Leon Bailey (out on loan to AS Roma)

[Clark W Griswold]

I've literally never seen Sancho play well. Admittedly i've rarely watched him, but even so.

[CT Villan]

Well, we could do with him coming good as he's the only attacking player we've got with real pace. I love watching both Coutinho and Buendia but think they're both too similarly one paced to play the majority of a season together. There's also no point having two players putting slide rules passes through when your main striker has the first touch of a wrecking ball.

This, with knobs on.

I think there is a high probability that Bailey comes good with the Summer to recover and then a full pre-season.

Aren’t we allowed to say ‘touch of a rapist’ anymore?
It’s just political correctness and wokism gone mad.

Oh dear.

Whoosh

My son supports Dortmund, and I've seen him play well loads of times. I wish he hadn't joined ManUre and stayed in Dortmund, but that's their business model I guess.

As for Bailey, Gerrard seems to like what he's seen of him in training, he made some comments about him being a special talent or some such. If we can get that Bailey playing for us, I do like the idea of a 4-2-3-1, with Kamara + Bissouma or equivalent sitting, then Coutinho - Buendia - Bailey behind a striker.

Surprised we're still allowed to use 'wrecking ball' given the criticism Miley's music video got.

Whoosh

Fair enough, was worried for a second. 🙂

I can’t see where he fits in.  Gerrard sets out a narrow attack and with the intention of dinghe and cash bombing forward   We don’t play with wingers as such

[Ian.]

I hope he comes good, nothing better than a really fast player scaring the shit out of the opposition, especially when they also have talent on the ball which he looks like he had before his injury.

[Drummond]

He showed some great skills and pace early on. A good pre season and he'll be fine.

This thing with Gerrard and Rangers. He played with one at Rangers I think (Ryan Kent), but at Villa he's only got Bailey and Traore, and the pair of them have been as much use as tits on a nun this season. Even then, he was starting Bailey before he got injured again.

I agree. When we signed him very few if any were against it. He was seen as a really exciting player that scored some incredible goals. And he showed that when he came on versus Everton. Very Aston Villa for him to get hurt scoring a great goal.

What was his injury record for his last club like?

You have to say ‘touch of a Duke’ these days.
