I'd love us to stump up for Baines but can't see us forking out the readies.
Why would Baines want to go to your club?
And don't tell me "to play in the CL" because he can go to a CL club that actually wins things.
I think Baines is a great player, and that's why he'll end up at United or Chelsea. Or City, if they win the league next season.
I think that might not be an issue, as Wenger apparently bid more for Phil Jones than yernited did.
