Leighton Baines

[sam1972]

Won't leave the North West. Suffers from homesickness

thought the same.
and if utd think he's available he'll go there

 

[Francis Gibbs]

we wont make CL so sort of kills this at source

Ali Z says slim chance of Baines so

 

[NYSpur]

Bumping based on Ali Z's ITK of slim chance.

I don't like this because it means Coentrao is still in doubt. On the positive side he would get to pair up with England backs Walker and Dawson. Maybe our efforts during this transfer window can turn him, but it seems like a distant shot.

I'd also love it because it would mean we'd deny manure a target.

 

[Mr Pink]

Would definitely be up for this move.

Doubt it will happen though.

This is as good as Coentrao as although Baines doesnt offer you the outright pace Coentrao does he offers you experience and his crossing and set pieces are amazing!

 

[sbrustad]

Good player, but not worth what Everton will want for him if the reports are true.

 

[Snuzzy]

Acts both as a little message, and implicit offer of mutual non-interest in each other's targets, to Man U, and as a way of getting in line for the next best if Man U do swoop in properly for Coentrao.

Sorry Ali Z is not ITK. He just reads papers

 

[moomin]

would love him so much. hes my favorite non-spurs player in the prem. crazy things always happen in the last few days of the window..... everton would surely want to sell to us more than utd

 

[Blake Griffin]

Sorry Ali Z is not ITK. He just reads papers

which paper has baines to spurs been in?

 

[MR_BEN]

But he's ugly.

It goes against the grain of all of our signings so far. Except Chadli... but he's just average... no where near Baines level of uglyness.

Such a quality player, I cannot believe we aren't in for Baines if there is any choice of us getting him. My flatmate is a huge Everton supporter so I get to see him more times than I'd like tbh, and everytime I just end up baffled by how insanely good he is, no wonder Man Utd were in for him.

Listening to talkSPORT in the back of the cab and there are reports on the back page of a paper (don't know which) that AVB is going to make a play for Leighton in January.

It's the Mirror on Sunday
