He can't be injured surely?
That's too clichéd to be true

I wonder if he is actually that injury prone or if he just sulking half the time when he gets dropped?
He can do one.
He can do one.
Honestly, 15 to 20Mil would be a decent return.
Or else faking injury and gone into a sulk.
Top class player once every ten games, when you do the maths based on him being injured over half the time it means that we may get 2 top class performances from him per season if we start him every time he is available. Seems like a bad deal for me.
I like him and I don't really care about the comments but it would be better for everyone involved if he got a move somewhere else.

I'd much rather him saying he wants to move elsewhere than saying he'd fight for a place in the starting XI meaning he's happy to take an easy route by earning good money and remains in the treatment room i.e. Phil Jones.
A lot of people believe the theory that "injury prone" players are often just dead set against playing unless they are absolutely 100%
I think that is true personally.
I'll miss him, one of my favorite players.
Bailly and Jones are those who get injured while playing FIFA 21.
Yes, he has all the attributes to be fantastic but you can guarantee his brains will turn to shit for a few minutes here or there and we can’t have that. He’s a headless chicken at times and what United fan can relax watching him at the back?
Seriously Eric, you’re ‘avin a fecking laugh mate, get yourself off to the eternal city, should go well with your eternal injury list.
It was baffling when we got the contract, but maybe it will turn out well if we can sell him for a decent fee now. Extremely inconsistent player, and very injury prone. Those are the two things you would not want in a CB.
I can see a few clubs being interested in him. He has his days where he plays very well, so hopefully that'll bump up the prices.

Injured a lot and has the cheek to demand immediate starts...gets games....gets injured. Cycle continues.
I like Bailly and thought he was full of raw potential and generally plays well (after some ridiculously shakey decisions) but hes unreliable. Such a shame.
There's certainly some truth to that. I vaguely remembering SAF mentioning that Saha and Hargreaves's injury troubles were just as much mental as they were physical.
Yeah if selling him meant we had that little bit extra required to get Varane then all for it
That’s one of them “it can’t be true, but is”.
Edit Don’t know how I forget that as me and Phil Jones where born on the same day in the same year and I’m only 29
He has done a right Pogba here and just hope it doesn't have the same effect as that did on the eve of Leipzig
I don’t get them comments from him at all. He starts 2-3 games and plays well then he isn’t on the bench he is on the injury table
Are those quotes legit?
Wasn't happy with use giving him a new deal in the first place and then he goes and has a moan. He's completely unreliable.
Think they're old comments
yes, the Times article is behind a paywall, but it's there. Couldn't believe it either.
I’m hoping he leaves and is replaced by a serious option over the summer. He has had his chance and isn’t reliable enough for a top team.
But I've seen the very same said prior to him signing the contract ext and that was what /5 weeks back?
I flicked through the training video and it looks like routine stretching with the physio. He and Bailly are smiling and joking.
even the headline of the Times article quotes him saying "I signed a new contract but if I’m not starting, I will look for another solution". So those are clearly fresh quotes post-contract extension.
Completely agree, my sentiments too. I did see someone comment that his injury record has been pretty bad before he came to us too. Obviously has weaknesses in his game even when fit, but I still think he is currently our best partner for Maguire when he can stay fit if he gets a run of games.
We needed to sign a centre back regardless of him staying or going. But the new contract was a joke unless it was purely to get a decent fee for him. I dont think we can make comparisons to SHaw either, he had a major injury and a manager that didnt like him. Bailly has been a different case entirely
Would be great to get a starter (Varane/Torres) but also a rotational one IF we didn't have more pressing issues in other areas
How fresh they are is moot, they are bloody tactless seeing that Ole has stood by him. No club of Utd's stature would look twice at him right now.
I cannot believe this has happened for the second time this season
Fecking hell, a come and get me plea to Mourinho on the eve of the EL final. Could send him back to Villarreal as part of the Torres transfer.
Torres would be my first choice in that position IF we weren't heavily linked to Varane who has been my dream CB since 2011
Thanks, lads.
Well, that's...interesting.
Jose hardly played him once he bought Lindelof and I think Smalling was his number one defender in his time with us.
Axel is a better player anyway and I hope he shows it in the final.
I mean, it's perfectly understandable - as such - for a 27 year old player to reason as he (seemingly) does: I don't want to be a bench option at this stage of my career.
Sure, yeah - again, perfectly understandable. As such.
What most will think, however, reading those comments - is: "Feck-up prone crock who hasn't developed at all since signing five years ago demands to start - or else..."
And most won't be too worried about the "or else" part. In fact, most would rejoice if we could get a half-decent price for him.
And if he actually ended up with Maureen...I mean, it would be great, no? Mike and Eric running through walls (not very sturdy walls, but still walls) for Maureen - I personally would wish them the best of luck (with that).

How much could we get for Bailly? 20m?
Could be a blessing in disguise, especially for Tuanzebe who would take his spot. He's a solid defender but injuries have not been on his side. So if we get a CB this summer we could generate more money for other transfers. Respect to him for making his feelings absolutely clear in his interview with the Times.
He's a good defender but we can cope with his loss,
