10M is too much.

Well it depends what the financial arrangements are. If it is a case of the owners giving Comolli a pot of money and leaving him to find as many players as we need but within that budget, and spending 10 million on Baines would mean we would have to go cheaper on other signings then yes, it is too much.

if that is not the arrangement, and spending 10 million on Baines does not have knock on affects elsewhere then I think it would be a good signing.
 
I'm afraid I don't, not at that price. Magic's defending has been hammered on here, justifiably at times, but Baines' is worse. He has a sweet left-foot cross on him, but if we get good attacking wide players in the summer that'll be no more than a luxury. I'd only really want Baines if we don't get a good LW/LM, and even then not at £10 mill.

Yeah, and given that it's Everton we'd probably end up paying more than that. Moyes would claim that our offer of 8m was insulting and offensive, and would demand 18m for a 'world-class player' or some such shit. It's just not worth the difficulties it would cause.
 
Everton will not allow Leighton Baines to join Liverpool under any circumstances.

Kenny Dalglish is said to be ready to make a move for the left-back in the summer and is willing to pay around £10m.

Baines, who was part of Fabio Capello's provisional World Cup squad last summer, moved to Everton for around £6m in 2007 and has gone on to become one of the club's most indispensible players.

He was rewarded with a new contract in 2010 and has a deal at Goodison Park until 2015.

There are no plans to extend that further despite rumours of Liverpool's interest but sources at Goodison Park have told talkSPORT that Baines, 26, will definitely not move to Everton's bitter rivals and that any approach will be blocked.

Bayern Munich wanted Baines in the summer but Everton refused to negotiate with the Bundesliga giants and the indications are that the England international is eager to honour his current contract.
 
I'd be amazed if he were to switch allegiances to Liverpool.

His personal life would become very difficult, and therefore it probably wouldn't be worth the hassle.

I can't believe Leighton Baines is the name of a white guy.

Speak for yourself !

My late, slightly racist grandmother was called Anita, so I was stupidly surprised to find a young(ish), Asian lady sharing her name on here.

Lol

And come on guys Leighton Baines is so the name of a black guy
[/quote]

No. It isn't.
 
I stand by my position.

Although I do also accept that Anita isn't the name of a super cool, young(ish) south Asian chick. Who is super cool, did I mention that?
 
You may be "super cool" but there's no way you're telling me, a, ya know, BLACK GUY, that Leighton Baines *sounds* like a black guy's name.

I understand where you're coming from but you're off base with this one.

*smh in a jovial manner*
 
According to Jan Molby we already have a deal lined up for Jose Enrique.

And Charlie Adam.

Reminds me of a story I heard Reginald D.Hunter tell on "Never Mind The Buzzcocks" once, about when Boris Yeltsin died. He apparently mentioned this during a phone call home:

"Hey, Poppa, did you hear, Yeltsin died!"

"Oh no! Man, I gotta tell yo' mama. Hey Mama, Yeltsin died!"

"Oh no! Boris Yeltsin?"

"No, Leroy Yeltsin, who'd ya think?"

Now that's a name that's so white it has that weird unhealthy looking bluish tinge about it.

Competing for Europe's best aren't we?
 
The singer in my friends Nan's pub is called Leighton Buzzard and he is black, also a dealer my mate used to use was called Leighton and was also black, if these examples help Anita to play devils advocate.
