BAINES AS A LEFT MID

    Does anyone think that baines would be more suited to playing left wing if we had a suitable replacement for left back.  I think that if Everton could get someone like wayne bridge at left back and baines left mid this side could once again be very effective for use from an attacking point of view.  Bridge is available on loan or for a small transfer fee

    yes, i reckon its worth a try. tbh, i'm not impressed by his defensive skills as i am by his attacking.

    Are you being serious! Are you trying to show Moyes how he can fit more defender into the team.

    Surely we should be recommending Moyes to play players in their natural position instead of take our best performer over the last couple of years and play him out of position. He will end up like Cahill not know whether he is a striker or midfield and not performing for us.

    BAINES WOULD BE A BETTER PLAYER IN MOST POSITIONS THAN WHAT WE PUT THERE AT THE MINUTE ! BET HE'D OF SCORED MORE THAN OUR STRIKERS HAVE DONE SO FAR IF HE'D PLAYED UPFRONT !

    I've thought this would be a good idea for ages.  The amount of goals we concede because Baines gets caught too far up the pitch is unreal.  Always down the channel between Distin and Baines.
