PieFacE Posted July 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 10, 2023 I kinda get the fear after Bailey and signing players from the German league in general, but I fully trust Emery on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condimentalist Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Diaby would be super exciting. He was always the more rated between him and Bailey but there's also probably no harm that they've played together before either. Of course there is an adjustment period for playing at a higher level but he's got decent UCL and UEL experience and it's probably the right time in his career for him to move somewhere. If the links are real it's a big thumbs up from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many of those clips he could have gone for goal himself but chose to square it on a plate for someone else. We could do with more composure like that going forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sooooooo suspicious of agent-seeded rumours meant to inflate transfer fees and lock in better contracts. But we heard that Diaby is even now eye-hearting a Bailey tweet (wooooo!). But a player wouldn't be in on mind-games, right? I ask genuinely. So even though this story seems silly, it has me thinking that maybe ... just maybe ... Diaby is wisely interested in our incredible club. Fingers and toes crossed ... Quote With that said, Diaby was among the responders to Bailey's latest Instagram post. Bailey shared a picture of himself and his Jamaica teammates celebrating after their CONCACAF Gold Cup quarter-final win over Guatemala. He wrote: "Next stop Vegas. Semi-finals, here we come!" Diaby responded with three heart eyes emojis. This prompted a couple of responses from fans, with one saying: "Come join him at Villa Park," while a second added: "Come to Villa!"

This guy is the best goalscorer of his generation. Generational talents will succeed in any league. Players from the bundasleaga, that made their name in Germany are a real mixed bag. Even the great Micheal Ballack, never reached the level he did in Germany. The list of flops is certainly as big as the successes, particularly in recent times. Most end up being somewhere in between, like Matip (had good spells, but also poor spell), konate has been a mixed bag, and Sane, are good.examples of this.

Just because Bailey hasn't smashed it doesn't mean there aren't good wingers in the Bundesliga, or that they wouldn't suit us. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Bailey expectations to reality have seriously given me PTSD of tricky, fast wingers/forwards from Bundesliga. Bailey was an absolute nightmare when he first came. We scored like 8 goals when he was playing to 2 when he was not in his first 200 minutes (and we'd played like 7 games) he just crocked himself with these hamstring injuries and he's terrified to just knock the ball past his man and beat him with pace. He's gone down injured the last 2 times he's done it so it's understandable as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
