nazza06 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Wallcott was worth 12 million like.. Bale is very overated imo..decent player but nowhere near 10 million.. Baines will be a fantastic signing for us, just what we need and can both defened and attack.. The competition between Babsy and Baines would be an interesting situation.

I think he might also look to bring in an older experienced left back on the cheap, or maybe a cheap one from a league or two down at a decent age.

Guest Triglett Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Wigan were being complete cunts about Chimbonda's price tag - £5m, never gonna happen. I'd say at least £7-8m, especially with the prices being bandied about for other players, Bale being one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Difference is here, Wigan are in the shitter now. They were in a strong position last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Triglett Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 They're still in the Premiership. Don't think their stance on Baines is any different to what it would have been if they'd finished in the top 10. Everyone's richer now, anyhoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or some other second string left back, but it certainly won't be Babayaro! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I have seen Bale for Wales a few time and whilst he is a very good prospect I don't think he is as good as Baines at the moment. I'd be very happy getting in Baines for £5 million he is the right age, he is proven in the Premiership and he has a good head on his shoulders for 1 so young!

KaKa Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Baines wants to leave, and Jewell has left already. The new manager has already been promised funds so I think as he is already looking to put together his own team he will not be adverse to letting Baines move on. I don't think they will be difficult about it at all. £5 million seems fair. Isn't that how much tottenham ended up paying for Chimbonda? And he was in the preiership team of the year!

Tisd09 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 As Kaka said they sold Chimbinda for £6 million and Baines is probably not rated as good as him so £5 million seems reasonable, it just depends if he gets the old English Inflation added to his price.

Guest Guinness Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Would love to see Baines here, hopefully this takeover happens as soon as possible so Big Sam can start spending some money! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hes not a Chelsea or other CL elite reject either, which itself is a plus point (ie stepping up the ladder, not down) but also means he wont therefore be demanding unreasonable wages which would be the case with the likes of Bridge. Well worth up to 6mill for me, ticks practically every box that we need. Although his form this season hasnt been as good as last, the ability/mentality to be a good Premiership fullback is unquestionably there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Would be a similar start to how the Roman Revolution started with Bridge as one of the early buys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sam04je Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Looks like im the only one that would prefer bale then, but 10millions too much. If Baines id going for 5million, bargain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Looks like im the only one that would prefer bale then, but 10millions too much. If Baines id going for 5million, bargain. Well given that Baines is proven in the premiership I think its obvious why people would opt for him over Bale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 He's my first choice LB. Stone me, we appoint my first choice manager, FS who I want out looks like he's on his way, the Halls have fucked off... I'm expecting to wake up any moment. Would be a fantastic signing, very good and underrated player. You'll still find something to whinge about Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunedin Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 If he is genuinely available I wouldn't hesitate. Get him. A cheap back up would be Murphy from Hibs. The only downside for him is that is an ex-Smoggie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I wouldn't call Baines solid, he certainly has to work on the defensive side of his game, but he is probably the best we can get and most importantly is player with a lot of potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon_Crazy Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Would be a great signing!!! Very solid defender, if we could get him and Ben Haim we would only need a right back and we would have a good back four!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Would be a great signing!!! Very solid defender, if we could get him and Ben Haim we would only need a right back and we would have a good back four!! Just no back up! Ben Haim and Baines would be a great couple of players to get in, but we could do with sacking off Baba and Carr and getting in 4 fullbacks and we still really need 3 CB's.

Sparks Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Slighly suprised to see most people calling him a solid defender on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Considering the animosity Whelan has for Ashley I can't see us signing any Wigan players unless through the nose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
