Going to LA in the MLS. Might as well retire from playing really. Essentially the same thing.

Don’t blame him. Why would you chose a 46 game relegation battle with Cardiff when you could play fewer than half the number of games in California?

The weather will be pretty much identical though.

Seems pointless.

Zlatan has scored 32 goals for AC Milan in the last two years.

Much slower game in Italy, the play fewer games and, unlike Bale, Zlatan 's game has never been about pace.

From what I’ve seen of the MLS, the standard is about championship level so it won’t be a walk in the park for him. The fans over there seem to be quite passionate as well.

Can't really blame him. He will get to live a lifestyle over there that will keep him in top shape for the world cup.

One wrong lunge from a Championship clogger and his dream is over.

Truly impaired.

I’m not convinced it’s Championship quality. More L1 from what I’ve seen.

His agent should have approached Newcastle. I can only imagine how much money they probably would have thrown at him to get him

Lets be honest, football is a career and a club is an employer to many. In reality he wasnt going to join a championship club against a lifestyle choice

I’m not sure his heart is in football anymore, though he clearly loves Wales, it’s a shame he didn’t sign for Cardiff would have been exciting times there and quite a story. But you can see why semi retirement in LA appeals.

The only Muff in Town.

Thought he might sign with LIV Golf 😃

He loves his cash and is probably a better player than a few of them.

In fairness, Bale’s hasn’t been lately either. His days of lung busting runs and getting in behind to the byeline are long gone.

He's not a designated player so his salary can only be roughly 10k a week, which Cardiff could have matched. Presumably it's boiled down to choosing to live in Los Angeles.

Or maybe just not wanting to challenge himself in the PL / Championship week in, week out. Big fish out there, in smallish pond. And less likely to tarnish his legacy.

I don't think he wants to challenge himself at all. Not sure he really cares one iota beyond playing/being fit for Wales in a few months. He'd have been an absolute circus if he went to Cardiff.
