villarule123 Posted January 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 15, 2022 Really hope he comes back soon. Bailey - Coutinho - Buendia looks tasty behind the striker but even as an impact sub he would be an amazing option to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted January 15, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2022 Could he even be the central "striker" when he's back fit? He's got quick feet, can finish and he's absolutely rapid. Might be worth a look. He won't score many headers if Digne and Cash are pinging them over, though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Think Coutinho style impact sub for rest of the season is smart move based on his very dodgy fitness record so far. Get him off the bench winning some games like his Everton cameo and then spend pre season working out how to get him into the first 11. Don't think he ever played false 9 position at Leverkusen but could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bertie will be behind those 3 as a 4th backup option, although tbh, if we can persuade Chuka Jr to sign a contract, would put him 4th. I think El Ghazi and Trez are pretty much surplus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Can't see him featuring much under Gerrard. Buendia and coutinho will play those inside forward roles. Likes of Traore and Bailey are more tricky wingers rather than creative number 10's which Gerrard's system requires. Can see both of them leaving in the summer. Gerrard doesn't really use wingers. It's the fullbacks who provide the width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckonBailey and Traore will stay until they are replaced with better, and we’ve hardly seen Bailey yet. We are building a squad, any team wanting to compete at the top of the table and in Europe needs a very strong squad, we are still building that squad. I reckon Mings, Luiz, Trez, AEG, or Cash get upgraded before Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 We wasted a lot of the grealish money in the summer. Out of the 3 so far only one has been a partial success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Inclined to agree about Bailey. He's someone else's player for someone else's system too which might not help him.... I've had this nagging suspicion Bailey might just be a little lightweight for the PL...the injuries aren't helping. Of course, I do hope I'm wrong but just can't see him getting in ahead of Buendia and Coutinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that too, but I think he will be given a chance and none of us know what we have with him yet, he definitely has talent and you do sometimes need a plan B. I just think there are more obvious upgrades that will improve us already on the agenda whereas Bailey has to get fit first. He might also adapt to what they want very well.

Popular Post messi11 Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 Funny how people are writing him off on here when he's injured. Kicking a man whilst he's down Also funny people saying "he doesn't fit gerrards system" when Gerrard keeps playing Ings and Watkins together We lack pace in our attack. Bailey is the man to sort this out. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played on both sides and up front in Germany so has proven his versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as being a playmaker he led Leverkusen in chances created last season so not sure how he has been type casted as a non playmaker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
