Gushing here.

..you have to wonder if Baines is prepared to be back up. I know he’s on big bucks, but if Tierney happens I can see Baines moving in this window for first team football and a 3 year contract elsewhere.

 

[Bluewolf]

Haha people believe this guff. There is no way on this planet we're signing a 21 year old left back on 85k a week rising to 145k a week.

What happened to trimming the wage bill ffs. Always makes me laugh that after the story breaks then all these people who didn't have a clue about it before hand suddenly have intermit details of the deal. Jokes trying to get people to listen to their sad little podcast.

hes in the celtic team for a friendlys at 4.30 today,might have a little watch of it,watched bits of there games last few days

..it’s why loyalty goes out of the window from both a player and selling club perspective.

The figures only matter if he fails to produce on the pitch.

The Bhoy loves the Hoops and will be back up there any chance he gets, once he eventually leaves.

However, not a chance we go anywhere near those figures initially.

That wouldnt be the worst solution in the world, question mark over what Robinson may consider also, Tierney is only a year older than robinson so would robinson be prepared to play understudy for someone who could be ahead of him progressing.

Baines wont mind being backup - plus he'll still have a big role to play anyway. Baines isn't a fan of football (if that makes sense) he's happened to have been good at the Sport so used it to make really good money for him and his family, other than that he just isnt arsed, and definitely wont be now he's in his 30s and seemingly on the decline.

Cuco Martina would look boss in the SPL. Swerve this lad or we’ll have another very expensive mistake on our hands.

Im asuming they mean its a rising wage on his current ability and factoring in enough money to dislodge him from celtic I'd say 85k is probably a ball park figure. the rising to 145k over 5 years is hugely risky if he flops but

 

[MACCA75]

Its not.

It is

 

[BlueToff]

I'd love nothing more for this to happen just to shut the Celts right up. Every single one of them scoffing at the idea of him wanting to move to us.

They're not though.

There's a few sensible ones pointing out exactly why he would.

But it's just like some of our fans saying Celtic aren't a big club in their own right as well.

Baines strikes me as a guy who will duty bound to see out the final year of his contract. Good man to have in the squad too with a young player coming in to replace him. I'd like to see LB stay because he's more than capable of stepping in if needed.

 

[BlueToff]

Would be a brilliant signing if right, £18m upfront in todays market is a great deal.

Not bothered about the wage, he won't earn the upper levels of that until later in the contract (or a renewal), we have worse players on similar or more....

Well, Gylfi is on £120k I believe. He's now our top earner (it would have been Ross had he signed his deal) now Rooney has left.

 

[John the Screw]

145k a week on someone completely unproven tells me that we’ve learnt nothing. Well in Marcel Walsh.

...it would be a major step-up for Robinson to be considered back-up. I imagine he’d be delighted to be part of the first team set up.
