avfc1982am Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 The problem with Bailey is he hasn't had any time to really settle. Brought in by one manager and a system reliant on width and now under a different manager who plays without wide players up top, and injured for a good portion of the season. It's okay blaming and slating players players when their shit, but when they've hardly played.... Some people need to stop talking shit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 So if we are to sell Bailey, he cost us 25m + add ons. So no add ons have been hit you'd imagine and he is under contract to 2025. So if we sell him for 19m+ it'll be booked as a profit in accounts. A loan with a sizable fee might be an option too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zatman Posted April 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2022 Grealish has the same amount of goals and assists and has played over 900 minutes more. Bailey hasnt shined yet but he is far from a big problem in the team 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel there is zero chance he will be a Villa player next season and thank god for that. Amongst other world class overreactions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody1000 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 You wonder what his season would be like if he dinks the ball over Begović or slots it past him for the 3rd against Everton instead of smashing it and injuring himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Unless he starts four or five games in a row, as a winger, I'll find it difficult to judge him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted April 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2022 Easy for me to see he's of no use to us. He'll do better in a slower softer league, but not here. He has some skills, but that's about it. 30 mill down the drain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think that the issue for Bailey. Maybe just adjusting to the Premier league is the thing, which seems pretty common these days in players.

Maradona Leave your hatred of SG out of it. Apart from the everton goal he's done nothing. He hasn't even beaten a man with pace or trickery. I'm not expecting maradona. I'm expecting to see something that justifys his price tag. Something that shows a glimpse of what's to come. He has showed nothing so far and it's pretty hard to argue otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard not playing wide players is a huge issue to stop our creative players 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) I put this is the tactics and shape thread, but thought it was actually quite interesting, re: Leon. Based on this, his weakest ratings have actually come from the position he's been played on most (Forward/Winger ) and his strongest ratings have come from playing in the positions of CAM, CAM Right sided , and bizarelly, one appearance as a DCM. So, it actually seems, we could make better use of him, by starting him a little bit deeper in the forward line? I'm assuming this gives him more time and space to burst forward into pockets etc Edited April 19, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I think Gerrard has given up trying to give players a chance at this stage. He knows he needs results and so it'll be same front three for remainder of season Watkins Ings Coutinho. No place for Bailey other than the bench.

I haven't seen anything to write him on, never mind write him off. I think its another case of iffy scouting. Where is this notion, that he is quick? I understand that some players take time to settle, but some of the claims about this lad from his previous club are just unfounded.

He's quite obviously quick. He just hasn't had the space to show it lately, in this narrow formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What claims were unfounded? And you really don’t think he’s quick? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
