I wonder if Bale cares ? 20:54 - Mar 23 with 2812 views

Nice work from Ian Mitchelmore.

Sections of the Spanish media have since taken aim at Wales' captain, with newspaper Marca plastering the image of a happy looking Bale and Joe Rodon in Welsh training gear alongside the headline "It doesn't hurt anymore". The accompanying text read: "Bale, who didn't even see the Clasico at the stadium, trains hard with Wales."

Eff em K.

As long as he plays well and gets us through I don't give a monkeys what they say.

And I bet Gareth doesn't either.

I think he checked out there long ago.

Retirement around the corner if we don't qualify apparently. He does look half the player he was sadly.

A goal every other game in La Liga.
4 champions league winners medals. Maybe a 5th this year for sitting on his bum.
Been a great player for Wales.

Treating him poorly, zidane mainly but also the hierarchy of the club. Suppose he hasn’t foregotten, treated bizarrely by the clubs fans, who are admittedly some of the most pathetic in the world.
If I was him I’d lap up my 400k a week and do as little as possible so not to further damage the body for the rest of one’s life

Thought he was going to Cardiff next season if Wales qualify , not as far fetched as it sounds

There are so many clubs who have " Bale's" but they just don't get paid as much. We have a couple of players that aren't getting in to the first team and are paid high wages by Swansea standards, Sorry Madrid, you gave him that contract and you can't offload him. We have young players who we can't offload who I thought should take a pay cut elsewhere for their own development but this isn't the case with Bale. He is at the end of his last contract (probably) and thank heavens he wants to play for his country.

Long ago they treated him badly despite a record of achievement.
It looks like he decided; 'ok, you look after you and I'll look after me'

Hats off to him.

Past what? Past his best?

Of course he is.

You are a very reactionary poster aye. The guy is thinking about playing in the championship next season for Gods sake.

I am not saying he is still of the standard to be rated in the top three or four in the world which od course he was in his prime.
I am referring to those who said he was so past it they wouldn't want him here at Swansea as he isn't good enough for us.
He would rip the Championship apart if he played for us.
Surely you aren't arguing with that as well ?
Or are you going to prove my point that you just react to my posts and argue for arguments sake ?
Anyway on a high after that game so not wasting my good feelings on you.

Bale to Swansea? by Dr_Parnassus 11 Mar 2022 9:45
As much as it would be hilarious to see the reaction, don’t see much legs in this one (or much legs left in him as it goes).

https://www.skysports.com/transfer/news/12691/12542544/gareth-bale-real-madrid-boss-carlo-ancelotti-all-but-confirms-welshman-will-leave-club-this-summer

“ Last month, Sky Sports News reported Bale is considering ending his playing career this summer if Wales fail to qualify for this year's World Cup, but might consider joining a Championship club if he helps his country make the tournament in Qatar.

Wales face a play-off against Austria in Cardiff in March and, if they win, they will then face a showdown against either Scotland or Ukraine for a place in the finals.

Wales have not qualified for the World Cup since 1958 and Bale is keen to represent his country at the tournament before the end of his career.

But if Wales fail at the play-off stage, retirement could be on the cards.

However, if Wales do reach their first World Cup in 64 years, Bale could consider signing a short-term deal with a Premier League or Championship side to ensure he is ready for the tournament.

It is believed Bale, who turns 33 in July, could consider joining Cardiff or Swansea.”

Here is the thread in question. Have a rifle through and tell me which poster said he wasn’t good enough for the championship.

Spoiler alert, nobody did.

Suppose you can accuse me of being obtuse again, to you know… actually expect what you say to be based on the truth.

As you obviously misread my post here is the relevant part again:
"And to think some numpties thought he was past it and wouldn't want him to play for Swansea ?"
Which part of that says " on this forum" or whatever ?
I also read and take part in many discussions on other Swans forums, as well as Facebook, Twitter, various What's App groups, replies to news stories in the press, plus actually talking to many Swans fans in the flesh, especially before, during and after games.
The world ( with all respect to Keith) does not just revolve around this forum.
Just enjoy the result if you can instead of trying to prove my opinion wrong on this one ?
Or as I said are you just arguing because it's me again, even though you cannot because I haven't cited the source of those opinions ( and please don't ask me to - normal people accept others opinions. Just do that for once )

Real Madrid are much bigger than Gareth Bale.
He maybe a big fish in the welsh pool, but he’s nothing more than a little tadpole in Madrid’s ocean.

Top 3 players in the world, to considering either retirement or playing in the Championship.

Id say that was half the player he was.

Please show me where I said "on this site" ?
As I explained to you I was referring to the whole of the social media as well as person to person discussions that I have been involved in.
Sadly that is obviously too much for you to comprehend
You literally have no understanding of what you are reading.
Also you accused me a while ago of "trolling" you ?
Clearly it is you who are now obsessed with my posts and cannot resist the opportunity to try and score points against me, even when, as in this case, you have no foundation to base your response on.

Of course you meant other places.

You tried to have a dig at a few people without expecting to be pulled up on it. You have a rich history of saying nonsense and then crying foul when asked to expand or show an example.

You won’t fool me I’m afraid. I wouldn’t bother trying.

What on earth are you on about you clown ?
I have told you what views I have stated and where. If you are too arrogant to accept it then that is your problem not mine.
Perhaps you should try spending some time away from here and consult with others on different outlets and with real fans.
Then you will actually realise you are talking crap as normal.
BTW stop trolling me eh ?

Correct, you don’t fool me.

I don’t believe for a second you were talking about people in other places. You were having a dig at people on here, and hoped nobody would question you.

Well I did and provided the discussion. You are just going to have to try to post with a bit of honesty. But hey, maybe I’m being obtuse right?
