Lowensda Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Can't see it myself. He'd be going from playing every week to sitting on the bench doing nothing. At his age he needs to be playing regularly. Could only consider a perm move but with an 18 months loan back. Only way we'd tempt him I reckon.

Romey 1878 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Could only consider a perm move but with an 18 months loan back. Only way we'd tempt him I reckon. They're linking him as a replacement for Oviedo so we'd not be thinking about loaning him back. We might be interested but not to have him as cover for Baines now.

Steve_E Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 He'd make sense if we really intend on playing Baines in a holding role next season. Otherwise I don't really see the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kant Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 He'd make sense if we really intend on playing Baines in a holding role next season. Otherwise I don't really see the point. Scout and sign talent, then it will sort itself out. Injuries, versatiliy, Baines ageing (potential long term replacement), Baines still able to perform and teach him a thing or two about how to become a great LB in the PL... I would hate it if Martinez does not sign the best young players available identified by the scout team because the team has the position already covered.

Lowensda Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I just cant see us buying another LB. Baines - Starting Oviedo - Cover Garbutt - Coming through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zequist Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 I just cant see us buying another LB. Baines - Starting Oviedo - Cover Garbutt - Coming through Robertson - buy now while he's still easily affordable and loan him out for a year or two. When Baines passes his peak in a couple of years, sell him for more than he's worth to whatever third-rate club David Moyes is managing by then, Oviedo takes over as the starter, and whichever of Garbutt or Robertson has shown more ability becomes his cover. Competition for positions is always good, and a smartly run club shouldn't pass up on genuine talent (especially affordable talent) just because they think they have "enough" players at a position already. Promising careers get derailed by injuries (remember when we thought James Vaughn had a bright future here?), youngsters who flash early potential peak too soon and never fully develop, other clubs come in and unsettle the starters, and suddenly a position you thought was deep dries up and you're left thinking "why didn't they buy that guy back when he cost 500,000 instead of 5 million?" Or to put it another way, where would we be right now if Moyes had passed on the chance to buy Coleman back in 2008-09 because he already had Hibbert and Lars Jacobsen in the squad at right back, and Dan Gosling waiting in the pipeline? Hibbert was younger at the time than Baines is now, and Jacobsen was a full international just like Oviedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenosetoffee Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Like everyone else has said I don't think we need a LB in this transfer window. Baines, Oviedo and Garbutt and if need be Distin has played on the left before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 The only worry I have is that if he is such a prospect then even though we're not in need for another Lb, wouldn't it be good business to snap him up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
