Would love this signing (as long as it's not a replacement for Jack) as we lack pace and directness and Bailey would add this in abundance. Jack would have to play CAM if Bailey is LW, therefore Buendia RW. Unless Bailey is better or just as good on the right? Oooh.. decisions decisions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 On a potentially related note to the Bailey rumor his current club Bayer Leverkusen has just signed Brügge CB Odilon Kossounou for a cool €28m meaning they might want to bring in some money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 3 minutes ago, HKP90 said: 100%. If we’ve seen all our business this window (and I don’t think we have by any means), I would be concerned. We’ll have a bunch of hyper talented passengers up front, but won’t be able to win the ball or get it to them. That is my concern. We seen the perfect example against Italy, where their midfield dominated the ball and we just retreated away from them, conceding the initiative in the game.....Midfield is crucial to get right, to challenge for Europe. We had one of europes best strikers in Harry Kane, but failed to feed him with quality ball.....only Jacks quality, was able to get him going.....I think in the club Euro cup, Kante was sublime and Jorginho & Mount was instrumental in their win. We have to get this midfield improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 One interesting tidbit in the Mail article is that "the club are willing to listen to offers for El Ghazi". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may yet do that TRO… Bringing in a winger or attacker does not rule that out…plenty of time and deals to work on and not necessarily in order of priority… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s so much better on the left than the right but if Smith thinks we have someone better coming in to replace him, I trust him fully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh.. decisions decisions A quick look shows that Bailey has played pretty evenly on both flanks at Leverkusen. A bit more on the left as a whole but much more on the right if you look at last season in isolation. Not something I already knew of course, had to transfermarkt it With the pace he would add it be a rather terrifying front 4 with him, Grealish and Buendia all interchanging position and Watkins constantly moving and putting pressure. Would be a fantastic signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never really seen him as a winger, but hey ho. good player on his game, good shot on him, and reads the play quite well, but can't beat a man often enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
