[cite]Posted By: randy andy[/cite]Well he's on the transfer list and they already have their replacement signed so it's just a case of meeting their valuation
will do folks i will see him 2morrow and if it isnt sorted by then i will see him saturday b4 the swans match but hopefully we will have done it by then
Just seen this story on the sky sports website and if he played 50 games last year he must not get injured too often and reading between the lines if we sign him will we let ZZ go
Or....
1. They want to drum up more interest to raise the price
2. They want their fans to see they are not selling him short when he does go and that they have not been bullied by a player

Interesting stuff and hadn't seen that before.
I'd never heard of him before this came up but sounds like the new Kinsella to me[/quote]
Or the new Scott Parker, if the Sky Sports article is quoting him correctly.
Its a bit out of order that he feels he 'cant be expected to play' when his head isn't in it. Especially when Southend are still paying his wages. Could any of us get away with that in our respective workplaces & still get paid?
Apparently did the same to Barnet, toys out of the pram, 'head in the wrong place' type-stuff when Southend went him for him last summer. If he did sign, have one good season, but we don't achieve promotion, & a bigger offer came in, we may be subject to similar treatment.

No...
When players want to come to Charlton it's because they are ambitious hard-working types who want to win things, when they want to leave Charlton it's because they are treacherous money grabbing mercanaries with no loyalty. Realisticaly Charlton is a very good step up for a player like Bailey financially and in football playing terms. If he arrives, acquits himself well and then moves on to better things then at least we'll be able to turn a profit on him.

Agreed - it's dog eat dog and the bigger dog usually wins. If he joins and is a revelation then thats good for us
He is extremely unpopular with the Shrimpers now though
Another way of looking at this is that he's likely to be going to double his wages(possibly even more) on let's say a three year contract which would be worth(at a guess) probably somewhere around £600,000+ 'more' to him than he's currently getting.
As he seems certain to be moving within a week or two to some club or another (hopefully to us of course), I can fully understand why he wouldn't risk an injury in playing just one or two more games for The Shrimpers, as hard as that may seem to them.....his career with them is to all intense and purposes over with them, one way or the other.
You can't blame the lad I suppose...fancy how he'd feel if he picked up an injury of the type that could scupper his move....he'd be pig sick wouldn't he.
How could Bailey be the villain? This isn't Arshavin. Bailey rejected a new contract and the Shrimpers transfer-listed him: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_3656050,00.html To my mind, Southend has told him that he'll be playing somewhere else this season, so what is wrong with him saying the same thing back to his current employers?
"This is an opportunity of a life time for me, to join one of the Championship's biggest clubs is something I only dreamed about when I was playing non-league just a few years ago."
Ha! Now we know why Pards wants him. Bailey has that all essential non-League pedigree .......(!)

if we accept the bid for ZZ we have...
If we've had a bid rejected we must have some.
Ahem! Sir Keith Jones? ;-)
Heard good things about this Bailey chap. Could be a decent acquisition if a transfer went through.
And he got the Leroy Lita scoop. NLA is the man.

A Southend point of view
Interesting stuff and hadn't seen that before.
I'd never heard of him before this came up but sounds like the new Kinsella to me

Does sound a very good prospect though.
