The Hibbert Agenda
Player Valuation: £20m
Just thinking, if RM is so confident on Baines staying, why isn't he signing a new contract? If anything it protects us should a future bid come in as it would surely hike the fee up.
Seems a bit strange
Contract negotiations are long and complicated
I assume that maybe RM and EFC don't want to rock the boat in any way
Make it a case of, while the transfer window is open NO ONE is looking at Baines' contract
Don't need to get his agent in a position to say, well look Bainesy EFC are only offering X but if you start batting your eyelashes you can get Y
