But the club had to make it look like we wanted him and had plans for him etc. He was injured wasn’t he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Emery said anything about why he's fit enough for the bench but not getting any minutes? No he hasn’t. I reckon he’s on the bench because there is nobody else available. It’s just to fill it.

MakemineVanilla Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I had forgotten he was still on the books. He gave us some good moments but I am not sure if he could play a part these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently.....11th....so I'm sure if he's fit and confident, he could play some part. Edited March 2, 2023 by Tom13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Seem recall checking Fbref when we signed Bailey and comparing defensive stats with Traore and Bailey was even worse so attacking wise can't see how Traore could be worse playing instead of Bailey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 i would like to see Traore given a run out in the Bailey position. I know Troare is erratic, but with how poor Bailey has been, its worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterDad Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Time to unleash the magic man - Bailey has had more than his fair share of opportunities and is yet to prove he is premier league standard. Over to you Bertie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Emery moves one of McGinn or Ramsey to the middle to replace Kamara it may mean Buendia and Bailey both start, so he is handy to have on the bench. Better than an empty seat, plus Emery will no doubt be working hard with him in training to get up to speed even if he isn't ready yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see McGinn or Ramsey being moved into the central deeper roles tbh. I don't think he's played either there so far has he? McGinn maybe a little? I'd expect Dendoncker or Chambers (shudder at both) to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cover on the bench really. Will get the odd sub cameo in next two months but he's not really a serious option to start unless we have injury crisis e.g. Ollie gets injured for six weeks. Still getting over him not having his dreds anymore, will probably get on the pitch and start doing Konsa style safety first 5 yard passes back to the CMs instead of the delicious no look volleys across the 18 yard box he perfected in 20/21.
