It needs to be made very clear to him that he has no future here.

Bailly is an odd one, in that I still think there's some hope if was given a proper chance again, yes it's all gone a bit wrong, but it's not like a Jones situation, where all hope is lost.
Remember Jones wouldn’t go to Marseilles or whoever and wanted to fight for his place, that turned out well played one game or something.
Even when he's fit he's an accident waiting to happen. Even his good moments are so just wildly done. I'll be glad to see him gone, like the majority of our current crop of defenders.
It was well reported that Ole misled players on gametime to convince them to stay.
That's not the same as him giving out the contracts
He helped decide who should be renewed.
No manager actually leads the contract negotiations. That was never my point.
We really do have a bunch of freeloaders at the club, don't we?
Players like Bailly and Jones etc can't be taken seriously as football players, because they are more than happy to hardly ever play, but yet still collect their high wages week in and week out.
It's no wonder, why hardly any clubs are interested in them.

Said a couple of weeks ago I feel we'll see more departures once everyone is back and the tour is done. Most players will take the opportunity to try and impress the new manager rather than head off before then, but expect that will change once ETH tells them himself that they're not in his plans.
Seriously? He's never fit anyway so from his perspective he may as well stay.
How do we keep signing so many unprofessional players? Go somewhere you'll actually play games and earn your salary packet, you lazy bum.
Because we stopped caring about how our players were as people in the last 8-9 years. There wasn't an interest in if their personality was a good fit.
As much as I would like the club to sell Bailly, why is it a bad thing that he wants to fight for a first team space?
Surely as a club we want players to be wanting to fight to be involved? And if he has stated that he wants to stay and fight for a place then surely that's not a bad thing?!

If he's saying it for the right reasons and is able to stay professional if he still doesn't play much then no. It's not like it's impossible for him to be an option again given the players ahead of him right now either.
And tbf we have Jones and Tuanzebe that need to moved on first anyway.
Because that attitude won’t persist it he isn’t playing and just contributes to the toxic atmosphere we’ve seen recently.
Haven't we heard this shite a million times before? He's made of biscuit anyway, what's it worth having a player wanting to fight for a spot he's never healthy enough to claim.

:P it’s not close anymore!
So many of our fringe players are content to sit on their massive wages and not play any football, it really calls their character into question and stresses the need for us to analyse the mentality of players before we sign them in the future.
People were saying that 2/3 years ago. It's time to move on.
if they want to stay then let them. in the reserves / u23s. Lets not waste first team spots on players who clearly arent part of the picture / blocking pathways for our youth. Id be happy with Varane / Maguire / Lindelof and Martinez (or AN other new CB) as our CB options, supported by a couple of youth prospects in the first team squad.
Players have seen others over the last few years just hang around and collect their wages whilst still being in the first team squad, but not getting any playtime. That culture needs challenging.

Bailly has been here what 6 years? It's so weird that people still want to give him a chance to prove himself and come good. Clubs like City or Chelsea would have binned him off ages ago.
We have 3 CBs in front of Bailly in the pecking order, and we are trying to sign another one. Yet he wants to stay and fight for his place.
I m not against anyone doing a Bogarde, but at least he was professional, wasnt going AWOL and he admitted that he was staying only for the contract. And Bogarde was over 30. Bailly is doing it since he was 26.

Yep - I'd love to be pleasantly surprised but there's absolutely nothing that makes me think Bailly is worth keeping around. Hopefully he gets told as much soon.
Shame as I thought he was very decent in his first season with us.

Pretty much. None of the "clean slate" stuff. Some players need to be told they won't even make the bench if they refuse to leave. About time the club starts getting harsh with certain players, even though I do have a soft spot for Bailly.
Of course you are Eric.
If he can stay fit........he can still leave.
Came in to post exactly this.
It's going to take a few years to run through the spongers and they're going to struggle to get anything like what we've given them.
I reckon West Ham want to pay Lingard half what we were wasting on him.
Hopefully, the gravy train starts to run dry sooner rather than later.
Woodward and Judge are terrorists and should be arrested.
Sure,sure, he was like "No Eddie, stop it, dont extend them, dont want them here, need those wages to fund something else, stop it" and they did it anyway, which makes him look even worse.Edit: Also, yea he didnt write contracts but there is no washing from those decisions, he had good part in it.
Can't be disappointed when a player doesn't want to leave the club, it's not their fault that they've been given the contracts they have, and they have every right to see out that contract. I personally couldn't hang around and not play, it's a short career and I'd want to make the most of it. But everyone is different. If you have good friends at a club, love tge area, have a settled family etc, it has to impact your thinking as a player.
Regarding his performances, I actually think he's been pretty good when he's played. In fact, I think he can feel a bit hard done by under Ole because he lost his place at a time when he was really playing well, just because an injured player returned. I didn't agree with that at the time.

Problem is him and Phil Jones fighting for their place would mean higher chances of other players getting injured in training.
Clubs like Chelsea and City haven't had the sort of management we've had over the last few years.
We seem to have a unique ability at making good players look bad, so you're never quite sure where you are with them.
That's exactly why clubs only want loans, no one is in a position to sign them on permanent deals due to mental wages
Says who?
Has Bailly been disruptive previously? I've seen a few comments from him here and there but nothing too controversial.
I agree. Bailly should be moved on if possible.
But I just don't see why people are quick to jump on a negative thought process when someone states they want to fight for a first team spot as they are the types of players we need.
can't force a player to leave I guess. Some of those players will just sit out the ridiculous contracts they were able to get from our shambolic management and there's nothing we can really do about it at this point. From a football standpoint, it should be abundantly clear to both Bailly and Jones that they don't have a future here, especially if we add Martinez ... but that won't stop them from sitting out their fat contract, ahem, fight for their place.
Exactly, These players aren't stupid. Most of them know this is as good as they're ever going to get. Also, look at the ones who went out on loan, how many can the staying players see that it's worked out for?
Slow news day it seems!
How reliable is this twitter account, I swear most of the stuff I see from them seem to be baseless negative rumours
