Leighton Baines

[Robert Jarvis]

Buenos Noches.

 

[Jamo Martinez]

A few posts mention his crossing isn't first rate. Have you watched Wright-Phillips, Aaron Lennon or Stewart Downing. All England internationals and all wingers. I would imagine they work on their crossing a lot more than a full back does. They also get into positions to cross during games far more than the most attacking full back does. Especially the first two due to their pace and ability.
Baines crossing is fine in my opinion. Sure I'd like every cross to go to Saha, Cahill or Fellaini, but you've got to be realistic

We may have in Coleman

I certainly hope so, but he will need at least another full season to mature a bit.

He would have been ready if Moyes plays him more often than not.

Cashley Cole is out for three months with a broken ankle:

With Bridge thinking of not playing in a side with Terry it looks like the doors have just opened for Baines!

vote for bainesy for England left back

 

[Neiler]

Think Coles injury may see Lescott on the plain more then Leigthon unfortunately.

 

[EFC Si]

sorry but Baines is a much better player than Bridge

He gets my vote, he's better than Bridge. Lescott's only got 2% of the vote - brilliant!

CASHLEY OUT!!!

Ashley Cole is out for 3 months according to reports, is this Bainsey's chance, would you put him ahead of Wayne "my bird likes JT" Bridge? I certainly would, imo he's the best left back in the country after Cashley if not before he's been our most consistent player this season and worthy of a call up. LEIGHTON FOR ENGLAND!!!!!!

Baines has been on top form recently, needs to go to SA!

 

[TX Bill]

Baines needs to get a good look by Fabio.

 

[kenada_blue]

If he was in capellos radar he'd be in the squad more than once.

Warnock, bridge and lescott will be higher in the peckng order.

 

[best little spaniard]

Capello is a ****. He comes out with [Poor language removed] about giving in form players a chance, then giving caps out to the like of Wayne Bridge.
