2019/20 Leighton Baines.

[Goat]

I mean, we’d still have Gibson like

Would Gibson, who is a CB, not benefit more from going on loan for 12months rather than wasting his career on the bench?

 

[Coggy]

He was tactically superiot to any manager we've had barring Kendall imo.

If he'd had the cash that Koeman and Silva had he'd have had us competing.

He had more money than Moyes , who did better than him , with worse players. Explanation please

I’d keep Baines, but it’s not like we don’t have younger lads who could step in if Digne got hurt

Well we don’t really do we Mikey? We don’t even have a Brendan Galloway type

If he was tactically superior he’d have had us up there regardless of money spent.

Howard Kendall didn’t have a king’s ransom and he won things.

The man spent £13m on Niasse so I question his transfer market acumen.

STOP FEEDING THE TROLL!!!

I don’t give a crap about Bobby Brownshoes and his lack of defensive nous

This is a thread about Baines

If you all want to discuss Martinez can you please sod off and do it in the appropriate thread so the rest of us can chat Bainesy

Baines has played 5/6 times this season, I personally would rather those younger lads were away getting 40 games a season and showing their worth.

Of course we have to keep some around as back up, but young players need games.

Gibson can play LB

AGAIn, I’d keep Baines, but it’s not a desperate necessity to do so

 

[davek]

I reckon you are way off with 35m.

70,000x52x13= 47m

Astounding.

£47M for a no mark.

Club legends who actually won stuff got about 10 bob.

 

[davek]

That no mark has won an FA Cup.

Like ya boy Bobby.

He missed the two biggest games in that cup run: the SF completely and the final he played 35 minutes and did f.a.

 

[davek]

He absolutely was to be fair to him. Right up until that tactic got well and truly found out

The players got found out.

Barely more than Moyes.

You can see the way he gets Belgium playing as a team rather than a collection of individuals that he knows his stuff.

He took an ale house team like Wigan and beat a good Everton team and then City the best team in the country in the cup.

There's no denying he's astute.

See I get the logic and do agree mostly, but on the other view, its a fairly expensive back up isn't it? I imaigne the plan is that A. Digne isn't very injury prone, yes ANYONE can get a bad injury but generally he is there each game, and that its unlikely that the new young lad will be called upon too early.
