Baines could have a good 4-5 years left.
Hope he has life insurance

Good to see your taking it how it was meant lynk
(He's definitely not.)
Still not at all bothered that we didn't get him. Evra is underrated amongst United supporters who take his assets for granted and only see his flaws. We need someone to be his replacement one day, but he's more than good enough to be a top European club's first choice LB now, so I'd rather we go for someone a bit younger than Baines. Fabio is perfectly good back-up for now.
It's ridiculous that he's not England's first choice left back.
Baines wouldn't get to take those freekicks at United anyhow.
I'm not bothered and even a little happy that Baines wasn't signed. Evra is still the dog's bollocks for me.
Remind me how many free-kicks we've scored from that side over the last few years?
Baines is a better free-kick taker than van Persie is.

Well it kind of does... He makes four feck ups a season which lead to opponents scoring but scores 4 goals from freekicks makes it equal... Math is a great thing..Baines is a mediocre defender, scoring 4 good freekicks a season doesn't compensate.
If Baines had people like RVP/Rooney/Hernandez getting on the end of his crosses he would be an assist machine. I expect him to get quite a few with Lukaku in the side.
If you compare his crossing ability to that of Evra's there is no contest.
Quiet, you. Can't you see the man is trying to make a completely irrelevant, baseless point about United's set pieces?!It's not just the set pieces, it's the crosses he puts into the box from open play I am talking about.
I wonder was the idea to play him and Evra, with Evra as a winger, we joked about it before, but it wouldn't be an awful setup, better than Evra behind Young at least, and apparently was also the plan they had with Coentrao.
Evra himself getting on the end of Baines crosses would have been sweet.
English football fans must be the most stupid fans in the world, how can a defensive player be so highly rated for everything other than actual defensive work? Because there is no way he is better than Cole or Evra defensively.

Downing crucified him in Fa cup v Liverpool.
Theo fecked him in...wait no, that's not happened.
Any examples of Baines' bad defending that you'd like to produce? Because there's tonnes with Evra's name on it.
