I think you'll find my optimism raises when there is good news or links coming out and lowers when there is not so good news or links. Quite normal really and doesn't make me any less of a fan. I'm sure you'll be gutted with the link though seeing as you think we only need two squad players at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at his reply tweet and it was posted an hour ago but the original tweet was 5 days ago as you said, which I just saw after your response. So they put the original tweet out, somebody asked a question same day but they didnt reply until today and I didnt look at the dates of the original tweet only the final tweet. Sorry mate!

Monkeypuzzle Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 This is a real FIFA signing for me. A player I always go for, but usually only after I have won the premier League or champions league and for more than twice the figure being quoted! Amazing if this happens, he is also quite two footed, similar to Grealish, so no problems if he wants to cut in from either wing, or putting in crosses. I'm particularly excited by his pace and finishing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 9 minutes ago, El-Reacho said: Wouldn't be great news if he has inside knowledge - given the context of his tweet is with respect to Jack going to City. It could be that he is closer to the Bailey transfer then the Grealish one and is just guessing based on media reports. I think Grealish will stay and the latest wave of media news seems to swing that way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Who scored seems to show that Bayer mostly played 4-3-3 last year, with Wirtz as an 8 even though he's been pushed into a 10 role at times, not too dissimilar to how we know Dean likes to play his midfield. As such Bailey has mostly played on the right, which is where most of his goals and assists have come from but has his weaknesses down as Defensive contribution. He did score 2 from 2 games as a CAM so has good output if limited time at that position. Be an interesting one, he suits a RW more and a hell of an upgrade on Traore but still has the limitation of his defensive capability, Buendia suits the RW too & has a great defensive capability, so would be a surprise to see Buendia CAM considering his outstanding asset is his workrate and back tracking. Similarly, LBs output on the left wasn't as good as on the right, I assume because he cuts in from right onto his left to score. We know from Jack that Dean would like to play people where they are most effective ('LW is where you get your goals and assists Jack!') so an interesting one to see how we would line up. Whilst They can all play anywhere across the 3 , we'll go in with an idea of how they will play first and foremost and where they'll be positioned. Exciting link and gives us options be interesting to see how we line up with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsurprisingly many are saying Bailey to sign means Grealish off lol Saw this gem of a comment in the mix "Villa fans don't rate their Manager at all, he could be gone by Xmas if they don't start well.No chance in hell that Villa finish top 6, absolutely no chance" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
