There’s a big difference between “he looks shit (currently)” and “he is shit (and always will be)”.
What are we supposed to do when watching players just lie about their performanceThis writing off players is a load of bollocks no one does it really we just tell the truth when someone’s not playing wellWhen Buendia first came he looked off the pace no touch and he was a bit rubbish for what was at that time our record signing we quite rightly felt a bit deflated, that’s the truth it’s not writing him off it’s just telling the truthEveryone wanted him to up his game and start performing like the player we thought we’d signed which he did and has done he is now one of the best in the squadStill doesn’t change the fact he took a while to settle in and while he did he wasn’t looking very good, that’s it There’s no point in being scared to say it it’s a bloody football forum

I don't play Fantasy Football, but I have a few friends who do, and in their discussions on social media I've been genuinely surprised at how many teams seem to have Bailey included. These aren't Villa fans, just people who tend to watch a lot of football. Maybe the buzz about his pre-season is extending beyond Bodymoor and Villa Park? I'm guessing his goal against Man Utd will have been seen by quite a few...Very excited to see a fit and flying Bailey this season!

Whenever I see his thread bumped a day before a game, I always assume he is injured.
Is he going to start tomorrow ?
