This was sparked by the discussion on joey or leighton, should we give baines a try somewhere in midfield
he looked good defensively, but i thought baines really shined whenever he would push forward. as i recall, i think we tried baines at a more advanced role when he first arrived and it didn't work out so well, but maybe now that he's had time to settle in, its worth it to give him another shot.
i honestly don't know where he'd fit in best at midfield, maybe we could put him on the left wing, pienaar on the right, and push osman central with arteta:

Howard
hibbert jags yobo lescott
neville
baines osman arteta pienaar
cahill

neville
baines osman arteta pienaar
cahill
is this feasible? i really don't want to drop baines based on form, but i'd hate for yobo to lose his spot based on injury alone, he's much too important to the long term goals of this team.
