Leighton Baines

[Big Fat Sam]

Galloway isn't a left back and absolutely kills most of our attacks (and yes, I know he did an ace cross for Naismith v Chelsea). The sooner Baines is back and starting, the better. Galloway has had invaluable experience, can go out on loan if necessary and become a better player for it.

....didn't realise he is in the last year of his contract. Now that is interesting. I'd be amazed if the club aren't looking to tie him down with a new offer but the fact that hasn't happened could become an issue.

Still have until summer 2017, think we'll come to some arrangement once the club are certain his ankle has healed.

....he's not reliant on speed or athleticism so there are probably a few mercurial years left in him.

Hope so, one of my favourite players at the club, both on and off the pitch.

...he's super talented. He makes the difficult look simple, not least when he appears to be in a cul de sac and still has the time, composure and class to pick a pass. Very good players are on the same wavelength and he's a very good player.

Best LB in the league

Article on front claims lots of people are wanting Galloway to stay first choice. Is that true? I mean there is always one ... but are people in significant numbers actually saying that? Don't get me wrong -- he's done very well -- but c'mon ... this is Baines FFS.

It's easy. When Leighton is match fit and ready he goes straight into the team. Galloway has filled in admirably and should be first choice reserve if there are any injuries to Stones/Funes Mori/Baines. Simple as that.

God I hope not.

Personally I'd never play him again for the atrocities he's committed in regards to hair cuts.

I think people have in the back of their minds Baines' age, and debating whether losing speed in his position will be relevant.

Personally I think LB is still first choice LB, Galloway is looking to be blooded in both CH and LB roles, so very good squad player and very much looking like future first-teamer.

tbh for the Villa game I think it less a question of which left back will do a better job than which of them will be physically fit enough to even start.

Baines is a LB no way is he a CM never mind what RM thinks or likes. Baines would not be good in that position. It would seem in view of all this talk from RM, Garbutt is out. There will be no place for him back here.

The naughtiest left back round town

People talk about the accelerated fitness programme for Baines, is it not just using the spare time best for those who need match fitness the most; Baines, Cleverley, Osman, Lennon and loads of players who I am not sure about, Gibson, Oviedo, Pienaar, McGeady as well as youngsters.
