Bailey's right foot is also stronger than Traore's. If you don't see that's fine, but I do, and I'm sure many other do to. To me Bailey has been unfairly scapegoated by many, when he is currently our most productive forward since Emery's arrival. For example in the last nine matches Bailey has arguably been Man of the Match is 3 if those games. Brentford, Man U, and Leeds games. That is 1 in 3 matches he plays a blinder and we win. A lot better then one good performance in 6. I like Bailey even has his name on my Villa shirt, but there’s no reason why you can’t like both, Like I’ve posted twice already half of Traore’s goals in villa shirt have been right footed. And yes Bailey had been unfairly scapegoated . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 His new hair looks way cool. He hasn't been brought back to be as good as a new signing, or with the expectation that he will be guaranteed to be better than what we have. So I don't think we need to build him up to be something he's not. But calling him back was a good thing as he gives us the extra option that we needed And has shown that he can provide goals and assists and guess what? Who knows with Emery's coaching might get even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a huge contradiction saying 'he runs into people' but at the same time saying he has better decision making than Traore. Also, when Traore gets himself into dangerous positions, he generally makes good decisions. He really doesn’t. But hey ho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, when he needs to use it, he’s not bad with it, but if you watch him dribble, it’s like he’s doing everything in his power not to use it?!

villarule123 Posted February 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2023 As with every player since Emery took over, he deserves a totally clean slate. The previous manager was a charlatan and he was one of our better players under the manager before him. If anyone can get Bert to do the dirty side of the game to add to his flair, it's Emery. Let's just hope he can perform well for the remainder of the season, not just for the immediate needs of the club, but maybe we could get a decent fee for him if he's not in the manager's long term plans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly, really can’t be bothered. That’s my opinion and you’re welcome to yours. I believe the reason the club shipped him out to Turkey whilst probably paying a high percentage of his wages is probably because he isn’t good enough. I’m also led to believe he struggled in Turkey too. He’s a funny player to watch but he makes the wrong decisions too often and isn’t fast enough/strong enough to make it as a PL wide player. Or certainly as a wide player for a club aspiring to break the top 8. Ultimately, id bet my bottom dollar that this thread will be moved to other football in July this year and that Will be because Emery too has seen that he isn’t good enough and his decision making is poor. FWIW, I don’t even think he’s lazy and I think that’s an unfair criticism against him. He’s just simply not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Traore does some scary stuff in our own half sometimes, but the flipside to that is he will try anything in the final third and never really panics. Think Emery will see him as a potential match winner. Also his work rate is much better than people think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted February 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2023 I like him. He's just fun to watch. Do agree he does make a lot of poor decisions on the pitch and has games where he's a million miles off it. The truth is, if he was incredibly consistent with his decision making and performances he wouldn't be at this club. Kinda just have to take him for what he is, one minute he can frustrate the hell out of you and the next he does something amazing. Tis what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he has a plan with Traore that will surprise us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares if he doesn't use his right. He still beats his man, circles backs and beats him again then just for funsies does a rabona with his left when the right would have worked just to piss you off. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) I’m all for him coming back and smashing it, but the overwhelming evidence suggests that isn’t going to happen. More fool me if he does. In fact, I’d say El Ghazi would be better in this system than he would. He might be one that could surprise a few under Emery (not that he’s coming back).

More fool me if he does. What's the evidence? Is the evidence the excellent debut season he had with us? No, presumably you're ignoring that and instead focussing on the injury-hit season he had with us, and then the opinion of some shitty charlatan of a manager who made pretty much only the wrong decision every time he had a decision to make, and who also didn't want to play with players who play in Traore's position. 'Overwhelming evidence' my arse! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
