I don’t think people understand how it’s supposed to be used. When players play poorly and we lose, posters pick up on it and comment on it. When players play poorly and we win, posters pick up on it and comment on it. Bailey has been mostly dreadful this season. He’s not a scapegoat, he’s just not good enough at this level and people are commenting on it. I’m not sure Buendia has ever been a ‘scapegoat’. I think most of the posts on here have been very supportive even after poor performances. Lately though, I think he’s been very good and much improved. Not a dig at you btw! Agree with most of that. Except for bit about Bailey not being good enough at this level. He clearly has talent but not the self belief/confidence. We've seen how different players can look once they find their mojo. Whether Bailey will ever find that in PL and whether he has a place in this team next season is another question. I just hesitate to right players off given events of last few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be frustrating at times and can miss the easiest of chances, he wanted a premier league move in season prior and I recall Emery saying something along the lines that his work rate needed to improve if he were to be a premier league player and I’d say that he has improved in that department but he’s far from the finished article and wouldn’t cost a fortune.

I always thought that getting Carlos made so much sense at his age, as it bought us 3-4 years to get these guys up to speed, with 1 or 2 seasons of loans.

Ceemo Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Italian media linking us with having a big interest in Denzel Dumfries of Inter Milan this morning. Has been inconsistent at Inter, but undoubtedly has talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Don’t watch Spanish football so no idea how good Chukwueze is. Brennan Johnson would be a decent fit for us I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan Johnson would be a decent fit for us I reckon. Really? He's been average at best whenever I've seen him play. It looks like the 3 clubs to go down will be Southampton, Leicester and probably Forest. I'd take the following from them... Lavia Maddison Iheanacho (as back up) Kamaldeen Sulemana (for his potential, but only at the right price) But that's probably about it. Not sure I'd take anyone from Everton or Leeds if they were to drop. Onana and maybe Tyler Adams? We need to be targeting Europe now and the players we target must be exceptional.

They're already regretting selling Jesus to Arsenal and putting themselves into a title battle. Don't think they'd sell Alvarez for less than £100m to a PL club.

Also, Lavia and Maddison are both very good footballers. Lavia has a huge amount of potential and Maddison would start in our bext XI. Strange comment.
