Leighton Baines

[royalblue66]

Full back Glen Johnson is on £129,000, frightening.

Let's be honest, it's an absurd amount to pay anyone to do what they should be loving to do. Sport is way out of control.

I wonder if Baines will feel the same if Everton are above Utd at Christmas.

Haha, it's very plausable mate.

Forgetting everything that has happened and our link to moyes, from a footballing point of view I feel very sorry for him. SAF is a clever man, he new the state of a team he was leaving for a new man. The fergie effect has pulled them thru the last couple of years not the players. Arguably 5 of our players (Coleman jags Baines Barry mirallas) maybe a couple more would be serious contenders for there first team!

Personally think we'v agreed to let leighton go if the right price comes in for him. As said, by Xmas he could well change his mind about going utd anyway, not suggesting we're gonna end up above them but ATM I'm not seeing them being above city, Chelsea, arse and spurs.

Cashley has been ruled out the england squad.

So Baines finally gets his big opportunity to claim the spot.

BAINES IS TAKING US TO THE WERRRRLD CUP

Very nice press conference. Speaks intelligently and just a good ambassador for us.

I have said this before and I still think it is the most likely option.
Baines wanted to leave but RM and Bill Kenwright didn't want to lose both players in the same window and at the last minute.
I think it has been agreed that if Utd reach a certain figure that Baines will be allowed to leave in January.
It will have given RM four months to settle in as manager and four months to find a replacement.

Of course there is always the chance that the Utd boardroom may not be very anxious to send another 15m to Everton after their benevolence in the Fellaini transfer and the realisation that just maybe they have not taken the greatest manager in the world from Everton.

In any event I think Evra is still a very good player and Utd have much bigger problems than left back.

...this is just about the view I have been posting, but I wonder if he's agreed to stay for the full season (as opposed 'till January). All this talk about him being under contract and us refusing to sell is naïve. During the window, RM said this club will not keep hold of players who want to leave. Baines is a good pro and is respectful of his club, as a consequence I reckon he's agreed not to rock the boat and he'll be allowed to leave. If this scenario is correct, I wouldn't be surprised if the deal isn't for big bucks so LB is 'looked after'.

I still love you Leighton.

 

[Eggs]

I still love you Leighton.

...thought he was outstanding for England the other night. I reckon the Southern press are even of the view that he's ahead of Cole.

 

[blueser]

i really hope he dose not go to United

Baines

Back to his best in the last two England games with his driving runs at a high tempo in the opposition penalty box.

So why has he not being doing it under Martinez?

 

[barkleys splinter]

He has, just not as much as under Moyes.

 

[Groucho]

I think he's been just as good this year as last.

 

[bignev23]

I think he's been great, him and Piennaar link up boss so without this it mightn't look as pretty down the left but Leightons been sound as.

I love you Bainsey, you are the love of my life...
