Baines

[- Bradders -]

Where the **** has this unbudging 8million price tag, always touted in the media for Baines, come from? At least double, and that's generous still.

I genuinely consider Baines the best in the world in his position at the moment so this constant fee of £8m that is getting banded about, to me, is a MASSIVE insult to the player. Ridiculous.

Coentrao went for 30 million. Granted Baines is a little older, he should be at around the 20 mill mark.

Baines for me is a lot better than Coentrao at LB though.

8 million is a joke, 20+ is about right.

 

[PeterMeter]

Ask Chelsea for Cashley's going price, double/triple it and we're at Baines' value roughly.
One has expiring contract, is 30+ and in decline. One is the leading creator of chances from all of Europe's top leagues.

Ridiculous to expect or speculate in anything below 20+ really.

 

[Pabbers]

£15 million is the most we will get, and is about fair I think. He is 28.

We tend to look at it as if we're the buyers when we value our players.

Things like age, resale value, experience and character don't neccesarily matter to the likely buyers of a player like Baines. If Man City, Chelsea or Madrid came in for him then they'd most likely pay whatever they needed to pay to beat rivals to his signature.

If more than one rich side was interested and we were willing to sell we'd be looking at a lot of money IMO.

£25m or GTFO

Lets just not sell him for now.

 

[royalbalou]

He is the one player I wouldn't think of selling for a number of reasons:

Obviously his ability, best attacking full back around by a long distance
He 'gets' Everton, which is quite a rarity these days
You don't get huge sums for defenders generally - max 20m which, after replacing him with a lesser player would not give us the funds to improve the team generally
His appearance record, Mr reliable

If we we're forced to sell to raise funds, as much as I'd hate it then it'd have to be Fellaini. The sum we'd get for him would/should be enough to make a difference to the club..granted to the detriment of the team initially

Sad times that we're even discussing it

 

[Baines' left foot]

Lets just not sell him for now.

I agree mate IMWT COYB NSNO!!

 

[bluebottle]

I agree mate IMWT COYB NSNO!!

cant believe we r even having this discushion. Kenwright shouldnt be looking to sell our assets from under us. Probably wouldnt even see 4 million of Baines sale. Clapclapcalp said my doctor.

 

[Brennan]

I'm fairly sure the figure United were going to pay was about £15m, before he told them to get f***ed that is.

Interesting that Baines has 2 goals and 0 assists while Oviedo has 2 goals and 2 assists.

Not Sure if this was posted before.(From Sky Sports) Punters have been queuing up to lump money on Leighton Baines joining Manchester United in January, with Sky Bet now going odds-on (8/11) on the move being completed next month in the wake of fresh speculation linking the Everton left-back with the Red Devils.
