Baines' left foot · January 31, 2013

Can't believe we've paid Â£11m for some no mark in the Championship.

I'm pretty sure I heard the same kind of complaints when we signed Seamus Coleman...

So is this not a fake bid ?

Probably not, I imagine Everton are actually capable of paying the figures involved with this transfer.

Paying 3 million pound over 3 years isn't quite as bad as offering 10million euros over 3 years when the selling club is asking for 15million Euros.

So to confirm, it's not fake ?

So is he any good like? what his best position?

Underwhelming.

See we've bought Heitinga's replacement before we actually sell him.

We don't know for sure, but I'd say its unlikely.

As stated, offering 3 million pound over 3 years for a young, up and coming Championship player is about right. And it's absolutely nothing like offering 10million Euros over 3 years, when the selling club is after 15million Euros for a Spanish international striker.

And it certainly isn't like 'bidding' 12million for Shearer when we didn't have 12million to spend, and when Newcastle had already had their 15million pound bid accepted.

Right back, but he's quite tall (6'2) so could maybe be a CB in the future. Seen the words 'promising' and 'hot prospect' used loads, Barnsley fans seem gutted about losing him.

Will be a very good back up for Coleman. If it means we can stop playing Jags there then get him in !

He's not going to refuse to play RB too is he? =/

We're placing a centre half who sometimes plays centre mid with a guy who plays right back ?

Weird !

Yeah i said this morning i would be happy with a new rb, Jags is wasted at rb and need to play at the back. Is he going back to Barnsley on loan? he a key player for them at the moment.
