If he goes to America then it was obviously about money, even if he went to Southampton etc at least it would of been footballing reasons

What a rollercoaster, and what a shame.

It would have been some coup, but not meant to be in the end. I don't think we will know the true facts, how close were we, or who is to blame, it's all hearsay. Let's get back to supporting the players who are here, who have joined, and onwards and upwards :bluescarf:

The US was the only one that didn't make sense to me being so far away from the Wales set up but at the end of the day maybe it was down to money all along & those of us who supported him seeing out his contract at RM were wrong about the real reasons.

It's been confirmed he's agreed to join LA in major league. Can't believe we fluffed this up so badly?

Fabrizio Romano apparently a respected journalist says we weren’t even close to signing him so let’s not slag the club off eh.

Well he can join the celebrity circus that is LA and play on plastic pitches .... big question is were we ever in with chance of him coming here? Seems not...

He almost went to China. What did anyone really expect? One last pay day.

I have never read once that gareth bale himself was interested in coming to Cardiff. I think a lot of people think they are in the know when they know nothing. Let's move on

I think most fans deep down themselves think themselves. Apart from as you say people who proclaim to be in the know.

If it was a battle of offers we were always going to lose, we are competing in the half a million a year bracket, Gareth has just left the £30 million bracket :o .

What makes no sense is how we have even been brought into the equation if it is about offers.

LA still makes little sense, its 11 hours away, i doubt the family is going to live there for a year or two, the security would cost a fortune and although he is undoubtedly on another level to Beckham as a footballer he barely raises a murmur as a celebrity.


I still think (hope) its a diversion.

I agree. Unless its money, a one year contract is nonsense from a footballing sense with the World Cup coming up. A Premier League club i could understand - but MLS?

It wasn't a rumour because his agent himself spoke about it being complicated

Re: UPDATED GUTTED“ 100% Gareth Bale “

Unpopular opinion but for Wales’ sake, I think this is the best move for him. Regular first-team football, training facilities that probably knock spots off what we can offer, in a warm climate that will probably add a bit of longevity to his career and better prepare him for Qatar. Who knows, if ever he was to have an appetite to play in the Euros 2024, he’d probably gain it playing over there rather than here.

Comical to see he’s gone down in people’s estimations when he was probably never coming here in the first place, despite all of those ‘in the know’ claiming otherwise.

Reportedly so. We’ve seen all sorts of reports the past few days and of which none had any substance.

Actually, yes that is true. I will wait and see what comes out if the move to LA is true, but I don't see the point of blaming certain people on either side - maybe it was just too complicated in the end. I still don't recall GB saying in public that he was interested in coming though.
