Only a few of our players attract predators. That's only true about players you don't want to sell. I still have hope with Bailey. Its been a mixed season for him but there's so many players in the Premier League like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, I am running out of hope....its just same old, every game. I haven't heard of any clubs wanting him....and with click bait rife, thats not encouraging.

Yes some of the wages our club are paying on players that don't even start most games I'm astounded by. Going to be hard to shift them and in turn improve our squad the way we want 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say, you need someone wide to stretch the play, or an outlet ball.....We may as well have a cardboard cut out or a scarecrow. He is simply not effective, and much of the time, so is Traore......They both conjure up a moment of magic, on the odd occasion, that won't cut it in this league. We keep talking about Europe as aspiration, to do that we need players who have a good level of consistency to go with their talent and application.....We need them to be consistent during a game.....and game to game......That's what our competitors have. I Look at Solly March as a winger, that is consistency and application....always being a threat, always involved in their build ups. I hope we get it right this summer.

We need much better options up front, otherwise top 8 will be the best we can hope for again. If we're still staarting Bailey in matches in August, something will have gone very wrong with the summer's recruitment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all need to accept, that some players, ain't going to cut it.....IF we have aspirations, like we do. So often, we skirt around the issues, to keep ourselves on side, with positivity.....all quite noble, but we need to address the weaknesses in this team, with that same positivity, to move forward. UE has to keep players motivated and interested until the season ends, but I think you will see a different UE, when the window opens. He will not accept, some of these limp performances, we have seen in the last 4 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we could be signing a backup goalkeeper as well, but what relevance does that have to right wing? Unless you think we will be signing 2 quality players per position? I think the insinuation I was making is quite obvious. Edited May 8, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Villa should sell him and keep Traore as back-up...to whomever we sign for the right (Torres). Transfermarkt currently has Bailey's Market Value as £25 million, surely there is no way anyone is mad enough to pay that. Villa will take a loss on him for sure. We might get back the £30 million selling Bailey, Hause, Davis, Olsen, Nakamba, Wesley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
