5th signing needs to be Bale

Postby Pantmawr Bluebird » Fri May 20, 2022 5:37 pm

If the rumours are true and there's absolutely any chance of GB coming to us the club should push for this before the Wales game.

Just imagine the pulling power he would have?

If Josh Laurent is a top target and we've offered a contract would he honestly turn down playing with GB? Or any other player for that matter.

My point is let's not miss out on any of our targets (money aside) just for the sake of a few weeks when we know players will surely want to get onboard with one of the best Welsh players playing beside them :ayatollah:

I imagine he would have been the first signing announced if it was in place. This is why I think it's dependent on the Wales game.

I also expect we won't see anything about our new kit until this is settled either. Imagine a Bale + new kit launch combination :ayatollah: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

The second week of June could be one to go down in history!

Obviously won't be anything until after the Wales game against Scotland or Ukraine.

Remember he is still playing under contract for another few weeks.

As if there is not enough on the Wales game already for us city fans without having this potential signing also hanging on the result.

Here’s a completely hypothetical question -
Wales quality and Bale doesn’t come
Wales miss out and bale comes

Second choice for me

Either double fantastic or double awful.

Don’t forget he’s still under contract and Madrid still have a couple of big games left, then it’s straight onto the Wales camp.

They just won’t want any distractions until after that.

Correct; and nice to see a 'thinling' comment on a subject that will sort itself out one way or t'other

Personally, I don't give a fig what signing order Gareth might come here in; just so long as he did :ayatollah:

What a daft post. If only things were that simple!

Bale is the A side in that negotiation. He'll decide IF and when he comes!

The daily paper is saying GB has agreed to sign for Spurs.
