If people power counts for anything, Gareth Bale will sign on the dotted line for Cardiff City in the coming days.
After that utter nonsense he had to put up with at Real Madrid, you'd hope the love he so evidently has in his home city would count for something.
Bale may have been a villain to sections of the Madrid fan base and media; the precise opposite would be the case here. There could be no bigger sporting idol in the Welsh capital.
