2017/18 Leighton Baines

[Ollie d]

Lets get Baines mark II, Ricardo Rodriguez...

 

[BlueToff]

I think your opinions of them two players is blinkered by their past. There is no point in keeping two high earners around who aren’t good enough. It makes zero sense. Free transfers for them two, Rooney, Martina and Williams.

It's not at all.

I'm simply not advocating the sale of either Jagielka or Baines over the sales of Martina, Williams and Funes.

And as the last thing we need is half a defence all settling in to a new club at once, I'd rather have Jagielka and Baines as the back up options and put the money towards a top quality CB and top quality LB.

He's really not all that.

Gone off the boil massively in the last few years.

I'm no student of the European market these days so I'll take your word on it. But always looked a class act previously.

Good luck baines! Another sad day as you never lifted a cup with us. The clubs fault not yours!

 

[buskwhi2]

Good news.

Get rid of of Jagielka to some MLS team, too.

I’m hoping Sheff Utd might want him back

Love Baines. I'd rather keep him as back-up and experience, but if he goes I wish him good luck and many thanks for the service down the years.
Bet he'd get homesick though.

Apart from the cup semi where the players pretty much went on strike whilst on the pitch....

Allegedly of course.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Please don't leave. I dont want one injury and Cuco to be back. Please no.

They’re on huge wages and are not good enough to be starting and miss huge chunks of the season because they can’t recover from injuries. It makes no sense to be keeping them on. None at all.

Sentimentality is the only way they stay beyond this season and that is something I hope Brands will rid us of.

Once they were great, now they’re two failed leeches on the club’s wage bill who are trying to milk the club for all its worth thinking they can carry on picking up big wages on their names alone.

He wouldn’t go. He’s got it too comfortable here. Blue Bill will probably give him another deal.

 

[Neiler]

Wouldn’t begrudge him a move if it’s a top deal for the lad, big wedge for more years.

But be gutted if he goes, still has loads to offer, next season certainly, thought he was great in the last six games last season.

 

[Papa Shango]

We are allowed to buy other players if he goes!

 

[TippEverton]

Amazed a story from that state of a publication has received so many responses as if it's a done deal.

Which semi? Not fa cup one if i can recall....
