Bailey of a few years ago. Glad to see he’s got his act together as this squad doesn’t accept shirkers.

It's probably done him no harm going out and remembering how things are at other clubs with other coaches and players and then returning to the home Emery has created.

Very on board for the first half of the season to be Buendia's redemption arc and the second half to be Bailey's.
Thinking which other players who flattered to deceive that we could bring back - Stan the Man, anyone?

I was a bit sad to see the unenthused and event mocking responses to Leon's return this season. It's worth us all watching the 'every goal from 23-24' video once in a while to remember just how incredible he was that season. Last season's collapse in form was one of the most stark I can remember and he must be a complex, fragile character. But looking lean, trusting his body and coming into a performing side, maybe he can get near his best form again. It would be wonderful for him and for us.

His Villa team-mates seem very happy to have him back, judging by their Insta posts.

Very good cameo in the second half. Hoping that continues to the end of the season, he could (will) be vital. If so, I think that'll be the end of Guessand at VP

The energy in his performance would suggest he's pleased to be back. I'm pleased, you're pleased. We're all pleased.

I hope he chooses the same drink in the last chance saloon as Little Emi.

He'll probably only drink Baileys
