Shukes Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 His interview makes a mockery of press talk as well. Transfer being held up as he waits to see who else comes in for him. Welcome to the greatest club in the world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I just watched his interview and I’m impressed. He speaks good English already and his appreciation of silva and the Premier league is palpable. Also he mentions that Everton reached out 2 months ago to his agent regarding the transfer so we’re not leaving it late and apparently it’s just taking some time to work things out Shukes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyblue23 Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Happy about this. Will be curious to see how Baines is used, but at least we all know he’ll be a consummate professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 3 hours ago, Haiku said: This lad is quality. I think he is happy to join us for this reason: He's sick and tired of Top clubs. Being a PSG and then Barcelona player comes with huge expectations and pressure. He's now looking to ease things with us and he's getting the same contract if not better. Possibly a backwards compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baines could end up leaving there as been talk of clubs interested in him Newcastle was one, he may believe and quite rightly that he has still a lot to offer and is not prepared to play second fiddle and ask for a move.

EFC-Paul Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 I can't see it Palfy he'll know better than us his legs aren't upto it for full season and many manager's now want pace and stamina If he left he'd likely end up not featuring as much as he'd like anyway it's a long slog markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financially wise, it is better for him to move if there's suitable club. One last 2-years contract with signing on fee bonus. Chances are very slim that he will get a good offer next summer if he sees out his contract with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 It will be pointless if Baines goes this window. Firstly lets not just accept that Digne will stroll into the first team. He needs to adapt to the league and Silva's tactics. We also dont know how his pre-season has gone and whether he is sharp enough. My guess is that Baines will start the season and then Digne will be gradually introduced. Newty82, Matt, pete0 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir McGiven Posted August 1, 2018 Report Share Posted August 1, 2018 Perfect addition on the paper, I hope it turns out a good one on the pitch too. Funny thing, in my Everton career save in FIFA 18 (where I play as Cenk, lol) he's been signed by Everton and plays perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't do that. Not everyone is driven by making the most money possible. He's earned enough to live comfortably and to enjoy his music and other hobbies. He's earned a great reputation here, and I'm sure he'll want to remain a Blue to the end of his career. Good luck to the man, whatever he chooses, because he's earned our respect.

Silva has stated the need for competion for places, LB is finally a position of real strength in depth for our club again this season.

Not everyone is driven by money some people as Baines are honest hard working footballers, if he still believes he has a couple of good years in him and wants to for fill them he won’t want to be 2nd choice or a bench warmer. And that’s based more on his own well being not many footballers want to be told when it’s time to be put out to graze they like to decide that for themselves , you make him sound like a geriatric who’s going to sit in his rocking chair with a blanket round him listening to music piped down his ears to keep him quiet.

Romey 1878 Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Just watched his interview for STH's and club members. He comes across very well and does genuinely seem to be happy to have signed for us. He seems a very happy person and will be a good member of our dressing room.

Matt Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Baines will get a 2 year extension offer at some point, similar to Jags did. Still a place for him here and I reckon he’ll retire before leaving. StevO, plaidharper and Shukes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
