2017/18 Leighton Baines

[Nymzee]

When is Baines due back??

Whenever he finishes his Christmas shopping.

 

[FTY]

You haven't noticed we've been lumbered with Cuco at left back during one of our most difficult periods in years? Just coincidence though, because Baines is boss, he likes Arctic Monkeys and stuff.

I haven't no, go and check when Martina came into the team at left back

I'll save you be effort it's since we came out of the shocking period, Baines was in the side throughout

 

[Big Fat Sam]

I reckon Baines has a bad one seeing as there has simply been no mention of his injury whatsoever. Nothing. Like he just disappeared off the face of the earth.

Yes agree,very poor from the club keeping the fans in the dark as per usual!
Also can’t understand why Sam isn’t asked at his press conferences how long he’s likely to be out for

Also makes me think it's a bad one and that the press involved has probably been briefed on it and told not to report on it.

Sadly way past his best!

Happens to us all Joey.

Baines has been great for us. Probably better than great at certain points too. But time catches us all up and we need a new dead good left back that Baines can lash some wisdom onto.

Well considering that at his best he was 1 of the best LBs in world football, even at his worst hes the best in the league.

Ok let see how he copes when is back in then?

 

[evertonarntwe]

don't mean this to sound as bad as it does, but hopefully it is a bad injury JUST because it might force us to go and sign a left back

im not convinced with would if he was fit

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Baines with no sexual free kicks / penalties is merely a bog standard left back

That's been proven (with the free kicks at least) over the past few seasons

Time for the next gen

 

[Prevenger17]

Look at how they turn

How are you doing today Joey.

Joey, for a man who was complaining about ageism elsewhere on the forum, you seem a little keen to stick the boot in to an injured but very loyal servant of the club because you perceive him to be past it

There's an argument to suggest therefore that we improved when Baines was taken out the side, because he offers very little.
