Leighton Baines

[BoysInBlue]

I'm not bitter and twisted, I've been going the match 25 years plus. I remember us winning the league.

But if a player leaves us..... I want Everton to do well. I don't care about Man Utd and Moyes; I hope they all win nothing and Everton win something.

Everton are the greatest team in the world in my eyes, and there is no finer club to play for, and I will never understand someone not wanting to play for us.

In the same way that Neville Southall has memorably pointed out how a generation of fans have been brainwashed into thinking finishing 6th is boss and 'success', so to have the 'he deserves the chance to better himself' crowd, you know, because Everton are obviously 'so inferior'.

No-one deserves anything. He's well paid to do a job for us, a job he does very well and is handsomely paid for, and is under contract for 2 more years. He's adored by Evertonians, and and if he signed a new 5 year deal, would cement him as one of the Everton greats of the modern era. Up to him what he wants his legacy to be.

Yeah, he could go to them and be in with a better chance of winning something. Or he could stay with us, possibly win something with us, and become an Everton legend. Up to him. But I'm not going to fawn all over him possibly going to Utd and be so honoured Utd are taking yet another key Everton employee.

I bet you're on the verge of topping yourself looking at the new signings.

Class and Dignity.

Look it up.

A bit harsh that, but if class and dignity means bending over every time Utd come knocking then each to their own.

Anyone see James Pearce in the Echo today? A big headline reading "Dear Luis Suarez, please stop doing this to the fans who love you so much."



Proper sad lot. I want none of that if we lose Baines or any other key player. It's not nice obviously but that's life when you're not in the Champions League unfortunately, get on with it and do what you can to soldier on. No cringe worthy crap about loyalty.

Bit like Arteta leaving. Gutted, but we move on.

The last thing I remember that John Merro bloke being adamant about was saying Daniel Pranjic and Hugo Rodallega were about to sign imminently, deal done.

Don't need to really say anything more than that...

Absolute garbage. If Baines signed a new contract it means he's staying at least another season.


People, seriously, stop reading Twitter - they know nothing.

Probably is already

I feel for you. I get the impression most cats are!

We don't even need to wait and see. There is no way, at all, that Leighton Baines would sign a new contract if he even remotely intends to leave the club this transfer window. It just would not happen.

You don't have to be ITK at all to realise that, it's just common sense. Baines is no mercenary - if he signs a contract it's because he intends to stay at Everton. There's no other reason to sign a contract right now.
