Alba was sold for 14 million
I hope if United buy him, Everton receives a good fee. If any club needed it, it would be them.
last year statistic : Tackles: Evra 2,8 Baines 1.7 per game
interceptions: Evra 1,4 Baines 2
clearances: Evra 4,6 Baines 2,3
goals: Evra 0 Baines 4
assist: Evra 4 Baines 2
The lack of defensive cover Baines will have could leave him exposed defensively and may be too large a step up for him. Baines is a good left back but anything over £8 million, especially considering Jordi Alba was £11 million would be a huge amount of money. In an ideal world, United would be able to find a cheaper alternative abroad but left-backs are in short supply which could necessitate a move for Baines, especially now Fabio has been loaned to QPR.
