Leon Bailey | Redcafe says no

Considering he only seems to do well when he plays against us, then at least it gives us more of a chance of picking up points against Villa.

I was very impressed with him…when he was at Leverkusen. I don’t think he’s done much of note since coming over to the PL.
 
No thanks, he is a 1 in 10 kind of player.

He's also the type of personality we can do without.
 
No thank you. He’s literally a carbon copy of Rashford. No end product and very inconsistent.
 
Makes sense since hes at best a midtable player and guess where we stand at the moment
 
Out of Tel, Bailey and Nkunku... Only Nkunku makes sense. The other 2 don't fit our needs at all at the moment. Nkunku I was a big no for when it comes to swapping for Garnacho, but to replace Rashford yeah by all means go for it. Rashford wasn't playing anyway so an injury prone player to replace isn't a huge problem, only upside from our current situation.

Bailey is a laughably bad fit both quality and position he plays. Tel is a bad fit as he's an inconsistent kid who is a wide forward who has struggled to make a real impact in a weaker league even when he has played, and we don't play with wide forwards while one of our issues is all our attackers are too young.
 
If it's a loan with a reasonable option to buy why not? Maybe he needs a new role in a different environment and he's got the skill, imo. He should be not expensive, not over 20 mil. Of course Cunha looks much better and but would also be way more expensive.
I'd give it a try, i rather do that then just get one guy in.
 
Bailey actually has a lot of qualities that would suit the type of right wing back that Amorim likes to use. Very quick, direct and tricky feet. I’m wondering if the interest in him is a stop gap until we get Quenda in the summer?

I agree. He literally would straight up replace what Antony was offering. Both wings. At least till the summer.
 
I also don't rate him, doesn't move the needle at all. If anything akin to his promise at Leverkusen he has under delivered in the league.

I think as others have correctly mentioned is a problem of consistency.
