From John Cross...

Pray for @Taylor Gang Gunners !

He's like United best defender, or at least 2nd best (still think Smalling gets a lot of unwarranted stick). Would be weird for them to sell him first of all and second of all to a top 6 rival.

Really like him though, not just in terms of him as a CB but he seems like a good character too.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Go for the double dip and get Martial and Bailly! Find this to be bullshit, though.

 

[Slartibartfast]

Anybody up for swapping Mustafi for Bailly, straight up? The clubs do have a recent history of January swap deals.

 

[krackpot]

Why would they sell him?

He was their supposed messiah before his injury. Now he can't get into the team.

He’s ****ing rubbish. Mourinho doesn’t even rate him anymore.

Don’t want no Yanited cast off. Troy Deeney is a better defender.

Do. Not. Want.

 

[kraphtous]

You know you're a bad defender when even Mourinho can't help you.

 

[Garrincha]

Certainly stalled but has good experience for 24, well rounded physical attributes & big upside.

Maybe he is more suited at a club like us without that United spotlight.

 

[Sanchez11]

Need a bruiser though im hoping big mav gets his chance tbh

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

He's not that s**t he was decent in his first season with them but seem mourinho give up about his players after one bad performance

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

According to English media we are going to give them Özil and Bailly is coming our way

 

[samshere]

Bailly has got that early koscielny look about him. Fantastic physical attributes but prone to brain farts. Jose 'short term' Mourinho is obviously not the manager for him. But it'll be difficult to get him off them, he's a fan favorite.

Rumours we are getting Alderweireld in January. Because in the Summer he has a 25M clause.

I agree on Smalling, I really rate him.

Yeah let's do it.

 

[rich 1990]

Don't want him. Think of the dreadful pun potential in his thread title.

It's not straightforward. The 'L's are silent....Commentators are pronouncing him 'Bayi'.

at least Redcafe can say Bye Bye Bailly

Like him so much. Reasons for are:

1. Top class defender.
2. Young.
3. Very high ceiling considering most defenders' peaks come at over 27 years!
4. Doesn't take s***! He's all about defending first and foremost.
5. The last player we had from Ivory Coast had a phenomenal attitude!
6. Better than all we got atm except maybe Koscienly pre-injury. Reminds me a lot of him too
7. Would form a formidable future defence with one or two of (depending with the formation) Holding, Chambers and Mavro.
8. Mourine is past it and doesn't see what is good/ elite anymore! The Galactico's attitude of wanting new toys time and again and not appreciating what they've got has gotten into him.
9. On a serious note, how many other defenders at his age are better at this job than him?
10. Defense is currently our biggest undoing.
11. Acquisition would mean we would be getting rid of that clown Mustafi

Am sorry Özil lovers but I would take him in a heart beat if it meant a swap deal especially with some additional fee for Martial! Would be fantastic business!

 

[dashsnow17]

Would take him in a heartbeat, but don't believe for a second a deal like this would ever happen. Just sounds like easy paper talk.

Really? I didn't Gervinho's attitude was great at all tbh.
