This is good. Exactly the type of player we need to be signing in next 12 months regardless of what else happens.

Carew vibes.

Perfect signing, then.

Hopefully enough of a pre-Monday signal that we're being serious about challenging for the top 4.

Our counter attack will be so much more effective next season.

[Footy-Vill]

Bailey loves to be on the ball and wants to be on it but also makes runs off the ball.
He's strong left footed player and can whizz past the defenders .
He's adaptable and can use his right but the left foot is a sweet one. Playing left side he be out and out winger. See Dwight McNeil well better and hes far higher tempo because he's so quick and let's quicken that tempo and you've got Sane. But Bailey he also plays the Bertrand Traroe right wing side major effectively as he comes in side from the right both with the ball and without it.
Better movement than what we have
See Mahrez. He's a quicker tempo but more direct. And has as good a left foot as Mahrez. Certainly better than Traroe.

Liking what Smith has done here. Taken the attack to the next level. He's another not afraid to shoot or dally on the ball and can effectively use his pace to bring great attacking  momentum.
