http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson hot on his heels.
As a typical late bloomer, Leighton Baines has slowly but surely impressed onlookers in the Premier League with his defensive solidarity and attacking verve.
Possessing a remarkable left-foot, the fullback is famous for his curving crosses and lethal set-pieces. But there is a limit to how much a player can grow at a club like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c13019, where finances and a shoe-string budget keep the manager’s hand at bay.
Sir Alex Ferguson is a noted admirer of the defender’s ability, and now with the left-back slot up for grabs, he has turned his attention towards Goodison Park’s most prized assets.
United have rarely experienced the downfall of a player with such speed, but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 has become a cause of concern for Ferguson, as he is no longer a model of consistency that others look up to.
Other options such as Ezekiel Fryers and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Da Silva are still in their development years and it would be an unwise decision on the Scot’s behalf if he entrusts them with the task of playing on a regular basis.
Baines is seen as the immediate solution to the Red Devils’ problems but still hasn’t cleared up the speculation to whether he would be moving to Manchester or not.
“People put two and two together and sometimes they get four, and sometimes they get three or five. It gets other people more excited than the people actually involved. Obviously over the years the manager (http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes) has lost players here and there who I’m sure he would have liked to have kept,” he said.
“Whether that’s because the club has needed the money or whether it’s because they have received what they consider is a considerable bid,” the former Wigan man was quoted as saying.
Though nothing concrete has been revealed, Fergie’s hand maybe forced in the transfer, as the club’s other main target http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, leaving the Everton star as the only viable option for now.
Given Everton’s well documented woes, the Merseyside outfit are unlikely to reject a realistic bid and for Baines, the thought of playing alongside greats such as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 could ultimately prove to be too tempting.
