Leon Bailey (out on loan to AS Roma)

[PhilVill]

New contract signed, old Bailey resurfaces. Been many a player pulled that one on their club's. He cannot play on Saturday or the right will get torn to shreds.

[PaulWinch again]

Bit simplistic, I don’t think anyone looking at him would say he’s not trying.

And like I’ve said on other threads, there are too many players out of form for it to be just a problem for that individual.

[Mister E]

For Saturday, we need to go back to the Bayern gameplan and use Philogene as a defensive winger. Bailey gets benched.

[Demitri_C]

There is out of form as just utterly shit. Thats what bailey has been the whole season. Not good enough from him at all.

[Dave]

My gut feeling is that if we do need to sell someone for £50-100m to keep the books ticking over it might actually be Bailey.

His stock is probably never going to be higher than it is right now, he plays in a style and position that rich clubs always are interested in signing, he's the ideal age and it's not impossible that he's just having an Amr Zaki / Roque Santa Cruz season.

I mean, I don't want to be all "called it"...

[Smirker]

He will bounce back but he isn't in good form at all.

[Demitri_C]

Im not sure he will. He looks awful. Worse than any point diaby was last season. He looks bad.

Needs to be dropped

[Risso]

Absolutely shite, again.

[LeonW]

New contract, no competition: old Bailey

[Demitri_C]

Hasn't  earned that new contract at all. Has been pants this year

[Villan82]

Massive disappointment this season

I don't disagree, but I think you need to put a couple of decimal poimts in those values. Even Saudi teams can't be that stupid.

[levico]

It’s the old conundrum. Do you drop him because he’s not playing at a PL standard or persevere until he turns it around?

Might have to concede the former strategy soon.

[Cropley10]

We are playing with 10 men with him at the moment. We have zero attacking options down the right .

Would have to change system for that as Jaden is not remotely ready for this level yet if at all.
