Sterling in particular I think is over hyped - good player yes but would be a gamble still that we could currently take with one of our own kids who could add the same dimensions to our squad. Baines is bloody good I agree but I don't think he is a player we would want for more than the next couple of seasons due to age - fair call though as its a problem area for us and there is no other Englishman (also young enough) as a long term option.
What they have that the EDS doesn't:Premier league experience.
What Baines has, well he is a top quality defender that delivers consistent freekicks and CORNERS.
I REPEAT...CORNERS,
I RE-FUCKING-PEAT...CORNERS.
Two years? FUCKING TAKE IT.
I do corners Slim .
