Seen enough to realise he ain't going to make it in the prem. We tried,it didn't work.
Try and sell while we can.

Sorry,it's the prem.You need more than a one shot in a game.No presence either.
No time for sympathy.

LOL, by that logic our entire squad would already be platooned to Turkey.

Let’s worry about our actual problems and not a good winger who is being failed by a narrow system.

If that shot that hit the bar had gone in we been lauding him.
He was one of the better players who posed any attacking threat. He was better than Buendia today no?
No.His spatial awareness is shocking.He gave the ball away more than once,and he's knocked off the ball far,far too easily.
Bundesliga yet again showing its it's an inferior product.

Point your fingers elsewhere.

That roll into the corner was something our dear departed Bert would have appreciated.

Bailey is dangerous when we get him on one on one situations with a defender or he is played in early, he has good first touch, balance, change of pace and looks like he can finish.
Not so good when given the ball in tight situations.
Unfortunately our build up play is slow and ponderous which is not going to get the best out of him.
Bailey is not the problem and could be a very effective player.

Says he trusts his body a lot more this season
Encouraging Interview.

Think Bailey could be massively important for us.

That's fair as he has only shown glimpses at Villa.

Still in the N'Zogbia bracket for me. 1 decent bit of play for every 10 dubious ones.

He's already done more than N'Zogbia did in a fraction of the appearances. Ridiculous comparison.

Yep. N'Zogbia was just lazy.
