useless Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I think if we want to get the best out of Philogene's creativity he's better suited to playing on the left hand side, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's where he ended up playing for us, maybe as Ramsey's understudy. I don't think he's anyone's replacement really, as it stands Diaby as replaced Bailey as first choice, and Bailey has replaced Traore as second choice, Philogene has come into the squad and gives us an option we didn't previously have, it probably should be more a question of Philogene or new winger rather than Philogene or Bailey, or you could equally ask Bailey or new winger, but I don't think Philogene and Bailey are pitted against each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa 59 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Keep both. We're going to need depth in the squad for a European run. Same goes for Chambers and Dendonker imo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) Abstaining from the vote... Keep both, Philogene is looking good at the moment but we may need Bailey. Of course normally they favour different parts of the pitch. Philogene seems left-side and Bailey has played mostly on the right for Villa. If Villa sign someone like Torres or Doku then this question might have different answers; it seems like we are pushing for one of them.

Yes indeed, in that case Bailey could go... I'd like to keep Philogene and Emery seems to like him too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Neither.....Philogene is far, far too young, to be talking about selling him. He has shown, signs of being a real find.....he just needs game time, and confidence building, by playing. Young players, tend to be cautious and afraid of letting their mates and manager down.....Once he gets a bit of swagger, he will be a real threat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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… You should have given us that choice. That would have been mine and also what I think will actually happen.

cheltenham_villa Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Keep both preferred but I certainly wouldn't swap out Baileys goals and assists for a guy who's had a couple of good pre season appearances. Lets not get carried away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Dunno if people are taking this too seriously or misunderstanding the question, thought I’d covered it in that first comment: in the hypothetical situation, that we would have to let one of these players go, so IF we had to, which of those 3 options would you choose? And we don’t have to sell Jaden, could send him on loan again… Could also phrase it as, if you had a gun to your head and had to make one of these choices, which one would it be? Hope that’s clearer, if we like we can assume that both would be sticking around otherwise… But what choice would you make in this “imaginary” scenario? Theres no need to put a “both” option there, imo… and Traore is irrelevant in this case… Feel free to abstain… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets not get carried away. Yeah, I’m kind of leaning this way… it’s easy to overreact and overhype our youngsters. I expect a much better Leon Bailey (and Buendia) this season… it wouldn’t be the end of the world if Jaden went on loan again and continued his development with plenty of games… However, Unai has shown huge faith in Philogene and he can play a part… He probably could take Berty’s space if he can show that he can be fairly consistent in his performances and continue to show potential… he’s being given that opportunity… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression we will make such a signing too, maybe toward the end of the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great thread idea ... I picked Keep Bailey, Loan Philogene, but it's a deliciously horrible set of choices. My real vote would be keep both, of course! I think JPB and the club might not be hurt badly with a tasty loan deal, but Bailey is going to have to prove himself soon. He's a great player, but the standards are rising around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
