Leighton Baines

[The Hibbert Agenda]

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

Yeah, fair point that.

Felli's out the door, it's clear Martinez wants McCarthy. Baines will go, it's clear Moyes wants him, and we won't stand in his way when 15m comes in

Are you ITK lad, we haven' had a good source for information in a while ?

This transfer request thing makes me laugh. The story started in the Express which has had several accurate united stories in recently including the first to say about the original baines bid. The story is United want Baines to show he is serious on a move by handing in a transfer request. How about United show Baines they are serious about buying him by actually making a bid that reflects his market value.

I hope the comments RM has made regarding us not needing to sell to balance the books are correct and we can tell Moyes to kindly **** off when he tries to panic but our players on transfer deadline day for cut price fees.

Erm....where are you getting any of this info from? Doom and Gloom Weekly?

McCarthy is gash

"United want Baines to submit a transfer request"

Tapping up again eh? Disgraceful. Coming hard on the heels of their faux apology over Moyes. They can get stuffed.

Manc Grannies must have lost their appeal for him.

Personally I just wish the Guardian journo had kept his mouth shut and not writen anything.

Hi Bainsey...not gay, but I'd probably marry you. Made up that you're still with us...it would have tore me up, hardcore.
