Strong rumours it will be with Cardiff until the end of 2022.
This is exactly what i'd expect and we have had word in the past that Conte isn't keen. As much as i love him, i just don't think it makes sense for him or us considering he will be fully focused on the World Cup and not us.

Eriksen is a lot more likely than Bale, would take both personally but don't think Conte would take Bale.
Cardiff would be good though, it would be hard to watch him line up against us (queue the cup draw with Cardiff).

Can’t imagine Bale will want to play in the Championship where the domestic schedule is more rigorous and the football is more physical. If he comes back to play in the UK he’ll have plenty of Premier League sides interesting him — Spurs and Newcastle would be my guess of his most likely destinations.

I for one would absolutely take him and get Lucas to move on. Would be a perfect deputy for Kulusevski.

It’s up to Paratici and Conte but I think with 5 subs next year he would be a good addition. He will win you games against the smaller sides as he did for us last year

Play Bale in a Cup final and he will score and/or assist, amazing player. Literally any other player instead of him and Real Madrid don't win 4 CLs (and 3 in a row).

4x champs lge, 2 la liga etc etc etc.

Prob one of if not the best exports ever. That’s a waste? Dude your harsh.
I meant as in he got himself back into form with us last season. Completely wasted this season with Madrid, and looks to be done with competitive football.
