sir_gary_cahill Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 3 minutes ago, The Fun Factory said: I think its reasonable to expect Bailey to play better this season given he has looked fitter pre season. Last year he didn't show us his abilities, I think he will this year. Gerrard obviously rates him and that is one of the reasons we are probably not after another forward/winger. If the opportunity arises to sign a forward/ winger, we should take it but I believe in Ollie Watkins, Danny Ings and Cameron Archer. I think they will have enough goals in them for us not to sign another forward/ winger. Not forgetting Keinan Davis who is still on the books, don’t forget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Brighton have played a blinder with the White and now Cucurella (insane) sales… Football really is mental nowadays. I’ll be glad if our club displays a more sensible and measured approach when it comes to transfers… Funny how Pep missed out on another expensive defensive signing, he’s the master of it chequebook manager.

Teale's 'tache Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 37 minutes ago, MaVilla said: new PL 2 rules state 5 over age players allowed (over the age of 21). So yes, as i think El Ghazi is the only over 21 player in the lineup? Traore/Guilbert/Davis not in the u21 squad tonight. What's particularly interesting is that Gerrard specifically mentioned Davis getting minutes with the u21's in his press conference this morning. Has he picked up an injury in that time(possible) or has something else happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicRic Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 2 hours ago, DaveAV1 said: Leon Bailey is a bit of a conundrum, he could turn out to be the classic, like a new signing, or he could again be a misfire. A lot depends on his fitness. This level of uncertainty, I would say, makes him available if the right offer comes in and if we have a suitable replacement lined up. The fact that he’s not been here long and isn’t a Gerrard signing, probably increases the chance of his departure. I doubt that, at the moment, he’s particularly integral to any future plans. I doubt that if a player like buendia had a pre season like bailey you wouldn’t have such a non-chalant approach to him leaving us and undertones of no matter what he does you dont really want him here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting 120 million in 12 months for 2 academy graduates is decent to be fair. Maybe even blinding. You know leicester who are held up as the ultimate buy low sell high club. They made the same profit on Kante Mahrez Drinkwater sales as we did on Grealish and Chuk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I gave that impression then it wasn’t intentional. Like I say it’s really hard to tell what we’ve got with Leon because of his injuries. Hopefully we’ve got the player we saw against Everton last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
