We all wanted Bailly to be the player he gave us glimpses of, but he can't be relied upon. The continued injury issues and lack of regular game time meant when he did play he was always just short of game rhythm. Fingers crossed we can get a fee for him but even that is unlikely

Get rid of all injury prone players, no use in having them specially if they are back ups. The guts of even making statements like that FFS I hope thats an invented quote but if Bailly really feels like that then feck him, let his contract expire, sell him or whatever. Let him go to another club and see if he can get the wages he currently has.
5 years 100 games
OK player when fit but too little too late. Wouldn't be sad either way, if he signs or not.
How can he play when he's always injured, he gets that right?
The first bolded part there explains the second to be fair.
Injury prone bombscare of a defender.
Good riddance.
Good riddance.
If this is true, then do not extend his contract. Let him leave for free. He has been collecting his wages despite being a sicknote, and is now offended for not being brought on against Milan. The cheek of it.
"Spend his time sitting on the bench".
That would be an upgrade ffs.

Or better still, we won't get one. Another season of Tuanzebe barely getting a sniff of first team football I imagine.
If he leaves you really need two new CBs this summer, unless you anticipate Tuanzebe or Jones being a reliable option. United have already been skimping a bit at this position and really just depending on Maguire being a total ironman and playing 38 league games/5000 minutes per season. He has an incredible fitness record but few players can keep that up.
He likes the Iceman and block head. What makes people think we are going to buy a first team CB.
I like him. But I've wanted us to sell him for ages. He can't stay fit and buying another centre back for depth improves us (we still need a starting centre back).
With a year left on his deal, what could we conceivably expect? 15-20m?

Made from glass. Stuff this crap up it man.
I think Stones is the best now. He's been great both defensively and offensively since coming back from injury.
If (big if) Bailly would stay fit for a long period, I think he'd be an upgrade on Lindelof. But yes with his injury record, he can't be trusted really.
Bailly is a great player when he is match fit. Unfortunately he haven’t been able to contribute a lot, and I’m afraid the situation will not change.
Time for him to move on and give us space to buy a new CB. We need reliable players who are able to contribute day in and day out.

In that case AWB should also be worth 80m. And I don't think Maguire is the best English defender, Stones probably is.
What is it with the ungrateful injury prone players we've had over the years? We've stuck by them and paid their fecking wages and their treatment and this is how they repay us back? Hargreaves, Zlatan, Bailly etc..
I don’t get the ungrateful / repay us comments?
The club signed a contract and as such are obligated to pay his wages and it’s not like he’s faked these injuries.
I love Bailly as a player and character so I feel very sad about the whole situation. If he wasn't so injury prone, he would be top class by now, in my opinion.
Because he's always injured, isn't this obvious?
Earlier in the season, he'd displaced Lindelof for a while before he, guess what, got injured again.
You can't rotate centre backs.
Although he is pretty rubbish and made of paper you guys selling him yet still having Phil Jones on your books does make me laugh.
Love Bailly as a player, I think if he could magically stay fit he'd soon be regarded as our best CB. But of course that's never going to happen. We've seen it with RoJones.
To have the cheek to leak this nonsense after earning a fortune from the physio room (if true) is just embarrassing really.

This is why we should be getting rid of him. It’s no use to us having unavailable players.
You work with United medical l team? Otherwise how have you assessed the severity of his or other's injuries?
You can just sense when a player is the type who will play on through a knock or the type that wants to be wrapped in cotton wool.
I could be totally wrong but I don’t remember any of his injuries being the major and recurring type, just constant knocks, sprains etc.
You think players like Maguire don’t get those when he’s played the most minutes of any player on the planet? That’s what I’m eluding to.
He’s right
Honestly doubt we get more than a token fee, maybe 5m. I don't see him as highly valued by other teams and with just a year left on his deal and his chronic injury history nobody will want to gamble much to sign him.
I get that footballers are myopic and self-obsessed, but if those quotes are genuine then you almost have to admire the fact he has a neck like a jockey’s bollocks.
I wouldn't say it's that bad. That's more Phil Jones. At least Bailly has been available half the time, versus none of the time. And he's just shy of 27 years old. Think it would actually benefit him and his game to move, maybe to a side like Wolves or similar where they don't play in Europe, so fewer matches.
Nor would I be surprised if Inter Milan end up buying him. We seem to have some sort of a nebulous arrangement with them
So friend says that during negotiations.. interpretation; United give me better conditions I’ll stay
What a state of affairs at this club.
Elaborate?
One needs to be able to be first choice with consistency. Lindelöf fits this bill, Bailey does not.
Your post smacks of a very poor WUM.
Might be a bit hyperbolic on my part, but the fact that a constant sick note is denying simple reality & is putting blame on Ole for not choosing him smacks of utter delusion. I just wonder & am somewhat concerned about the overall zeitgeist within the club in recent times.
Go and take your best mate Jones with you.
My mistake, I thought you were criticising the club and/or Ole. As you say, delusional from
Bailly.
No, some criticism does deserve to go the club’s way as well, most recently the trophies comment from Ole.
But this idiocy from Bailly trumps all that. I do like him as a player, but this smacks of agents / hangers on feeding him bullshit & getting him to speak out against the club. If he wants to test the waters, fine.
I hate the public nature of these types of comments, same with Pogba and his brother/agent comments. Not sure if that’s the club or the type of player we have but very frustrating whoever at fault.
