Rumoured Leon Bailey

[Thor 2,689]

Exactly the type of player we need. Someone who actually runs at defences and forces them to react. 

Our team currently is content with passing the ball around the outside and waiting. Moses is the only one who actually tries to run at defences but he really isn't cut out for it unless the gaps are there. 

I was told how average Sane was before he went to City, and how we wouldn't need him, and you look at him on that City team and what a game changer he is... Don't want to let another opportunity slip.

Lol overrated... Hahaha 22m for a 20yr old in this market? Ask your mates how much would they pay for him? Even if it rises to 30m, in this market that's a small pinch for the potential he possesses.

He's a finisher on the final 3rd very good close control and clinical with his left.

This is precisely the type of player Chelsea need to buy, we Aren't going all in for attackers who are readymade bonafide stars, just can't afford to do it anymore.

 

Who is to say we can get him for a decent sum instead of those absurd fees? Also why would they even entertain on selling him for that sum, for example Monaco is quoted for wanting 80 mil for Lemar.

I'm only going on what I've heard. But please ask your friends how he's overrated I'm dying to dig into this!

Man, this player is a talent. He caused Bayern's defence so much problems. His dribbling pace, directness, trickery and balance is excellent. Has a very good shot on him too. I hope there is a video compilation for his performance against Bayern. Terrorised their defence. Probably one of the fastest players in Europe, I am sure off too and he is only getting better. Fellow Jamaican too

What I seen of him he's very similar to zaha

I would say plays like Douglas Costa, but with much better end product and potential and if he carries on, he will be a top player. Can't imagine he will be at Leverkusen much longer. We are talking about a player who is just 20 and taking the league by storm.

I would be all over this but it just does not feel like a chelsea signing...makes too much sense i guess. And as for overrated, sure therr is some hype but most neutral bundesliga pundits deem him the best attacking winger in germany this season. He has brutal pace, is direct, still only 20, can shoot a bit and is left footed so how much overhyped can he be. We have been in need for a left footed attacker for ages now. I am not sure where he would fit in if we were to continue playing 352 (maybe second striker when hazard is injured or move hazard to no 10) which imo we should not anyway. In a 343 or any system with true wingers he could flourish. He can easily start over pedro or willian. I recently read two articles over him in german press. Bayer sporting Director Rudi Völler said at some size a bid will be hard to reject and from context of the interview siggested hat bid would be 50m

What gets me is his ball control even at full speed. Very fast clever kid. I'd give my dangleys for a handful of players this age of this skill level

It's from 6 July 2015 like the caption says. We will wait until he is worth 100m, then not be interested anymore.

While another couldn’t hide their excitement: “CHELSEA SIGN HIM NOW!!!!!!”

Bailey admitted last week his dream is to one day play in the Premier League, and the picture of him in a Chelsea top could suggest that is where he wants to play.  

"Of course I have a dream club, but I will not tell," Bailey said.

"Basically, England was and still is my dream. And if I keep working hard, I’m sure it will work someday. The change to Bayer was just the right step for my development."

I personally haven't watch him, but people who are watching Bundesliga and Bayer, say that he is actually decent and is one the best Bayer players at the moment. He is fast, young and wants to play for Chelsea, probably won't cost so much also. But it's possible that our board haven't even heard about him...

[Dazzy_Vance 454]

We will look into him, realise the fee is too high then sign Nathan Redmond.

We've been linked to him since the days he played in Belgium for Genk.
