Hmmm… let’s say 15-20m… I can’t imagine anyone offering more than that… and I can’t imagine the club accepting any less considering what we paid for him… Btw, I’d rather keep both around. Just interested to gauge opinion. Again, this is just a hypothetical… Edited July 31, 2023 by Jas10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston_Villan4 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Still plenty of growing pains to be had and it’s only preseason but Philogene has looked like he could be a valuable asset for us this season. Would prefer to keep both but sell Bailey if the right number came in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) I know you shudder at the thought of " Philogene or Traore " , but i feel that is what is more likely... lol Edited July 31, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Neither if we want top 5 or higher we need better than both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 The obvious selection is keep both til the winter window. No need to set our players against each other. Their will be more than enough fullbacks for them to abuse in the first half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, I’ve accepted that Berty doesn’t really have a future here… last year of contract too… don’t see the urgency to get rid ahead of that though, a useful backup/reserve for all the matches we will play including weaker opposition in ECL… I just wanted to see what general opinion is as Bailey keeps getting slated and Philogene is getting praised… but do some people still see Leon as the player with more ability and more to offer?

Lol mate if I get offended because of people's opinion on a player I'm a b*tch. Defensive and partially biased, of course, but personally offended? Nah. That wouldn't be right as a Football and Villa fan mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 From those options, I'd keep Bailey and loan JPB. But I think we'll be keeping both tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Diaby gives an upgrade on Bailey. Philogene gives us a chance to blood an academy graduate because we have an upgrade on Bailey. He is good enough. Will be rubbish in some games but a chance to run at the fullback in the last 20 mins at VP facing the Holte will be well worth it. He will have everyone on their feet. Extremely exciting once he is fully unleashed. Anyone who doesnt think so please watch his highlights on youtube. He is alot of fun. Oh yeah. Keep Fillet Jean and sell or loan Bailey Edited July 31, 2023 by MWARLEY2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Worth considering, that we could possibly get a decent fee for Bailey and that would help out in other ways such as ffp and freeing up finances/wages to spend on other options… He’s one of the few players that is probably not deemed essential that we could potentially get a reasonable fee in for. We’re not going to get much for Berty… as it stands, he’s just running his contract down (let’s see, if he’s given the chance, if he can somehow earn an extension and come into some major form… it’s difficult to see though) and will be released at the end of it… If, and let me emphasise if, we need to bring in a decent fee for one or two players that aren’t going key for us… then we are really short on options… The players we’ve already let go… we’ve hardly made anything or recouped anything on… the same would apply for a few others in a similar situation, not valued.

MotoMkali Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Keep both. Even if we sign another winger that's still only leaves us with 4 fast wingers + Buendia, Ramsey, Coutinho and McGinn for 3 positions in a season where if we reach group stages we will have 48 games minimum. And Jacob and McGinn will also likely play in 2 tohwr positions as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
