Baines signs for Everton

[Dave]

if the jose enrique stuff is true (admittedly it seems a little cold now) would it mean the baines thing was iffy to start with.

 

 

i think the left back saga has a while to go yet,maybe even till the middle of next week!

 

Cold? Saturday brought an interview with the player himself confirming he's coming for a medical.

But where's the hour long press conference from Allardyce confirming that they've reached an agreement over Enrique and also named his other 2/3 targets?

[KaKa]

Do Everton not have Fernandes anymore then? They didn't make the move permanent?

So you have no frame of reference here. You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know...

[Scribble]

Were you listening to The Dude's story, Donny?

 

[James]

Both Newcastle and Everton have had bids accepted for Baines and he is holding talks with both clubs according to skysports.com

Sounds like nonesense to me.  Why would we go after Baines when we've almost completed the transfers of Dragutinovic and Enrique?  We have our top class experienced left back and top class young left back sorted right there.  There's no need for Baines..

 

352?

 

What? The 3 part of that all left-backs?

 

Two left backs (DLC and WBL), with one more as backup.

[Skirge]

Baines talking to us and Everton, at least the lad is giving us a shot at bringing him here.

[Teasy]

Very old news or a new story since the Times article Skirge?  I'm still of the opinion its nonesense and the Times article seems to back that up by not even mentioning us at all.

[Elephant]

Valencia after him too so fingers crossed he goes to them or Juventus.

 

Valencia are not after him anymore, they don't want him because of his involvement with MSI.

Skysports.com understands Wigan ace Leighton Baines is in talks with Everton and Newcastle.

 

Wigan have given permission to Baines to talk to both clubs after they accepted undisclosed bids from their Premiership rivals for the talented full-back.

 

The Latics have reluctantly agreed to let Baines move as they look to get their squad in place for the start of the new season next weekend.

 

Baines has attracted the interest of a host of clubs with Sunderland failing to persuade him to move to the Stadium of Light after having a fee accepted for his services last month.

 

Everton are in the market for a new left-back with Joleon Lescott being played out of position in the role last season.

 

Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce admitted on Friday that he could make a move for Baines as he looks to reshape his defensive options at St James' Park.

 

Baines is set to meet both clubs to discuss a possible move and the defender is expected to make a decision on his future over the weekend.

 

It is believed Everton are favourites to land Baines ahead of Newcastle because the player is keen to stay in the North West.

Alan Irvine pretty much confirms it:

 

Alan Irvine has confirmed that Everton are hopeful of securing Leighton Baines.

 

Speaking after the Blues drew 0-0 at Crystal Palace on Saturday, Irvine stressed that although the deal was by no means complete the move for the highly-rated Wigan defender was ‘nearly there'.

 

"We are at least part of the way down the road," he said.

 

"But with the demands made by everyone these days I will only believe it is going to happen when it actually does happen.  We have been talking to Leighton and hopefully sorting things out with him."

 

In the post-match press conference at Selhurst Park, Irvine was asked whether or not he considered the rumoured transfer fee of £6m to be slightly excessive for a full-back.

 

The Everton assistant manager refuted that suggestion emphatically.

 

"When you look at the prices that are going around these days then £6m is not a great deal of money," he said.

 

"Leighton has got real potential to play for his country. Anyone who saw him in the European Under-21 Championships would have been impressed with him.

 

"He is a good footballer, a nice passer of the ball, he has loads of energy and he is quick so there are lots of reasons for wanting to sign a player like him."

[Cajun]

We don't care no more we have the greatest left back ever, probably although none of us have seen him.

 

 

So ner!

Aye, but you do know we are also in talks with him don't you?
