It seems fans can’t believe their eyes after seeing Bale’s reply, who are somehow urging to join the Ryan Reynolds’ side.
@BenFoster should be invited along .. It'd make for some fantastic content for his new Golfing GK youtube channel.

It seems fans are also encouraging Bale to lace up his boots back and play for the Welsh side. This can surely work for both parties; after all, it worked out quite well for Ben Foster.

The unretirement of Foster worked out really well for both parties. The cycling goalkeeper helped Reynolds’ side clinch promotion with emphatic affect. His performance may have even gotten him another contract to stay at the Racecourse Ground. Hence, many reckon it can work exactly for Bale.
Never in doubt!
