To be fair, he’s sounded pretty happy in interviews of late. And he’s actually playing well when he does play. Last season id have said he’d go and we wouldn’t put much fight up, but not so sure now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bailey definitely would - Craig Butler seems to be more ambitious, though, so it's hard to say what will happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, his bargaining position may have strengthened a little. If he continues in this vein it will be more significant come end of season.

He comes across as articulate and savvy in interviews. Have heard and read people say he is approachable and seems to be a good guy in person too. That Craig Butler (is it his agent? Dad? Stepdad? - something like that) seems to be a bit of a loose cannon/knob though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Not done enough to warrant a new improved deal until recently and that is still arguable, he's entering the stags now where we either sell him or he has us over a barrel regards to pushing for a big wage rise vs leaving on a free transfer. It's an tough one. I'd give him a deal that matches his current one for another two years take it or find him a new club in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely - look he has done much better this season - but frankly he has been very poor overall since he joined us. From what I can see - he seems a guy with a lot of common sense - so I wouldn’t expect him to be looking to hold the club to ransom, but if so - frankly he can do one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling Monchi and Emery will want someone better and/or more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is very little chance he gets a higher salary now than he got then. From anybody. New TV rights kick in in 18 months. Every time that has happened, every club earns millions more - and that basically all goes on higher wages. So I’d assume the average player who signs a contract 18 months from now will get a higher wage than they are on now, even if their stock has fallen at the current time. To put another way - even if he moved on to a Fulham or Forest or whoever, in 18 months they’d be able to pay him more than we can now (assuming they are in the PL) - and we will hopefully be in a higher bracket again… (None of that a comment on his performance or what I think will happen with him, just his salary prospects will only improve) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 He's been quality all season. Probably one of the best impact subs in the league. I hesitate to say best because of Man City, but them aside he's probably the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Helped to make a difference today. He should get a start on Thursday but he needs to take the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Very good dependable performance today. Did his job and helped us wrest control of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Very impressed by him today, a good sign that he performed so well against top quality opposition. Contributed to us turning the game. He plays with more calmness and is more measured than before, some really good passing and footwork and looked like threat. Him and Tielemans coming on in the second half was a very good move by Emery (though I didn't understand why he played Cash from the start), with Tielemans we regained more control in the middle with his passing and possessions play and with Baily we became a threat up on the right hand side, we looked more balanced and created more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Total enigma. A puzzle that Unai Emery seems to have figured out. Some mysterious falling over, very nearly another goal, lots of good play, and another good performance off the bench. Normally I'd say he's into the team, but no! Please! Keep him on the bench. He's a different man coming on as a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
