The College Dropout Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 1 hour ago, Pata said: Wasn't he just constantly injured and way too early to write off? Looking at Bailey's and Diaby's stats in the same team in 20/21, Bailey had 9+9 and Diaby 4+12 in Bundesliga. Bailey (0.54) also ahead in non-penalty xG+xA per 90 minutes against Diaby (0.46). Just seems weird when you think Diaby could get us up the league while slagging off signings like Bailey. I've never seen Diaby play. I'm simply stating if the scouts think he is the best player in that position that we could get - then we should go for him. Not a personal slight on Bailey. There are loads of flops in his bracket of player every season. especially to PL clubs outside of Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) Still doesn't make sense. They are basically the same player based on everything (stats, age, team, position) but because Bailey was a bit cheaper (contract, wanted to leave, impact of covid?) he's somehow a lesser player and more likely to flop?

Next to Pepe n all so not like they were too arsed about blooding youth. Wonder if getting insurance for him is problematic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 But, I thought Eriksen didn’t want to leave London / owed Brentford for signing him in Jan / just wanted to play and enjoy his football etc etc…? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Have to say, I don’t begrudge de Jong in the slightest. This is a problem entirely of Barca’s making and he’s right to tell them off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next to Pepe n all so not like they were too arsed about blooding youth. Wonder if getting insurance for him is problematic? I would think it is a combination of the discrepancies in his documents and not providing the wage and length of deal he would want. OM have definitely increased his wage and for three years. The age issue is nothing new. It is the same 1988 date that has followed his career from Anderlecht to Newcastle to now. So, Porto signed him initially with this knowledge. My wife was also born sometime between 1988 and 1994 in Kinshasha, so I will ask her for direct evidence, but it's impossible to know otherwise, that country is dysfunctional even compared to it continental counterparts.

Yorkie Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 ~£30m for a lad who hardly pulled up any trees last season seems very, very steep. Prices for young attackers is just crazy these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 (edited) They don’t really have another true #9 in the team. Wonder who they’ll replace him with. Or roll with Muller as a false 9. Edited July 15, 2022 by Tomato Deuce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or roll with Muller as a false 9. Was listening to something a while back saying that Herr Nagelsmann didn’t like him as he didn’t run around enough so wouldn’t shock me if they go for the play all the wingers and attacking midfielders all over the place rotating rather than buying anyone with nominally Mane leading the press as a 9. Seems daft to me but that’s the main reason he’s off. Suspect it won’t work for the better for Bayern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
