He's been involved in some of our best moments during his time with us. Cracking player on his day. I like him. But he can be frustratingly inconsistent and problematically injury-prone.I think he can be improved upon, but it'll take a very high quality recruit to replace him.

Always felt Bailey had a mental block that prevented him from consistently hitting his best.
Look at any Villa highlights compilation from the two previous seasons, and Bailey is involved in a massive percentage our goals, one way or another. It might be best for both parties if he moves on this summer, but I've had loads of enjoyable moments watching Leon and will wish him well if he does leave.

I love a winger snd Bailey last season was up there with the best Ive seen down the Villa, good lick to him if and when he goes.
The archetypical "Little girl with a curl", on his day he's almost unplayable but those days do not come around regularly enough. I hope he doesn't go to Utd as I like the guy and think he deserves better.
