Save this money for a midfield and CB please! I guess we don't have any direct alternatives to Bailey in the squad, if he's injured or out of form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be balanced but Sarr and Bailey either side would be pretty cool. Sarr bailey Buendia middle would work. But we need another CM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I've always liked him. Ripped Targett a new one first game of last season and generally was the catalyst in Watford's best wins last season. Then got injured around November and with AFCON didn't play much at all. He's an effective player in right formation but...... he's a touchline hugging direct wide player so perfect for 4-3-3/4-2-3-1. No idea how he fits into a Gerrard system unless grand plan is to convert him into CF like we are doing with Bailey. Also feels odd to be prioritising signing another front 3 player over CM and defence. Smacks of yet again Gerrard throwing money at a problem without any idea how to implement it into coherent team. Still as said above he'd be a very exciting player for next manager to work with so got to think long term I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_sun_never_sets Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Bailey can play on the left, right? In fact I think he's played there more times over his career? Bailey Buendia/Coutinho Sarr Has tonnes of pace and creativity. I like it. May be we'd move back to a 433 though and drop Buendia or Coutinho into the middle as Kamara + Mcginn (as unfortunately I expect it would be) would get overrun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
