He is obviously having doubts otherwise why sign the short term deal when there is already a longer term deal on the table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 That’s my worry too Dunc. With Garbutt (Less of an issue) and Baines potentially not signing, we have no 2nd LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Just me that doesn't understand what the fuss is about? He's played what, four games this season yet is if he doesn't sign this suddenly becomes a massive problem? Lucas Digne is the undisputed left-back at Everton, if Leighton was to leave then all we would need to do would be to purchase/loan someone to fill the void in case Lucas was injured. Don't get me wrong, Baines is one of my favourites and it'd be sad to see him go but I can't understand the mass panic that this has caused. If he stays, brilliant. If he leaves then we look at cheap options to fill in the "bench warming, come on in the 94th minute if needed position". Personally, I think it comes down to what Leighton wants to do at this stage of his life. If I remember rightly he said that he wasn't that into football, it's just that he's really good at it and made it into a career. His passion is in music and he's best mates with Miles Kane, he could quite literally turn down the contract so that he can play on his guitar more.

Shukes Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 It’s just because people feel we won’t be making a lot of signings, and when we do... they need to be in other areas first as priority. Having Baines as back up for another year gives us time to strengthen that position and focus on other areas where we really lack, like centre mid.

Sentiment aside , Baines has proved he can still step in and produce top class performances and is without doubt the best back up LB in the Premier League but if FFP is limiting how quickly we can rebuild losing him just slows the process further If we want to progress we need real competition for every position , not just someone who could Plug a gap, and for me Baines still provides that Bailey, markjazzbassist and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it has been reported in most places as around 29 million a year so I think it’s been rounded up by media. I can’t hold onto anything! Everton have not released the financial terms, but it is understood to be similar to the previous arrangement which was worth around £9.6 million a year.

If I remember rightly NTL also sponsored Celtic and Rangers that season, and the Old Firm have often shared shirt sponsors (Carling and Tennants spring to mind).

barryj Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Daughter’s birthday today and got the normal generic e-card.
