I wouldn't say better off without him as he improves pretty much any squad in the entire world if he is included.
BUT I would point out that whilst we would all be completely boosted if he signs here to a level we have never seen before and above even the first Bellamy signing....plenty of other teams have been promoted without Bale, I calculate 60 teams have been promoted in the last 20yrs alone from the Championship...and none of them had Bale included

So YES we want him, but should he choose to go elsewhere sadly then we can't change that and we are still Cardiff City so it's not the end of the world.
Let's just hope he chooses to come here because it would be huge not just for the current team but for future teams too as it could kickstart something special. This time tomorrow we may all be celebrating so lets see what happens.
