As with many attacking players, Bailey can play multiple positions. To me he actually fits better in a central position as he’s not that quick or athletic. Very good close control but not the quickest running with the ball.

Thanks.
Yeah definitely some similarities there.
Yeah there’s always something about small players who are able to compensate the lack of size with the way they use their bodies, agility and balance. Angel Gomes as an example.
Yeah, 2nd half has been a real non event.
Yeah it was a mix of Barbosa and Ibrovic-Fletcher. The players looked knackered, can’t blame them for not having the energy to go at full pelt.
Quite often the youth loans are sorted late in the window when the first team manager has his final squad for the season completed. I agree that there are quite a few decisions to be made but I believe all of them will be made during the last two weeks of the window.
It still feels very reactionary. A lack of plan for our youngsters, these kinds of things should be done way earlier. City, Chelsea etc have already sent their youngsters to clubs in England and abroad, so I'm not buying it.
Yeah I get that, we do seem to somewhat lack proper planning in that department.
You seem to have your ear to the ground when it comes to the youth arrangements at the club. Do you get any sense that Shola’s brother remaining at the club is contingent on Shola not being sold i.e. if Shola leaves, is there a danger his brother does too? His younger brother looks a real talent and I imagine that there’s a lot of other clubs sniffing around him!
Sounds reminiscent of big Norman Whiteside…
Considering Shola is an adult and his family not necessarily needing to move with him, I don’t think Tunde would go anywhere even if Shola leaves. Guess it depends if he stays in England or tries to build his career abroad like a lot of young English players do nowadays.
I was actually thinking of it more from a “toys out of the pram” type scenario rather than all the family having to move together with Shola. Sort of a “If Shola isn’t good enough for you than neither is Tunde” situation but it sounds as though you’re saying that’s unlikely anyway so all good!
If their parents are smart they won’t resort to anything like that. It’s a completely separate scenario but who knows. Not all football parents make the right decisions.I was actually thinking of it more from a “toys out of the pram” type scenario rather than all the family having to move together with Shola.

It’s impossible for any of us to say but several people who would know better have said Shola’s family are a pain in the ass to deal with and have thrown their toys out of the pram fairly often so it wouldn’t be surprising.I was actually thinking of it more from a “toys out of the pram” type scenario rather than all the family having to move together with Shola.

Sure sounds like it.

Wonder why and whether anyone in the football industry gets any benefit out of it. Should be the other way around surely?
I also don't understand why youngsters are only allowed to have a trial at 2 teams now. How does that benefit anyone!
