If we got Bailey (or another winger), thats Grealish, Buendia, Bailey (or other), Traore, El Ghazi & Bidace etc, not overly stocked even with those all here.

Big Salad Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Just a quick look at their forum and translating it, he gets some good praise on their and they really see him as a big part of their squad but if he goes for the fee being touted, they understand it.

I’d argue he’d be below the likes of JPB now in the ranking. If we can get 7-10m for him, it would be a great bit of business. That'd be abysmal business... Should be £17-20M range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club have been dead set against that from the start. I also think A. Young can cover wide left if needs be. El Ghazi’s stock is as high as it ever has been and may ever will be right now and if we sign Bailey, we’ll just have too many options across that front 3 to ever really need to use him. He’s been a good servant and he has an excellent attitude. The penalty against Wolves was worth his transfer fee alone - that took bottle. If we get a decent offer in for him, I think the club will sell. We’re going places and he just isn’t anywhere near the standard we need if we genuinely want to reach them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 This is a player who was ranked 13th out of all players in the Bundesliga on average score last season on both Sofascore and Whoscored. Sites like that and scores like that are arbitrary and not to be taken too seriously but it's still an indication that he had a very good season indeed last year.

He really scoffed and poo-pooed it on a podcast... then the links got louder and louder and as it looked like he was happening he dived in on twitter saying yep, looks like it's happening soon. Splat. Deal dead. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal returns are everything, the lad scores, he's no worse than Traore and we payed £17-20M... You look at players like Solanke going for more, Ibe for more. He's a better player than you give him credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Leverkusen fans but I talk to a few Bundesliga fans and they think him at Villa would be a brilliant move. Very highly rated in their minds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he is that much worse than Traore, but then, I don’t much rate him either! Maybe he is a better player than I give him credit for but either way, I’d be shocked if someone came in for him at 17-20m. Its absolutely no surprise the club are going all out on the wide right position and the no. 10 position this season. Traore and Barkley were well below par in most games last season.
