    i have no problem with him staying, as long as it is realised (by the people that matter) that he is not the answer to any midfield problems we have. If he could ever maintain fitness he could be a very useful squad played for us - but at this stage I don't see him being the player we need.

    personally ive had it with him,we have seen brief glimpses of what he is capable of but not enough in my eyes,i suppose it really depends on how much saf has to spend and if he thinks midfield is a problem area,a lot also depends on whether he buys another striker with berba and owen more than likely moving on,also if fabio is being loaned out then surely he is not going to only have evans as cover(fryers yet to sign) so money will have to be spent there also,looking forward to summer transfers but nervous aswell.

    The Mirror are reporting we are gonna be in for Baines at the end of the season. I would love that personally. Very good player.

    I am a big fan of Baines but I would prefer if someone gave Evra a kick up the ar$e, he is one of the best left backs in the world, when at his best but for the past couple of seasons he is getting more and more lazy with his defending. Get him back to the top of his game for next season, then by the following season Fabio will be ready to take over after a loan spell next season.

    They are reporting that the deal could be done for 5million so i'm calling bs on the entire story.

    Would be over the moon if we got him for that, but there is absolutely no freaking way.

    I reckon Evra will be starting LB next year again with Fabio gone, and De Laet and Fryers will cover early cup games

    Definitely. Gibson is a good luck charm like no other in the world. He hasn't lost a league game in over two years. It helps I suppose that he doesn't play a lot but I think it still counts for around 26 games.

    His record this season is 5 wins and 4 draws. They've actually lost 2 games without him, although they were against Liverpool and Arsenal.

    Pretty remarkable achievement when you consider it took Bale 24 games to actually be on the winning side in the league.

    As long as Gibbo isn't playing tomorrow we should be ok for the win :pac:.

    I would be extremely disappointed if that is the situation on September 1st next season.

    Unsure about Fryers' potential but De Laet is nowhere near good enough, and won't be.

    Evans is quite an accomplished left back too. He may be shunted out there for a while when Vidic is back.

    I don't, I'd rather see Fabio staying and starting with Evra as back up but I can't see them spending anything on a position that we already have so much depth at. Baines would be great but it would probably cost us a lot more than 5 million

    Baines on set pieces would be unreal,the guy is lethal from outside the box,a free kick is nearly as good as a penalty with him on the field.
    If we could get him for the rumoured £5 million,I'd take him in a heartbeat.

    Evra has been on the decline for the past 2 years. Baines is a far better player and in his peak. i hope to god utd dont sign him because he would be a graet signing.

    Baines is a fantastic player, worst case scenario, Evra forced to up his game in order to keep his place in the team, if the reported £5m is anywhere close to the mark, it's an absolute no-brainer.

    The fact that Everton lack funds, they might have no choice to let him go for £5 million. That'd be fantastic business for us or any team that gets him. Although he still has something like 3 years left on his contract so it's not like Everton will lose him if they don't want to sell and can probably push for a higher fee.

    Baines for £5 million and a year long loan of Fabio would be a good deal I would think. Fabio will get his game in the Premiership and it will give Everton time to find another left back for the following season.

    Although it sounds like Fergie wants to groom Fabio for being our first choice LB and Baines coming in would be counter productive to that when Fabio comes back.


  • #2829

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,750 ✭✭✭redzerdrog


    Also unless Baines is in the last year of his contract there isnt a hope he will go for £5mil, I'd say it would take at least double that.

    IMO, the solution to all of this is to loan Jeremy Mathieu for a year. Valencia LB/LW.

    Not only would he be able to play ahead of Evra at LB, but he could also be the 'Valencia of the left', if a more traditional left winger is needed for a game. And with Fabio returning after a year of regular football, his prescence ahead of Fabio's won't be there to stop him taking over the first team reigns.

    He has an incisive cross, which is a criticism I've heard of Evra.

    Evra couldn't cross a t.

    He's infuriating, surely luck would mean he'd get one or two decent crosses in a year but no.


    U.N.I.T.E.D. uniittteeeddd are the team for me


    C'mon.

    His cross to Scholesy for the derby winner two years ago wasn't half bad...

    But yeah, he's crossing leaves a lot to be desired. Should have far more assists to his name.

    At 4-2 it should have been a case of keep ball but we couldn't.

    Fellaini was immense, incredible performance from him.

    At this stage of the season, with the importance of each game and each point, to let a 2 goal lead slip after being 3-1 and 4-2 up is nothing short of a disgrace.

    That is not what Champions do and they better get their ****ing heads out of their arse cause we now need a big performance and result next Monday.

    Surprised that Fergie didn't use subs till they scored 4th goal. When we were 4-2 up, could have added one more in the midfield and control the possession.

    Welbeck, Nani were superb, rest all were okish. Hutton assisted 2 goals and it was beyond joke how much space and time he got to cross the ball.

    Also very surprising to see Valencia playing so many mins when he was poor today. Nani was anyways playing as RW, should have brought on Young, he would have provided better cover defensively.
