@davek. Dave I certainly thought that he was leaving and I didn't think it would have been an enormous loss. I agree with you that there were times when he would have been better off keeping his mouth shut.
However, he is a young English product of our academy and I am glad he is staying.
It would have been a very difficult decision for him as he simply cannot afford to be sitting on an Everton bench for two or three seasons. He needs to play.
If there are get out clauses in his contract relating to non playing then that is understandable.
He obviously believes in his own ability , he is the current England under 21 left back so me must be in consideration at international level. He now needs to prove in domestic football that he is good enough.
But still a very positive result for the club.
I wonder where he is going on loan? Now Bournemouth have signed Mings I can't see him going there
If he goes on loan we need a early chance of recall, with the injury problems we have had there! imo Baines was playing not 100% fit at times!I've heard Mings will be a left sided CB more than a LB so there's still a chance he'll end up there.

No club would agree to that if its a prem side he goes too. Plus im more than comfortable with Baines, oviedo and Galloway if needs be, even barry has played there plenty of timesIf he goes on loan we need a early chance of recall, with the injury problems we have had there! imo Baines was playing not 100% fit at times!
Barry are you having a laugh he couldn't catch a cold never mind a fast winger!No club would agree to that if its a prem side he goes too. Plus im more than comfortable with Baines, oviedo and Galloway if needs be, even barry has played there plenty of times
Well we'll just have to go with the other 3 thenBarry are you having a laugh he couldn't catch a cold never mind a fast winger!

Spot on.A player should earn his games, a manager hand shouldnt be forced to give game time to satisfy a clause in a contract.
We'd be defensively sound as long as the opposition doesn't notice that we've got no right side.No mate, every club in the league should have 4 LBs.
