A Club statement confirms bids for two players rejected.
Everton can confirm that it has received bids from Manchester United for two players. Those bids were immediately rejected out of hand as derisory and insulting.
The Club did not make public these details as it was vital Roberto Martinez’s preparations for the opening game of the Premier League season were not disrupted in anyway.

I am happy with the strong nature of this statement and that we will not be pressured or bullied by United.

Club statement regarding bids

Completely different level, RVP would get into most teams in the world, baines would not.

Beg to differ Earl. You don't watch Baines enough...

Its funny how people define class by possibly one moment a game after not being involved (RVP similar to Cantona in that respect)
Baines is heavily involved and provides moments of magic but is dismissed as he is a defender!
How do you feel about other attcking fullbacks?
Cafu (you will be too young to remember him)
Cole
Lahm
Or how about Irwin, Uniteds best buy under Fergie in my opinion.

He's certainly up there of course but there are a few ahead of him
6 years and a 67 million pound profit on Ronaldo?
500k for the best keeper I have ever seen?

He's better than both.

what's so funny??
He's getting picked ahead of Cole for England and Man U want to sign him to replace Evra. So yes, its fair to say he's better than both.

Dunc, your doing it wrong, you aren't allowed to say anyone is better than any united player even if we all know its true!

Loz is Cole a Utd player?
Baines is a decent player and like G Nev said yesterday, would be a good understudy to Evra.

It's going to be about 40 million to get them
----------------
Agree with that
Pretty sure Everton will want at least that for the pair. 40m could be spent better elsewhere in my opinion
