I think he'd actually find it easier at say a Newcastle than he would at any Championship club. As we found out when we came down "European Quality" doesn't count for much when you're playing 50 games a year minimum and none of them are easy.

Bit baffled by the dislike of him, great player and seems a harmless enough chap.
He would be a massive coup for a Championship side for a season or two. Simply on another level even still.

I will give you my reasons if I may? Dislike is a great word for it. I would go mild disdain perhaps, after a couple of pints of mild. The flag was just really unnecessary. It’s childish and escalatory. To then go back and antagonize by pretending to watch through toilet role tubes is just shithousery. So Mrs Bale. If your on already. Welcome to Stoke. Try the Oatcakes.

The flag thing was in retaliation to someone who had made that comment re him though...forget the player's name. As usual way too much made of it. The slightest thing players do gets blown up out of ridiculous proportions...we've seen it on here with tongue in cheek Tweets etc. I doubt they'd do it if some didn't get so wound up over it to be honest. No big deal to me although probably a bit daft but we live in an age where many can't wait to find the slightest thing to be upset and offended about as we saw in this case

Are people saying that Gareth Bale isn’t good enough for Stoke at the moment? Good Jesus. To be fair we have first hand experience of signing former world class players that turned out to be utter dross and a complete waste of money. Owen? Eidur? I think there were reasons for that. If people don’t think Gareth Bale is good enough for Stoke, then I just don’t know where to start with that.

Not only would he be an amazing signing for any club in this division, the shirt sales a lone and the attraction to other players knowing you would play with Bale is an absolute rock the city signing
Even though he’s a massive prick

Would've been romantic for Bale to finish his club career at home, but living in Beverly Hills with Long Beach down the road and multiple boutiques for the Mrs... not to mention probably £200k a week probably just edged it.

Interesting that the MLS season ends just before the World Cup starts. There will probably be speculation that Bale will retire after the World Cup, or the same speculation as the past few weeks on the clubs he'll join in January. Though there's no reason he still might not finish his career at a Welsh club.

Good option for him.
And it’s no one in this league should have been going near him.
He wants an easy gig, play in the World Cup and then either retire or earn easy money.
He’s not got the will to play in this league.
