Maguire still being captain and us likely to sign a CB should be the nail in the coffin for his United career.

Maguire still being captain does not guarantee that “my captain shall alwaysh play”.

Varane is shaping up to be an even bigger crock than Bailly. I suspect we’ll hang onto him even if we sign Martinez. If we were getting rid I think it would have happened by now.

We haven't gotten rid of anyone except Pereira.
Even after signing a LB, Telles and Williams are still here.

I agree, the captaincy doesn't mean he will always play, but I can't see a captain being 4th choice either.

Maguire being 4th choice is your opinion though. The manager might think he is 1st choice.

Considering Varane, Bailly, Jones, Tuanzebe are a sick note, for majority of the season only 2 CB are reliable on fitness. Maguire and Lindelof.

 

[sillwuka]

He must be content on being 4th choice CB.

 

[Revaulx]

True. As far as I’m aware though, there’s been actual interest in Bailly from other clubs. I’m not sure about the two you mention.

Even if Maguire is 4th choice he’ll get plenty of games, given how injury prone Varane is!

No, it's not.

For someone that's always so critical of my posts, you don't read them very well do you.

Oh so Maguire being 4th choice is a fact is it? Based on what? your feelings?

Everything since he has since has pointed out to him being first choice.

Apparently, us signing a CB means its the end of Maguire. your quote btw.

This bit you quoted:

" Maguire still being captain and us likely to sign a CB should be the nail in the coffin for his United career. "

Just means Maguire's captaincy indicates he's above Bailly in the pecking order.

I have no clue how you can conclude that means Maguire is 4th choice. You're aware we're in the Bailly thread and the "his" refers to the Ivorian?

You're having English explained to you by an American....

 

[Based Adnan]

Does the guy have any desire to actually play games of football? All of the rumours of his departures have come from the club being willing to sell rather than him wanting to leave.

 

[Banat]

He was feckin amazing today IMO, very composed and calm under pressure. Shame he can't stay fit.

 

[Erics_Collar]

He was a man possessed today. Wasn't even his usual goofy WTF style of "I'll just throw myself in front of this and hope for the best" defending, he read every attempt at a through ball perfectly.

 

[3vra]

Sell Lindelof keep him as a backup, simple as that…

 

[pratyush_utd]

United should keep him. He is quite entertaining to watch

 

[roonster09]

He is so good, hopefully we are not selling him.

 

[dove]

Sell Lindelof keep him as a backup, simple as that…

And then instantly regret it in a few weeks time.

 

[Regulus Arcturus Black]

No surprise at all that he was the best player on the pitch, just as it’ll be no surprise if he’s the worst next week.
The enigma.
Thoroughly entertaining always.

 

[Bwuk]

He's hilarious. He has 3 or 4 games like that then drops a howler. Everytime.

 

[DickDastardly]

Imagine the fecker played like that every game.

I don't know, just pump him full of anti inflamatories and growth hormones so he doesn't get injured and let him loose on the field.

"Go on boy, wreck havoc!"

 

[mu4c_20le]

That run was pure Baillyenbauer.

 

[bosnian_red]

Could've been a 100m defender in another life
No point even getting excited when he has a good game, but was ridiculous today

 

[Skills]

A proactive defender like him makes a difference tbh.

 

[Red Shorts]

If only he stayed fit, what an option to have.

Always has a brainfart in him but reads the game better than most our other CBs

 

[crossy1686]

He'll be injured come the start of the season, hopefully someone buys him before then.

 

[Mickeza]

As I’ve said before he’s the most entertaining CB I’ve ever seen which is one quality you do not want in a CB

 

[Annihilate Now!]

He's not a real human. He's an art piece masquerading in football boots.

He's a lunatic.

 

[Rozay]

He's hilarious. He has 3 or 4 games like that then drops a howler. Everytime.

As do the others, so why is he not allowed to play any more often? At least he could have even been in with a chance of maturing with regular games.

I appreciate his injury record is also poor, but I think he was criminally underused last season.

 

[Random Task]

The guy is something else, capable of producing the sublime and the disastrous at any given moment.

God help the opposition if he ever finds consistency. The world isn't ready for a competent Eric Bailly.

 

[golden_blunder]

Sell Lindelof keep him as a backup, simple as that…

YES

 

[harms]

On his best days when he manages to avoid mistakes he really looks world-class — and so damn entertaining to watch. A shame that those days are so far apart.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

He's the greatest. Love Bailly!

 

[AltiUn]

Bailly is genuinely one of the most hilarious footballers I've ever watched goes from 10/10 to 0/10 to 10/10 all in the span of about 5 minutes.

 

[ReallyUSA]

Maybe this is the year

 

[Andycoleno9]

He is joy to watch when he enters in mad mode

 

[MikeKing]

He's not a real human. He's an art piece masquerading in football boots.

He's a lunatic.

He's the best god damn defender the world has ever seen.

 

[Blood Mage]

Let's get one thing straight, Bailly has always been a very good player. It's the fact he's made of glass and struggles to string three games together that's the issue.

 

[TMDaines]

Arguably the best libero in the world on current form.

 

[VidaRed]

I think we've found our DM.

 

[Red the Bear]

Shame he can't keep fit
