Let's have a non-subjective list of things "Bainesy" has done for the club then.

Called out Martinez as a fraud and helped get him sacked

He gave those fans a lift that one day...he didnt look very happy about it though, i think he might be a bit of a misery

No, the results going over a cliff got Martinez sacked.

This isn't about David, it's a question of what Baines has done for the club (in terms of tangible achievements) in his time here.

I'd argue nothing special. Played well, scored some winners (so did Bily, Kone etc), but that's about it.

Lol @orly trying to discredit how good Leighton Baines was.

Certainly do - everyone can agree on them.

Not at all.

The fella said he was grateful to "Bainesy" for everything he has done for the club. I just asked for an objective list of these things.

...I suppose you could say that for any player since 1995. Baines did get a number of England caps. He’s not the same standard as Ray Wilson or even Van den Hauwe but there’s more worst than him than better in my time watching the Blues.

But again though, the caps are his achievements and well done him, but of little net benefit to Everton. His performances are subjective, some will say good, some will say bad.

What has, definably, Baines accomplished at Everton for the benefit of the club?

Lukaku, you could argue, played well enough to realise a massive profit on his purchase cost. It's a fact that the club profited on his transfer.

Baines has essentially been take, take, take, with a few highlights in return, but nothing tangible.

Scored two free kicks in a game against West Ham. Blew my load at that.

Unfortunately Baines bringing you to ejaculation is of no net benefit to Everton.
