RichiBoi11 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 1 minute ago, sne said: A lot of the attitude stuff comes from early days around the Jamaican national side with him hesitating to commit to them and the manager being unhappy about it and claiming he had a big head mentality. Read an article from earlier in the year where he explained that the difference this season was that he's changed his recovery approach and started eating better and taking better care of himself to avoid injuries. He also became a father not that long ago which has also made him more grounded. He's working harder in training and has been able to avoid injuries which has all contributed to him having a great season. Sounds like the sort of person who needs a gaffer like Deano helping him improve even further... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jas10 Posted July 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2021 If “missing out” on ESR means we get Bailey instead, I’m more than happy with that. I wonder who our other targets could be… We need players that can make an impact and be better than what we have. For attacking players - reliable source of goals & assists, improve build up play and ball retention. Much like Buendia… But Bailey would give us something different: pace, power, finishing, trickery and he has a great shot on him… Always enjoy a long range goal or free kick and it’s a great weapon for winning “deadlocked” games… 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I'm hoping this signing is further along than we think. Or similar to the Emi Martinez one which was completed 2 weeks before the announcement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect Neil Cutler’s coaching of both Jed and Emi at Villa might be behind it. I slightly prefer Jed’s stare to Emi’s sledging and whilst none of it is a guarantee, if it increases the chances of a shootout success by as little as 5%, it’s worth the slight embarrassment if it fails.

Hank Scorpio Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 This to me seems like a typical agent led story, like Smith Rowe. With probably similar results, eg it doesn't happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha try to be positive as much as possible, but also realistic. This just seems like your typical foreign agent transfer that never happens, we have 2 or 3 of these each summer. Is there a closed thread graveyard for all of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Everton are Poundland bargain bin shopping. Not got the dollar, well I guess they have but they gambled it on European qualification last season and Rafa's wages on top of paying Carlo off isn't cheap.

Dave-R Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Look at the comment in this video and the top comment says that Transfermarkt has become a very reliable source and it says that the Leon Bailey to Villa is like 95% where as they had the ESR likely transfer at 5%. I'm not sure if any of that's true and maybe someone or some of you can shed light on if it's reliable or not. I do hope the signing of him happens, I shouted for him to join alot last seasons window and season before along with Takefuso Kubo, one or the other would make me very happy indeed.
