Everton would be looking for a possible swap deal involving either Dimitar Berbatov or Javier Hernandez if Leighton Baines was to go to Man United as neither are getting first team football under Alex Ferguson {Ed025's Note - as noel would say...NO DEAL!

Nice touch there Ed ha ha

Listening to either city or juice, not sure which one, there news said we have made a formal enquiry for K Richardson. Don't know if it can be taken as any more reliable than the rags. {Ed025's Note - my god...i hope not!

I wouldn't be overly exited, but look what we all said about gibson, I trust Moyes whatever he does personally!
Toffeepidge {Ed025's Note - i hold my hands up pidge...i was a doubting thomas there...but at least gibbo had a pulse!!

I don't think there was anyone anywhere that thought Gibson would be good, Tought me never to question Moyes again, He is really better than anyone at maneuvering in the transfer market... actually can't wait for next season!
Toffeepidge {Ed025's Note - neither can i pidge..

Baines isn't going to manu because he would probably be on the bench, evra will be 1rt choice and baines is happy at everton because we are bulding a very strong squad (howard, heitinga, baines, fellaini, gibson, pienaar, jelavic...) If united want to bid for him, 40 milion minimum! He's one of the best LB in the world!!

No your wrong mate hes the BEST left back in the world

Totally agree, all these people saying 15/20 million, get real guys, 27 playing best footie and at his peak, easily 40 millon

Degsy {Ed025's Note - i want you on the board degsy...as a financial consultant..

Well said lad :)

I know we dont have much money but surely it makes no financial sense to sell him cheap at £15-20 million

Totally agree its nonsence man utd dont need a lb

40 million your joking he good but not that good and he could leave

Anyone else really flapping over the whole Baines rumours? I really hope it isn't true and if Kenwright does sell him for £12m that will be the end for most fans with him! Looks dodgy the way we're in for cissokho as well :/ {Ed025's Note - im not flapping,...i think its all bull..

The Mirror is the only paper properly throwing this story out and they're full of sh!t

Steve EFC {Ed025's Note - i agree ste..

Hope you're right! Couldn't bare not seeing Baines at left back unless it's because he's retired, such a honest and classy player! {Ed025's Note - he is mate..

We should be improving our right side not weakening our left!
How about a cheeky punt on Nathaniel Clyne! {Ed025's Note - i think palace will want big money for him..

I think its all bull man utd have got evra already so if i was kenright i would only accept 12 million with someone like hernandez or 30 million for baines hes top class

skysports transfer centre on rumour page is what i said yesterday everton to offer hardgreaves pay as you play deal

Honestly if we where to get Hargreaves fit he would be the buy of the century on a free, but I just can't see that happening, he's career is over in my opinion
Toffeepidge {Ed025's Note - between him and owen pidge...they would make our treatment room look like an episode of casualty..

Hope not... AntEFC {Ed025's Note - so do i ant..

Not good enough for us we need better to get in Europe. AntEFC

Did you post it on there too

Everton have made an offer of 3.2m for Bolton's Korean winger Chung-Yong Lee. Although Chung-Yong was injured most of the 2011-2012 season, Moyes sees great potential for the winger in the right wing. It is also expected that having a Korean player will raise Everton's profile in Korea, much like how having Tim Cahill and Tim Howard raised Everton profiles in Australia and in the US.

I would be very happy if this were true.

Toffeejack

Although, there has not been any formal approach whatsoever, considering it is MAY and it is EVERTON, I would love to see this lad at Everton, think he was one of the main reasons, alongside Holden, why Bolton were relegated. Think his creativity would improve the team

Quality player...skilfull and technically good with great commercial value! Look at ji-sung park at UTD!
SpekeBlue

^^ pre contracts? enquires? these happen before windows begin so its over it just cant be signed and he wont officially be an EFC player til the window... and in my opinion i dont really rate this player im afraid so hopefully not true {Ed025's Note - i think hes a good player mate..

^^Pretty sure that the 2nd poster was commenting on our apparent inability to get business done early, hence the "and it is EVERTON" {Ed025's Note - i think your right..

Aly Cissokho and a bid accepted for Jay rodrieguez apparently which means we've most likely agreed a fee for baines combined comes to 12.5 mil! Dont shoot the messenger this is what I've heard

And you honstly think everton would sell baines for 12m dont think so, we sold lescot for over 20 and baines is in the top 2 left backs in the country, stop posting rubbish rumors

If we could get £20m then I would let him go. Cissokho is a very good Left back. Still not sure about Jay Rod. The price seems massively high for a player with only 1 year left on his contract.. As long as Felli dont go then I'm happy

What team does he Play for

I hope your wrong but moyes would put pienaar and cissocho before Rodrigues

^lyon I think correct me if am wrong.

There has been no contact whatsoever between United and Everton regarding Baines. It was PAPER TALK, actually it was the Mirror, one of the most untrustworthy papers around

THERE IS NO TRUTH IN THE BAINES TO UNITED!!

You wont be saying that when he leaves and believe me he will leave {Ed025's Note - i cant see it myself..

If Baines leaves it will be to a foreign team. He seen the effect that Rooney has suffered when he returns to Goodison and he's not that stupid. He's an Everton fax and is in the England team playing for us he won't leave for United. There's a greater chance in him going to Bayern Munich if they renew their interest. Murf the Blue

Only an person would give Baines a hard time if he left Everton for Utd. You can hardly comparing to Rooney as he does not act in the same way Rooney does. {Ed025's Note - you mean like when he kisses the badge?..am i the only one who would like to give him a thick ear when he does that...its so disrespectful..

Everton need to sell before they can buy, as they have to much debt. The banks won't borrow them any more cash. If they do sell Bainsy the bank will want at least half the money. They need at least 25 million for him. But who could they bring in to replace him, he is one of the best lb around. Much better to keep him and sell Cahill 7m, Coleman 8m and Distan 4.5m. Or phil Jag for 16m. Then buy pinear,huth and defoe.

Tranquillo Barnetta rejected his latest deal at Bayer leverkusen and will be available on a free. This is just what Moyes has been waiting - a creative winger who can slot straight into the first team.

Going Sevilla Apparently

Looking at wikipedia it says that hes signed a pre-contract agreement with newcastle

Dont hold your breath on this one lol, and wiki can be updated by anyone {Ed025's Note - yes it can..

Baines is not going anywhere, at least not for a fee well above 25m, he wants to stay, everton do NOT NEED TO SELL, this is a bogus, pathetic atemptt to sell papers, has no substance and the mirrior should be ashamed of this cheap, lazy reporting. {Ed025's Note - i agree..

Mate, yes we do need to sell, haven't you heard we have a few problems with finances
