Maybe as a set of fans we don't deserve great players if this is the sort of bollocks people think as soon as people get complacent about them..

I agree with the funky gibbon.
He's just back from injury, but, previous to that he was plainly under instructions not to bomb forward as much.
Heh, he even beat the first man on a couple of corners yesterday.
Baines in for me.
Sell Baines ?
Same as Coleman. Yet the 2 of them are getting stick for not being as effective this season.
He turned down Bayern Munich and United to stay at Everton ffs. Not a chance we should sell him.

To be fair to the OP, if Baines wanted to go, then we'd get a whole load of cash for him then fair enough, we have two able deputies.
But, he plainly doesn't want to go, he loves the club and is a cracking left back. Selling him would be crazy. I'm not convinced about playing Oviedo further forward so, if he have to recycle the squad to strengthen in other areas then it makes sense to sell either Oviedo or Garbutt at some time.
Plainly with Garbutt's contract running out selling him isn't an option right now. In an ideal world, we get the lad signed up for a new contract and review the situation in 12 months, at which point we either sell Oviedo or Garbutt, or maybe this fantasy football of Baines moving inside as a defensive midfielder takes root, but I'm not convinced about that either
Basically the only thing I'm convinced about is that we shouldn't sell Baines.
Ignoring the fact that he is still our best left back (despite popular opinion Garbutt is only our 3rd best), given the loyalty Baines has shown us over the years, he deserves to be able to see out his playing days here at goodison in a reasonable capacity, and if that means loosing Garbutt then it is worth it.

How is it? That's the attitude that has us stuck with the likes of Hibbert on the wage bill. Football's ruthless, if a player isn't performing then they need to be moved on.

The ignore feature is superb on this forum, sometimes I miss whole threads, but then suddenly they just pop out when im least expecting it and make me sad.
This thread makes me very sad.
Leighton Baines is a superb left back, he showed loyalty to us and how do we repay that loyalty, with threads asking should we sell him, why? Hes still 1 of the best full backs in the league and we should sell him cos he no longer takes penos?
Christ sake.
I despair at our fanbase, I really do.
