NorthEastVillan Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The media twist is absolutely real here. Some terrible misquoting going on. Basically Bailey saying if he moved to a conceived "top 6 team" it would help him internationally is 100% right. Always been that way, irrespective of your nationality. Play for City, Arsenal or Utd and you're much more likely to get international minutes etc. No story here at all. Just media click bait crap as per usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 21 Popular Post Share Posted March 21 One good thing is that, if you look down the thread on Townleys post the vast majority of people are calling him out for this BS. And it's true, he's meant to be a Villa fan as well, yet is potentially whipping up a frenzy and distraction at the most crucial time for us .... For clicks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) He’s JUST signed a new contract… zero concern and a non story. Easiest way for him to leave would’ve been NOT to do that… Clearly loving it at the Villa… we are on our way to upsetting the applecart, and raising our profile and exposure. Won’t be long before we’re seen as part of a “big 6”… Unai will see to that at the very least… Edited March 21 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing from him, seems a decent lad tbf maybe it’s more of a mistake or foolish error rather than done with any ill intent… still young and learning in his new job… Unless he was forced/influenced by someone higher up… Kendrick? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Moot point anyway - No-one's gonna be in for him unless his decision making becomes more consistent, it's been horrendous the last two games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Total non story. Just misquotes and twists to words to create a narrative. He just signed a new contract. Is over the moon happy at Villa playing out of his skin for a manager that has got the best out of him. Always respectful and humble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Just clicked on a SKy Sports video. "With Leon Bailey being linked away from Aston Villa we take a look at his best bits of the 23/24 season." Total bankers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job should be to report the news verbatim. Modern day 'Journalists' (and I use this term extremely loosely) have a moral obligation to report accurately, rather than doing what they can to trick morons into panic-clicking on a distorted headline. The number of people you can fool trumps the quality of your reporting these days... which is a tragic shame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish was constantly linked away by Birmingham Mail. Our top stars constantly linked away. I urge all Villans on social media to unfollow or block Birmingham Mail - tell them what we think of their rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 If a 'bigger' team comes in for a player, they'd almost always want to move anyway, that's the reality. Our current trajectory is helping us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 When players sign new deals they do so knowing it would be mean they could one day be priced out of a move to a bigger club. (Unless it’s a sneaky Delph deal). That is something they accept when they renew. Every player has his price. Not many are going to pay what Villa will demand for their players.
