Just commented on this in the Bailey thread, I’m surprised tbh. Wonder what the actual reason is… more on Leon’s side (e.g. wants to be a guaranteed starter, demands are too great for a new deal)? Or on Unai’s (doesn’t particularly rate him or doesn’t see him fitting into the side/system and we want to get a decent fee while we can)? 2 years left on deal… now’s the time to sell if we’re not renewing his contract… Didn’t foresee this… makes me wonder just what level of player we’re looking to bring in. We need a squad/options but maybe Leon wants more guarantees… Interesting… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the trio – signed under Dean Smith – only Buendia has been even a qualified success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be great on the odd occasion, but not tactically aware and maybe doesn’t fit into Emery’s plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted July 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2023 Selling Bailey would mean Emery isn't convinced he can get Bailey to perform at the required level, and that we then would need 2 wide forwards, not one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s looking like Harvey Barnes is about second or third choice on the list of a few clubs. Whoever signs him will have probably missed out on whoever they really wanted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe… there’s a few possible scenarios. I still find it surprising and am not 100% convinced, maybe we’re going to be doing more business than anticipated… So… Bailey out… (along with a few others) Chiesa and Diaby in?

Jas10 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Tielemans deal done Pau Torres officially signing today How many more we reckon? At least 2 more incomings I would say, but more is likely… At least 4 out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitized43 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Not against selling Bailey at all. His injury record has been pretty shocking and with the exception of a few moments he’s not produced at all what we expected he would. My main issue with him is my (possibly incorrect) assessment that he just isn’t bothered. When he’s injured you see him constantly posting on the socials being on holiday, the comments from his father and just his general attitude. Gut feeling is I just don’t think I like him as a bloke and he’s not shown enough as a player to change that feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 If we can get an attacking player in before the US tour then the transfer window will have been fantastic thus far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
