Dan, and the other Toffees, I've just heard Baines could be off to Stoke. They've had a bid accepted and now it's up to the player whether to move or not. What do you make of that? Haven't seen him regularly for a while now but have always thought he was a good player.
That's a cracker!!!.....
Firstly, do Stoke have £20million to spunk on a full back??
Secondly, Baines is better than Stoke (no disrespect to them, but they are just the next Bolton, once Pulis goes, they will sink again, similar to how Bolton have after Big Sam's departure).....If he is to go in January, he will end up at a bigger and better club than Stoke.
Finally, why would Everton accept a bid now, with the window still about 4 weeks away??.....If (and its a big if) they do sell, they will rightly turn it into an auction, as there are quite a few big clubs out there who would love Baines in their squad....(Hello Mr Redknapp and his obsession with spending for spending's sake... )
