Defo think he can do a bale, best left back in prem

I'm sick and tired of everyone disagreeing when I say that. Ashley Cole, Ashley Cole, Ashley Cole... blah blah. Does anyone have any independent thought? Maybe use your own opinion and not sky sport's, once in a while, like.


But he's a better LB imo. He's not THAT fast, like Bale or Coleman even. I do think you get more out of him by having someone play a through ball through to him, rather than having him take on his man. He can do both, but as a winger he'd have to do more of the latter, and that wouldn't yield as much success imo.

Said it for a long time and I believe he is, and he is at his best right now in a poor Everton run.

Put him in the chelsea team that was winning trophies and ashley cole in ours and then see who gets the England LB spot.

Exactly. Ashley Cole has looked terrible during Chelsea's crap run of late, hasn't he?


Some people just think what they're told. I know we're biased, but honestly I feel strongly about this. Baines, right now, is the best fullback in the league. Not just LB.

Couldnt agree more, and so underated as well.

A lot of love for Bainsey
 

A massive NO! to those thinking Baines should play at left midfield.

He works on teh overlap, he will be marked out of a game at midfield and therefore, we will lose every game we ever play.

Slight exaggeration at the end, but I concur. Baines is a LB, and just about as good a LB as you can ask for. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Bale, if you remember, was a terrible LB so spudface tried him at LM and with his pace no doubt he thrived. Leighton's fine where he is.

No one taking me seriously that he could play up front?

Baines could play anywhere really, he's an extremely talented individual. But LB is where we'll get the most out of him.
 
Im begining to worry Man U or someone wil come in for him, clearly the best offensive defensive player in the league!

* Chukles at 18mill for Glen Johnson, BBR!

Man U is my worry. Evra's getting on, and it's only 30 miles away so he won't even have to move....
 

I hope I didn't jinx it now as I ordered a royal blue Baines last night. But yeah left back on the overlap is effective so why change it?

I disagree i think he would make a great left winger and be more consistent than bale
