BBC? Not a dicky bird from those Shytelovers. Goofy gets a couple of stud marks and LB gets a broken toe. No effing justice.
My guess is that Alcatraz will be drafted in, and LB needed a rest anyway.
surely this will be Oviedo's chance ... not fooking Alcopopsicknote ?
Oviedo is not up to it. Alkopop will fit in nicely.
hmmm .. not sure I agree totally there mate .... Ovvy's no Baines but he's never been relegated with Wigan either
J5 in at CB, Distin LB. Let the demise begin.
You can quote me. Alcaraz!

Is Alcaraz as bad as J5?

Don't know what to make of this

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/everton-will-not-use-leighton-baines-layoff-as-excuse-to-open-contract-talks-8969436.html

The England left-back has been ruled out for up to six weeks with a broken bone in his right foot but the Toffees boss said the focus in that period will be on the defender's fitness and not his future.

Baines has just over 18 months remaining on his current deal but Martinez said they were in no rush to tie him down in the long term.

why are we in no rush to tie him down into a longer term contract? Have we already agreed to sell him next season, and if so, as he'll only have 12 months on his contract, we'll only get buttons for him. Really don't understand these comments?

I would take the statement with a pinch of salt, because it makes no sense. It's possible we reached a Suarez style agreement with Baines in the summer that he would stay another season and if we got top 4 he would sign a new contract, otherwise he could go to ManUre for £8m or £10m or whatever. The alternative was to sell him in August for maybe another £5-10m, which Manure didn't seem to want to pay. Martinez maybe convinced Bill to take the punt. Probably worth it for one more season of Baines?

just a question. will he want to go to a team who are not performing very well in the league and might not get European qualification ?

Possibly. At least he'll be guaranteed a game.

Given the great performances from Oviedo, should Leighton just go straight back into the first eleven ?

I'm not sure really.....

I'm not sure he should either, but he will. I would be amazed if he's not in the starting 11 if fit.

RhinoJagz Wed 18 Dec 2013, 8:45 am

Be very harsh on Oviedo if Baines came straight back in. Probably put him on the bench and spring him if we chasing the game.

toffee_pies Wed 18 Dec 2013, 9:44 am

There are lots of games over the next few weeks in which he could be eased back in, I would have thought bench for next 2 games then bring him back v Southampton.

Goodison_Gringo Wed 18 Dec 2013, 3:18 pm

Perfect timing with Foofoo out really. I wouldn't be surprised to see Baines eased back in over Xmas and Oviedo pushed up onto the wing.

Sack the Juggler Wed 18 Dec 2013, 4:31 pm

he'll need game time to fully recover, so we can ease him in to some of the easier games

"Easier" games have been our downfall though in the past. I really hope we can get three points when we are "supposed" to, like against Fulham, a game where we are times were under some pressure but won in the end.

Will be available by Boxing Day according to the beeb.

Leighton Baines: Everton defender set to return from broken toe

Everton defender Leighton Baines is set to return from injury against Sunderland on Boxing Day, says Toffees manager Roberto Martinez.
Baines, 29, has been out of action for five weeks with a broken toe.

"Leighton Baines is getting really close and depending how today and tomorrow go, he should be available," said Martinez.

The England left-back was injured in Everton's 3-3 draw with Liverpool at Goodison Park on 23 November.

Replacement Bryan Oviedo has impressed in his absence as Everton have picked up 13 out of 15 points.

However, Martinez added: "Of course we have missed Leighton. You can't overestimate his quality, experience and know-how.

"We have had an incredible replacement in Bryan Oviedo. He has been terrific. But you want players in good moments of form to be available.

"We are desperate to have Leighton Baines back and desperate for Bryan to be in that moment of form. We need to make sure we use that well for the good of the squad."

Baines, who has played five times for England this season, was the subject of a £28m joint bid for him and Marouane Fellaini from Manchester United in the summer.
