scouse Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 If we did sell Baines and replaced him with a lb that ended up with the forward prowess of Tony Hibbert then we'd be relegated is that really worth 20-25 million quid? I dont fcuking think so. I still dont believe if we lost one player we would be relegated even if he played like Hibbo! The funds even if not the full funds would be used to plug the gap in goals/assists and buy a striker and/or midfielder with pace which you would hope would compensate for the loss of Baines. I still believe that if we got 20 mill plus Bridge and brought in nobody we would not be relegated, however I am sure that Moyes would stipulate that if that deal mentioned was on the table that he would have some if not all the funds to invest in the squad. We can agree to disagree on this one and as I keep reiterating I am not for minute saying lets sell, I am merely stating that if it did go ahead it would not be the doom and gloom that people are making out.

Romey 1878 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Moyes will not be getting all of the funds generated by selling players, Elstone has already said this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but he will get some if we brought in 20 mill he would get at least 10 mill IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we get Bridge and 20 mill thats the deal we are discussing, not 10 mill to replace him. As I have said I am not for the deal, but we need to raise money an manage our debt somehow and if this is what we have to do then so beit it would not lead to us being relegated is all I am saying.

Romey 1878 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I'm sorry but the thought of having Bridge as Baines' replacement makes me feel ill and that's the last I'm saying about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 baines has about 8 years left at the top level, bridge has not been a top level performer for about three years. to replace what baines gives us we need an up and coming left back and two wingers, all of proven quality. will not happen. on the other hand if baines comes out and says he wants to leave to further his career, he would have my best wishes. a play of his quality should not have to be stuck at a sell to buy club. im even upset that i wouldnt blame him for wanting to go if he did.

smeghead1 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Cant see Baines going to the rs as Spurs look like keeping them out of Europe. And also didnt he sign a new contract last year?

Still never going to happen though Yep then 25 for his other leg then we have to take into account his boots! Theres a lot of bad feeling between them and us even Neville gave Mancini a gobfull after the game at Goodison so with any luck Baines wont want to go there anyway!

Matt Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I don't think we'd turn down £25million tbh. I just dont see him leaving even if we did accept, which i dont think we will. Nearly half our goals went through him this season, god knows how many with Pienaar to link up with and thats worth more than the cash. At least, long term....

SimonButtle Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 if city do offer that sort of money, then we have to accept it really, its a big sum and i don't think any other club is going to make that sort of offer for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueboy122 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 To be honest if they came in with £20 million plus wayne bridge it would have to be accepted, wayne bridge is a really good player in my opinion and with him as the direct replacment and 20 million to spend what a great deal that could be, I would also say to leighton, we dont want to lose you however that offer is to good to turn down and go fill your boots at man city have a great retirement!

smeghead1 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Id haggle for 12 million plus Adam Johnson and Wayne Bridge and play the pair of them down the left. We then have money for a strike and can play Pip and Arteta/Coleman down the right. That said i love Leighton Baines and would also be delighted if he stayed.

Seriously? He has no real qualities for me He is slow as fuck and reads the game as well as Dave spells, I wouldn't want to sell Baines if I did it would be for a stupid amount of money and thats in today's overinflated market aswell. He's a core player who without this and the last couple of seasons we would have been fucked without, Thanks but no thanks you can keep the clingon.

GoodisonRoad Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 No way should we even contemplate selling Baines, he is such a key player for us and Bridge as a replacement would be a joke. We can gain the money we need from players who arent as important, such as Rodwell, Billy, Yak, yobo and Anichebe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 i think the only club willing to spend £25 million is City and i might be totally wrong but Baines doesnt seem the type of lad to go for the money because i imagine he must be on near 50 grand a week. If City come in and offer daft money and he wants to go he would go with my blessing. I wouldnt have wayne bridge anywhere near goodison. I seriously rate Boyette and would take him. Johnson would probably be in our wage bracket at the moment but i think he is destined for an Arsenal or Chelsea. Milner would be nice but on too much wages.So i'd take Boyette and £22 mill. Get Djalo, Gerviniho, Klose, Ba, and that Celtic left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Wenger has turned himself into a thrifty pensioner, years of needed penny pinching and getting class buys for a fraction of their worth has conditioned him to doing it on the cheap. Now with his super duper house he is trying to furnish it on the cheap. I used to like him, he's become a bit of a joke now, must be frustrating being a gooner, 4 class players off a team that could challenge barca if only he would spend cash.

What do you guys think? I wouldn't mind having two from Adebayor, Johnson, Boyata or Onuoha and we'd still have the extra cash to spend on some other players depending on who we get from them. Edit: Throw Kolarov into that list as well. Him plus Adebayor, spend the cash on N'Zogbia and I'd be a happy man.

c1982 Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Any swap deal would need to involve milner and/or a.johnson for it to be a good deal for us - the players that will be offered will be 2 from SWP/Bellamy/Bridge/Boyata/M.Johnson plus £10m or 1 from Santa Cruz/Jo/Onhuora plus £10m - I would be v.pissed off if it's either of the later scenario's but to be honest if we got a deal say Milner/Johnson plus Bellamy/Boyata/money then I would be tempted.
