Gareth Bale not joining Cardiff 16:19 - Jun 25 with 2047 views | Illinoisblue | Going to LA in the MLS. Might as well retire from playing really. Essentially the same thing. | |

The weather will be pretty much identical though. Seems pointless. | |

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. | | | |
Gareth Bale not joining Cardiff on 17:21 - Jun 25 with 1805 views | J2BLUE | 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. | |

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

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. | |

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. | | | |
