    This shows how people trying to analyse quality by reducing everything into figures are simply talking out of their a***s. To anyone who knows a little bit of football, Bailly has been a success (so far) and surely that's one of the tests of value. To pick him as the most overpriced footballer undermines the whole "study".

    That's pretty much the main test of value.

    Always wondered at people who defend flops because they were relatively cheap. That doesn't make up for the fact that they have cost you points and success by being ****. Always better to spend the money and get the player you really need than compromise and waste a smaller amount of money imo.

    @Matth_2014 please pronounce his name properly, it's getting annoying.

    It's pronounced same way as Desailly. Please get it right.

    Is he saying Bailey, as in Bill Bailey? <laugh>

    Same way he said Duh Gee-ya, instead of De Heya for De Gea.

    I'm afraid so. It's embarrassing. Funny thing is he used to pronounce Gary Bailey same way as Desaily!

    He was steady in the 2nd half. Trouble is, as a defender you have to be steady for 90 mins to avoid criticism.

    He's still young to be fair, he's got a lot of learning to do but from what I've seen from him, he has the potential to be a world-class defender for us in the next 5 years in my opinion.
