![[Picture] Baines Set For £15 Million United Move In January](https://cdn.redflagflyinghigh.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screen-Shot-2013-10-27-at-01.32.03.png)
The Everton Left Back Could Be On His Way To Old Trafford David Moyes pursuit of Leighton Baines could finally reach an end in January with the Sunday Express reporting that the United boss is set to launch a £15 million bid in January that could be enough to tempt the Toffees.
Baines will be 29 years old by the time the January transfer window comes around and with Everton always somewhat pressed for cash, there’s every chance a bid of such a size would be enough to tempt them. Patrice Evra is obviously nearing the end of his career and despite suggestions he wanted to move at the end of the season, he’s been quick to say it’s a misunderstanding and he’s happy to stay.
The most confusing aspect of United’s pursuit of Baines is that at 29, he hardly represents a much longer term option and could in fact be something of a step down from Evra, who has lots of Champions League experience, is a popular figure in the dressing room and one of the club’s greatest ever full backs.
Moyes has already had is fingers burnt somewhat with the signing of Marouane Fellaini after he ended up paying more than the Belgian’s buy-out clause due to leaving it till the last minute. Returning to his old club to spend a lot of money on a player who may not improve the starting XI is a gamble by the new manager. Baines is a decent defender going forward but can be found wanting in defence at times, even more so than his French counterpart.
Watch this space……
Do United need Baines? Feel free to share your thoughts below:
Ship out summer signing belgium bighead felaini- he would hv cost only 10, not 27.5……
Bog money, playing with 5 millions…..
We dnt like 2 c him in traford dress…
Baines is world class but won’t go to United, better off staying at Everton.
Baines has no experience than evra. So let him stay at everton.
per now evra can do and he can even pen down anew contract. we just want a central defender to help evans and a passing middlefilleder.
In your dreams for 15m! Baines won’t sign new contract, but he still has plenty of time left on his current deal. He won’t ask for a transfer either, proving his professionalism in the last transfer window. So that leaves Man United having to deal with a club notoriously difficult to deal with if your after a cheap deal! Everton don’t need to sell, so it has to be an offer that suits them. It will take more than 20m to capture him and if only 15m comes, then a player will have to be included in the deal.
I will put my mortgage on the fact that if Baines does sign for United, he will go for A LOT MORE THAN 15m! Absolute joke of an article!
we want him at old trafford now
baines wil be a gud buy bt dnt wait til die minute 2 buy him as it happened with fellani
Instead of baines utd should go for luke shaw he has many yrs left on his career or contrao.he should go for long term players not players nearing the end of their careers.
Yea,I think he’s good.He has nice and accurate passes,also comes good in free kicks.
Will dnt need letf back bac’s will hav theer letf back
