It probably because (and apologies I might be wrong) he'll be the first Cov born kid in living memory to play for England first team? Evo mentioned Wison - coupled with him being the first Cov born kid to score a prem hat trick, you have to etierh be proud and happy for home born ex players like them .... or wallow in how shit this City is at producing footballers when all we've got to spunk over is something so trivial.
It's great news for the academy for sure and I'm happy he's made it.
Messi and Ronaldo are the cream of the crop, there are plenty of World class players. He will be world class.
Jesus wept. That is well over the top haha.
We have just got to a WC semi final tbf. I know we had fairly easy ride but it’s more than we’ve achieved previously with world class players everywhere in our team
Whatever it’s a feather in the cap for our Acadamy. Hard enough to find players good enough for pro football at all let alone England let’s hope there’s more to come
Agree.
Reg If I remember right goalkeeper Reg Matthews was the first City born player to play for England he did it in 1956 when we were playing in the 3rd division south from memory the first player to do so.(class ) .I rated Maddison when I first saw him said so many times on here thought he would go all the way to the top . I think Bayliss will follow the same path just hope we can hold on to him a little bit longer than Maddison and progress further.
There is so much wrong in that statement it’s untrue.
I’m sorry.... I’m pleased for him as a person that he has got an England call up but no way has he done enough to deserve it and I certainly cannot think of any time watching either Henderson or Maddison but thinking they will be good footballers. If the England side wasn’t so weak in midfield would either have got a look in and the midfield is where we are so weak.Some astonishing comments about both Maddison and Henderson. How anyone could have watched either of them play for us and not see international potential is baffling. In Maddison’s case, it needed all of 2 minutes.
If Turner’s right and we only get 10% of JM’s sell-on fee, and 10% of what Norwich receive for England appearances etc., it’s hard to swallow tbh. I’m certainly not rubbing my hands with glee at the “windfall”.
Not saying we could have kept him indefinitely, but we capitulated like a small-town club, and the cumulative money we are going to get out of it wouldn’t pay a Prem player’s wages for more than a few months
Proud that we brought him through and all that, but it fills me with disappointment.
Yes I have I’m bloody well entitled to my bloody opinion.
Yeah you are probably right kid, before I was born so thats my excuse lol! I'd like to think Bayliss has a future like this, the unfortunate thing is to find that path it will more than likely be with another club. At least a long deal means we will either see more of his ability here, or at least benefit from any transfer.
