'Our best defender', 'does he have no shame?': Global United community react to Eric Bailly contract rumours

Reddit

AreYouDecent: "Not sure how big the market is for Bailly with his injury record, but he's a good option to have for 15-20 games a season."

sujith7113: "He hasn't played more than 1,400 min since his first season at the club. That is awfully similar to Phil Jones when he got his contract extension - the last time he played more than 2,000 min was when Moyes was our manager. If he agrees to a pay-as-you-play contract or a massive pay cut then it's fine but otherwise, just let him go."

TStronks: "I love Bailly, but this doesn't sound like a good idea. Sometimes it's just better to take a loss and move on. He can't stay fit for more than a few games per season, which just isn't enough for him to be a good rotational option."

Jamie Lawton: "I don’t blame him. In my eyes, he’s our best defender. If he stays fit he should be the first choice. The first thing I check on the team sheet is if Bailly is playing instead of Lindelof. He brings so much more to the team than either Maguire or Lindelof. Pace, determination and heart. I hope he stays but for some reason, Ole always goes back to Maguire and Lindelof a partnership that just doesn’t work."

Uton Bright: "The way Eric Bailly is being treated by Ole is totally demoralizing. As a former player himself, the manager should know better, shameful. His actions towards Bailly is blatantly disrespectful!"

Emmanuel Takyi-Appaih: "If you believe you are better than Maguire and Lindelof then fight for your place by first of all not getting injured consistently, then by grabbing your chance when it comes. I'm tired of you always being injured though I believe you are our best defender."

CG1010: "Does he have no shame? After getting wages without being available for a huge chunk of his time at United, he wants to get guaranteed football? Well if the manager could rely on him to be available for most of the season, I am sure he would have been the first choice."

AltiUn: "Said it was a mistake offering him a new contract, think it's even more of a mistake now we've heard this, same reason giving Phil Jones a contract was a mistake. There's just no point having a player who only plays 10 games a season."

Judas: "If he could stay fit he'd play more. He can't be trusted, he will never be trusted long term. Having one of his mates saying this sort of shite in the media won't do him any favours, not being made of glass would indeed help his career though."
