Main reason I'd like us to sign him is because I don't want to see him ripping it up in the Premier league for one of our direct rivals.

Also why are fans so focused on the negatives and not the positives.

Because the negatives probably outweigh the positives

Bale just got his hatrick for Wales, making him the all time top scorer overtaking Ian Rush. Congrats.

I mean, China have been beyond shit but Bale was still playing with much more happiness and freedom than he ever does for Madrid. Absolutely needs to move.

You just know West Ham will have scouts watching this.

Expect them to have a Chinese keeper next season.

This. Embarrassing how some of our fans pine after him.

We'd just love for him to ply his trade with us once again, esp. with poch at the 'elm.

You never know, he maple some other top players to the club.
I'd certainly have him in the lime-up and i dont think he'd make an 'ash of it - i think he wood do oak-k.
He's in his prime, not some an-teak and will always be better than Theo Walnut and Nathan Redwood.
He's birch-ually world class still.

Don't know why people would mope and wenge about his return, when he could be the cherry on our cake

and finally, sorry...

When i've seen him this season (i've no idea how fit he is) he appears slower both off the mark (this could be lack of match sharpness) and when going tits out.
It also appears and has been the case (just when i've watched them) since they signed him that his team mates seem very reluctant to pass to him (maybe there's clique's at that club)

If he's available at the right price (whatever that is), is hungry for it still, is happy to play the squad game and most of all not carrying any de-generative fitness issues he'd be useful option to have around.
He's 29 this summer and his wages would be daft that would be the litmus test for me if he wants to prove a point or is driven by money. He also could prove to be the example to our more prized younger players of don't rush off to the big clubs grass isn't always greener.

Is he still heavily backed by Adidas?

He plays for arguably the biggest club in the world on a contract worth 600k a week and has 3 champions league winners medals. Not sure he's an example of not rushing off to the big clubs.

We need proven quality and winner's in the team now, Bale has an abundance of both. If there's even the smallest chance that he's willing to come back and lead us into the new stadium, we should be all over it.

If he was our only signing this summer, I would be ecstatic.

If we could only have one signing id prefer Sessegnon.

Not that I’d say no to Bale mind.

And if it’s one or the other we’d go for Sessegnon. Could be a genuine choice if rumours are to be believed.

Anyone who doesn’t like the prospect or idea of Eriksen, Son, Alli, Kane and Bale in the first team has serious issues.

Unfortunately we can’t afford and would never pay the wages! However I think there are a few that would so if he doesn’t get more pitch time at RM he will be off in the summer- could be England but definitely not Spurs!

6-0 against China? - for a country with a population of 1.5Bn, surely they can find 11 blokes who can play football.
Numbers don't mean a thing. England have 150 times many more people than Iceland but couldn't even beat them in a tournament. In that theory we should be thrashing them

as a Chinese I can tell you we can't.
parents generally do not want their kids to choose football as their career. the youth development is much, much inferior than companions in East Asia like South Korea and Japan.
off topic though...

Even still, purely just mathematically they should be dominant compared to Wales puny population
