How much win City pay?

AustinToffee · May 18, 2011

Currently im seeing 25mil for Baines, I dont want Baines going anywhere but how high can we drive up the price for Baines?

**How much will City pay that is**

He won't go. But if he did, £25-30m is the ballpark figure, which would be astonishing money for a full-back.

how high? by saying (and meaning it) that hes not going anywhere and then getting an offer we cant refuse i.e. mega-silly money

I do not want him to go! No way! I guess you have to say look at how much City paid for Lescott as a ball park figure....

He's not your average fullback though, is he?

This is why he is literally irreplaceable; no fullback possesses his kind of delivery. It's something you only usually see in top level wingers and playmakers.

I hope he stays but money talks and who amongst us wouldn't move for a mega payrise? I am afraid we can no longer turn down the silly money ****ty can offer.

If they come in for a double offer for Baines & Rodders and its around the 45 / 50 million bracket. The board will be packing there cases for them I am afraid to say.

I would absolutely bite their hands off for £50m for the pair. I love Baines, but there's too many areas of the squad which need improving. As for Rodwell it'd be the best time to cash in on him now. Think of all the players we could buy for such an amount! Three top class players at £10m-£15m or two and about 5 solid players. We'd be stupid not to, would be very exciting to see what Moyes could do with it too.

This is so true, and unfortunatly someone will go in the near future to service debt and hopefully Moyed can yet again wave this magic wand he is so good with.

25 million for either or dont bother.
