Villa fans complain about Bailey: “Send him back to Roma.”

Leon Bailey’s return to Aston Villa isn’t going as planned.

After a disappointing experience at Roma, the Jamaican winger returned to England in the last transfer window with the aim of relaunching his career and regaining his playing time, but his impact on the season so far has been disappointing.

Nearly a month after his return, his relationship with the Villa fans already appears strained.

Bailey has only been used consistently during matches and, in his appearances so far, has failed to make a real impact.

This performance has fueled concern and criticism, especially on social media, where the atmosphere surrounding the player has quickly become tense. Among the most common comments are phrases like “Can we send him back to Roma?”, “Now it’s clear why Roma sent him back,” and “Go back to Roma,” clear signs of growing disappointment.

The difficulties were particularly evident in the last match against Bournemouth. Having come on in the second half, Bailey made no impact on the game, with statistics tending towards zero.
