It makes complete sense. He will do well in a league that from a timing standpoint keeps him fit during the summer and into the fall. He then gets time off before the WC as the league ends at a good time. And there are great golf courses on the west coast of the US

He's been semi-retired for a few years already, so this makes sense.

I’m guessing there will be a big increase in the number of reported ‘Sasquash’ sightings on West coast golf courses in the coming months.

Any one actually believe that we were in any way interested in him?

If he really wanted to do what’s best for Wales, Bale would have joined Cardiff

I guess that he’s not a fan of Celtic Manor

This has been an interesting summer - I think we have made some shrewd signings. 

I do think there are a couple of missing pieces that needs addressing - I dont think either Watkins or Ings suits the style we have been playing under SG. 

Also, it feels like more needs to change if we are going to change the culture in the club that I think SG is after.

I guess a lot will also depend on how much SG and his team can improve us with a full season, and also how much better players like Bailey and some of the youth players coudl be
