Baines hasn't cried at every opportunity to move.
I don't doubt his commitment, which we seem to be lacking in abundance at the moment.
He's not been his best for a while, but I don't think a replacement full back is a priority - could do with some genuine competition like.
Fans cry when players don't show loyalty, he shown it. Lets show some back eh...
I think this is our biggest problem.
We have been moaning for ages about how bad our defence is (and it is) and yet whenever people decide they want to change things they never seem to touch the defence!
To be honest I wouldnt get rid of him myself just because I dont really see the point. He wouldn't command a big fee any more and is useful to have in the squad. I would be looking at replacing him in the starting 11 though. he has lost a yard or two of pace and lacks the dynamism that used to make him an incredibly effective attacking full back. He has never been a particularly good defender so having him in the first 11 is asking for trouble these days.
There are a few players like that though, Jagielka, Barry, one of Stekelenberg and Robles. They are players I have no issues with keeping around but if we are to push on they cant be first team players any more.
