One of the few genuine goal threats in our squad. Unfortunately the threat is to our own goal.
Eric Bailly | signs for Besiktas

I can’t believe there are people in here who think he’s a good player still 
Better Bailly whose outstanding performances are still in recent memory than a 35 year old grandpa defender from a forgotten past, who can't handle the rigour of the game anymore. The commentator on the Arsenal game rinsed him with delight, talking about how on the day he left he knew it was for good and cannot believe he's donning the united Jersey again. The club's done and dusted hiring the likes of Evans and Maguire. The Qatari's can't come soon enough.
When Evans turns to dust, Bailly will be needed. I dont care for this timeline
Bailly and Evans partnership vs Brighton in a couple of weeks
anything beats old Slab head starting I suppose

Excellent news if true
Bailly is unpredictable, which is a good thing for a winger, and a terrible thing for a centre back.
No worries about losing him to AFCON then.
On loan or permnament?
That's a weird photo.
I looked on Centredevils and saw they paid tribute to his performance against Aston Villa in 2021. He was very good during that spell. There was the game against Burnley and Fulham away as well. When fit he was capable of playing the high line.
Looks like Akon. Konvict.
Finally he's gone, who's next.
Sancho or Antony depending on who you ask.
More realistically, van der Beek ?
Antony to HMP FC
Would have been a better option to bring on than Evans and Maguire yesterday
Bailly never moved out that rough diamond phase when we bought him seven years ago. He could have been moulded into some thing good but for whatever reason it didn’t happen. Injuries played a part for sure though.
I’ll miss those overhead kick clearances in our own box

Eric Bailly | No, he doesn’t! 
When did he turn into Idris Elba? He looks really old….
One year contract
Good luck to Bailly.Thank you for that cryuff turn against Liverpool
Pleased about this, I quite like him.
There, I said it!
There, I said it!
Take Donny with ya!
Good luck Bailly. Better than 2023 Maguire and 2023 Evans imo.
Good riddance!
How the hell he lasted 7 years with us...
All thanks to Besiktas for taking in some of our trash.
He will last 3 games before he's on the operating table.

One of those contracts to preserve value that Woodward gave. I'm just happy it's over.
Wouldn't bank on it. Most of our deadwoods go somewhere else and found their mojo back.
Hmm must be because they had the freedom of half arsing it while on fat wages.
Either that or he'll get a red card + extra matches for fracturing someone's skull trying to bicycle kick a throw in at midfield.
He was always terrible. Thankfully he is gone.
