I'm loathe to write him off. Even bias aside. Mentally or physically or both something is wrong with him since coming here. I think he will go in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre Season is big for him, he needs to be doing some strength and conditioning training before pre season! It's a shame next pre-season is shorter than usual due to world cup. I'm not expecting miracles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post paul514 Posted April 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2022 I don't know what is wrong with all these fans, the lad has been injured a lot..... he doesn't choose this it just happens. He showed his quality with that awesome shot tipped onto the woodwork. He will prove you all wrong next year. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niggles yes, he always misses games here and there but not this sort of long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know Bailey must have more than what he's shown so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO far look like an: - Injury prone - Weak - Indecisive - Slow - Flop I keep reiterating that what kills me, is knowing how much talent he actually has smh. Some players just don't work out at certain clubs, and we seem great for that, with multiple players. His luck has also been horrendous since being here. You don't just lose what the guy has, you have obviously watched a lot of him and know he is true class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I was really excited when we signed him, and is not even seen him play. Just seemed the type of signing we should make. Then he scored that goal against Everton and I was even more excited. Alas, that seems to his swansong. He looks broken now, doesn’t trust his body to push himself and therefore lacks battle and fight needed for the premier league. Hopefully a good preseason helps him recover, but I feel we may have seen the last of him. The reaction by the crowd wasn’t good, it’s very rare the Villa crowd goes against someone that much. Think he’ll be sold in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) I think it was @useless who mentioned that we are recruiting for an academy Sports scientist that might have something to do with some of the players who keep getting injured.

Zatman Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Strangely he was our best attacker before he came off, had our best first half chance and another half chance while he was injured. Was a shocking scissors tackle from Williams that injured him but he should not have been allowed to continue. Poor work from management/physio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 When we signed him, some people were concerned with how poor his defensive stats were at Leverkusen. He seemed like the type of player who whilst effective in the attack, was a bit lazy helping out in defense. Interestingly however, his defensive stats for us have been a lot better than what he showed at Leverkusen. Could this have anything to do with his failing up front for us?

Poor work from management/physio Is there a possibility that Leon himself said he wanted to continue after the challenge? That he’s mindful of losing his place in the side due to yet another injury? Your vendetta against Steven Gerrard is clutching on this one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
