I like Bailly, but I am getting Phil Jones vibes from this contract. The guy can't stay fit and we can already see that he will have little resale value if this continues.
At least include a pay as you play type of clause.
His injuries aren’t magically going to disappear.
When is his current deal expiring (including our standard +1 option)?He wouldn't sign that obviously.
Yes, but a 3 year contract at £80k per week, plus signing on fee, plus bonuses will be more than £13m. A sizeable chunk of his ‘value’ to the club. Is he worth it, probably, but only if he can stay fit.Some people seem to really hate new contacts on this place.
What's the alternative? Let him leave for free? He's worth at least £20 mil.
Yes. Let him leave on a free. He's definitely not worth that much with his injury issues.Some people seem to really hate new contacts on this place.

We already know the chances of that are slimGot no problem with him as a back up in the squad as long as he can stay fit, hopefully he's not going to get a ridiculous pay rise

Bailly joined the club in June 2016 and has made exactly 100 appearances.
Maguire joined the club in June 2019 and has already made 97 appearances.
Bailly should be sold never mind given a new contract. We need players that are fit and when a CB who joined 3 years after him is about to take over him in appearances, that is clearly evidence that Bailly is not reliable at all.
Why a signing on fee? Were not poaching him from another club. Whatever he is on he wont get elsewhere. Thats why the likes of Rojo and Romero dont or didnt want to leave.Yes, but a 3 year contract at £80k per week, plus signing on fee, plus bonuses will be more than £13m.

This. It’s easier to retain squad players on respectable wages than it is to sign another player and give them that wage to fill the void.It's a short sighted money saving contract renewal. He'll never be consistently fit enough. It's baffling to see people making similar posts to the idiotic ones in the Jones thread.
I really like him as a player, but his body is mashed. It's a real shame.
