However, no quotes from Leighton at all? Would've expected him to have had something to say on the matter, i.e. how happy and proud he is to have committed his future to the club he loves, etc.
Seems a little strange, the whole situation. Why did it take half a year to sort out? Did he always want to committ to us? What does he think going forward from this point?
Brilliant news on many levels. Not only for the fact that we have kept the best left back in the country, if not Europe, but the message it sends out to others. Most notably the media, who have spent the best part of 2 years trying to unsettle the lad and sell him to Manchester United. Baines has proven that you can be loyal to a club that means something to you personally.
i can only think that Leighton was asking for a little bit more that Everton wanted to pay, and with the emergence of Oviedo, we had a bargaining chip. However, now we dont, we bow to his demands and he gets his way.
Boss isn't it, we should'a just give him what he wanted 6 months ago.......
Made up he's staying, now we have to further improve the squad before the end ot the window.
