Our players are actively drawing men to them whilst on the ball meaning once they release it, other players have more space. It was something Grealish was a master at - probably the best in the league in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is this transfer could cost us in the region of £50 million. How will the Villa faithful take to him after 10 games & he hasn't contributed, if we go based on Bailey's time here, their going to have a melt down. For what it's worth I think will see a good Bailey next season & hopefully a flying Nico Williams if he signs Bailey isn’t a right winger, I’ve seen him on the left with Villa and he’s been great. The issue is our system doesn’t depend on that. Next season I guess we’ll use different formations so he’ll still be helpful. Williams is different, he’s better while play on the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps equally, the insinuation/exaggerations that he is more useless than Tonev and never contributes anything to the team should stop?

Do me a favour, minus the points he has helped us secure this season, from our tally, and get back. We only played 3 games in November. He featured 16 minutes against Brighton and 31 minutes in the cup loss to Manure. He did play 70 against them in the league thou. Not saying he didn't deserved the award but it's a small sample size to give an award from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) Bailey has been average but also is not a right winger. More than one thing can be true. Baileys best highlights from us come from the left. His goal Vs United when he won that Player of the Month award. He ran to the left of the box and slotted the ball past the keeper. His goal Vs Everton where he destroyed them (and injured himself in the process), counter attck down the left. Just because you don't like a player doesn't mean you can just tell anybody else there's no point analysing him. Some posters would've kicked half the squad out and sold them in the first 3rd of the season Edited June 11, 2023 by HalfTimePost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I’ve said before there’s a reason why Emery persevered with him, when Bailey was out injured despite crucial contributions Traore didn’t really get a sniff and Bailey was straight back in the starting line when he recovered.

My point was more Williams stats are very similar to Baileys this season & Bailey divides opinion on hear, so spending around £50 million on someone with similar stats may cause this site to explode if he doesn't begin well (if we sign him) I get they play different wings but still have to be seen to be scoring & providing goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair if we want to be in the top 6 we will have to pay higher wages. I am very wary of paying out high wages and I am not espousing paying what the top 6 currently do as we don’t have their revenue but it will have to rise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JV as I don’t watch the Jamaican national team, does he always play from the right at international level? I’ve said this before but I honestly think his two best performances for us have been on left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
