Leon Bailey

Post by Belgianclaret » Wed Jan 25, 2017 11:35 pm

By the looks of it, we won't get Snodgrass & possibly (hopefully not) we will miss out on Brady.

Why not follow an alternative (BC) route and have a punt on Leon Bailey, a 19 year old winger from Jamaica, currently playing in Genk.

The guy is in demand, but 10 million quid will do the trick if you ask me

He did really well in the Europa League didn't he?

Still a rough diamond, but a terrific prospect & pace to burn

15 Mil and Snodgrass. :)


All smokes and mirrors.
Reckon Hull are taking the pee. They know he's not coming here. Just stringing us along hoping we leave it too late to get anyone. :)

Saw him at Cork City earlier this season. Genk had a number of good players and he was one of them.

Indeed Hull are in for him.

Can't see why we can't beat them to the punch though...

Not sure what you mean with a Dyche player, but he's certainly a very talented left winger with an eye for a goal

Wingers a fickle lot temperamental and difficult to fit into the the grid, Ginnelly looks a better bet at £1000.

He's close to signing for a German team by all accounts. Leverkusen I thought.
