Hmm 1 turned down a lucrative move to United in his prime out of loyalty to the club, the other screwed the club out of £20m to get a cheaper move 6 months later

He didn't turn it down. That's a myth. Martinez blocked it because he wanted him. Baines never forgave him for that...seeing Fellaini go and he had to stay.

ROBERTO MARTINEZ has warned Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini that the “grass is not always greener” after rejecting an improved £36million bid for the duo from Manchester United.

ROBERTO MARTINEZ has warned Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini that the “grass is not always greener” after rejecting an improved £36million bid for the duo from Manchester United.
“Every time you have a good player you’re going to expect to lose him because they think that the grass is always greener elsewhere,” said Martinez. "Has Leighton ever said he wants to go to United? No. But whatever the players say in a different situation or environment could change. All I can tell you is that Leighton is an Evertonian and very thankful for the opportunity Everton gave him."

Basically, Roberto blocked Moyes from doing what he'd no doubt told Baines when leaving: "I'll be back for you". And when Everton didn't cave in he started talking about RM and Everton stopping Baines and Fellaini fulfilling their potential.

And so Baines has earned close to £40 million during his time here. So, Dave, either Roberto made a huge mistake and Baines was exactly right or Martinez was correct to keep Baines here. Which is it?

Your arguments are about as thin as the paper the contracts are written on.

£40M paid out to a no mark.

I bet the players of the 80s look at a phoney like Baines and are spitting blood.
