan

- and having the Welsh team playing week in week out before the World Cup finals!

Well with Josh Murphy leaving the building in June the No11 shirt is available.

Got to be a deal clincher surely. ;)

I’d be amazed if this even got past people talking in the press stage.

But what a boost it would give to the squad and crowd if it did happen.

It would even help attract some good Prem loans with young players wanting to play alongside him.

We can dream ……………………

If it did happen what would it do for season ticket sales, merchandise, publicity and attracting better players to the club. It would be win win win, as long as his salary demands weren't excessive!
As someone pointed out we can but dream.

Quietly confident that if he stays fit and healthy this will happen Annis :bluescarf: :ayatollah: :bluebird:

Not saying it wouldn’t happen because it could genuinely be a possibility but can you find where he said that as he’s not said that publicly

Not dampening; but Wales have to qualify first...

Gareth Bale, an incredible player and a good man, would be a sensational capture for the Welsh capital club but he will have options that will depend on the next Wales result and could potentially include retiring from the game

If Wales progress, finally becoming a Bluebird has so many advantages for him, the Bluebirds and Wales

But it's just worth remembering, like with Giggs, Bellamy and others, he owes us nothing as a club; we neither produced or deveoped him at any point

Craig was the amazing exception to the general 'never played for the Bluebirds' club and is now a Bluebird hero, just like the home-produced 'Rambo' and just as Gareth Bale could still be...

Gareth's 'love' is for his home city (the only real one in Wales, St David's apart) and his country

If either or both of those are the draw for next season, I'll take it with immense gratitude; but if he doesn't, I won't hold it against him

We would all love for him to come to Cardiff City. Does anyone know what his wealth is?
Perhaps he could become part of the ownership, or Director of football, what is the option of playing every now and again

Not a gambler but if I was I would put a dangerous amount on him coming here at 6/1 on Sky bet

What an incredible thought; and I know 'Rambo' wouldn't be averse to coming back to where it all started at some point, so if a package (maybe sponsored?) could be put together...?

Celtic Manor Resort (with free golf membership) for Gareth and Caerphilly Garden Centre for 'Rambo' ;) :D

He has stated he wants to try his luck on the euro Pro tour, if wales qualify for wc then he will sign a short term contract with us.
If Wales don't qualify he is retiring

There's a little bit of truth in that ,what I've heard in the past .Bale is a very wealthy man .
