 Welcome to ToffeeTV, Leighton Baines has signed a new contract at Everton Bazz, are you happy? Yeah, I am very happy. Well I'm happy, I said before, it's like that with me because I love him, he's such a good footballer that you're looking and thinking. Why has Joe made him look like Bear Grylls though? He looks like he's about to climb up a mountain. Maybe he is. Okay, I'm just saying. The mountain of trying to get past Lucadine together with you. I think that is a mountain. Exactly. So part of me was like, I feel like he should be playing every week for someone. But the flip side of that is... I don't want to see him ever play for anyone. Not in the Premier League, I'd eat him to play in the Premier League for anyone. Can't do that. But I would have been okay with him going to say MLS, something like that. But I'm glad he stayed, I think he's a brilliant back up for Lucadine. Still a very talented footballer, probably not. Can't get up and down all week after week after week. But I think for games, he can. I think he's just a great footballer. At the end of the day, it's called getting old, isn't it? Yeah, it happens. You want to be able to do stuff but you can't. In his head, he could probably do what Lucadine's doing. But he can't. We've seen that when he came on, when he started the game against Wolves after Dean had been sent off against Wolves. He was injured though, that day. No, no, I know that. But there are those moments that we've all been through that you think in your head you can get the ball and you can't. And it's just that yard too slow, especially in the Premier League. That can be the deciding factor to you filing someone, that can be a penalty or whatever. And I think that's just why, I mean obviously, that's why he's not a starter. He hasn't got the pace, he's not as good as what Dean is. I looked at the ball, that's the game of the season. That penalty he gave away ridiculously because he was worried about what was going on behind him. That was more of an indication. But I still feel like he can do his job in saying games and I feel as though if he had someone in front of him, like Bernard, I think he'd help him as well. But he's going to have to be reserved in what he does when he plays. He can't bomb up and down or anything. It's how you use him. Number one, he'll be training every single day. He will help Dean, he will help Robinson and Robinson's at the club next season. He will help other people who have experience. Being around the dressing room is massively important. Well, he's just lost Jack Yelkes. He is the senior man now. The absolute senior man, the last of Moises. Maybe Coleman. Men apart from obviously Seamus Coleman. He's still playing. So it's key that you have these characters who can show people who come at the club because we're still a club that has had a massive turnover of plays in the last three, four years. And there's players who are... We've said this before. When Dominic Alvin Lewin is one of your longest-saving players in the squad, you know you've got a few issues from that point of view. So it's really important to have these people around. You can see how much of a really good influence he has on people like Tom Davis. Listen, I'm sure this fella keeps other players feet on the ground. He's a player who's been an international footballer and all the players that's, you know, year-in, year-out three years. And yet though, yeah, there's absolutely no hair is grated about him. He's a player, a man who just wants to get on with his life. You know, he likes doing the photography. You know what I mean? And that's a fantastic influence on younger players. Well, look at Tom. You know, he's out in gear there. You'd look at him and go, what the... And he doesn't care and I love that about him. He doesn't give a trot. And it'll be because of people like him. He hasn't had to be. No, but he hasn't had to... I just love the idea that Tom Davis is on Rodeo Drive in L.A. And people probably look at him and think he's some, like, student. He's got the hips there. And yeah, he could go in no shop. He's essentially... He's essentially, like, Julia Robertson, pretty woman. At the moment. But I digress. Yeah. So, we will have granted people like Tom Davis to look up to Baines and see the way he is. He comes in and gets on with his dosage work and goes home and he's just family. It's all about his family. He's been in the Premier League for 12 years now. Has there been anything about him? Any stories in the play? Any cause? No. He's just got on with his job year after year. Fantastic ability as well. And to have that at your club, it's massively important. He's a really good footballer, regardless of anything else. And so, if you've got him in your squad, there's a back-up to Luca Deere. I mean, if you've seen him when he played against... Who'd be playing the third round of the cup? Our own. Steven or whoever it was. He'd come in for that game. He was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant that day. He's still got that ability. He's just that... I expected him to do it week after week after week after week across the season, not going to wrap it anymore. Lincoln City. Lincoln City, not Steven's or anything. Lincoln City, he was excellent. So, being able to do that, sporadically, is fine. And like I said, when Luca Deere, you know, was doubtful for a couple of games, I was thinking, well, we go away. I mean, we play away from home and the emphasis isn't the onus, it's not him to get up and down all day. It's a bit more reserved and let it see you forward, please. I think he can do that job as well. And the manager really likes him because he is that positive influence. There was the, I think, man you were all, on the editing behind the scenes. He's waiting for Luca Deere on the pit. He didn't come on and he's just waiting for him to come off and was he united off? One of the games and he's there waiting for him and hoax him and he's got the sub thing on. And he didn't get up and bam, stand in the tunnel and stay out the way. He was waiting to applaud the lad who's played in his position and done a really good job. And it was things, it's things like that. It's professionalism. It's when you're a... Ellis Sims, for argument's sake, who will train with the first team at some stage this season. You're looking up to him. He's done it for years. Done it for years. What's he trying like? He's riding to it. Anthony Robinson, like you just mentioned. What does Baines do? He's into snapping it. He changed the way fullbacks were viewed in this country, like in Baines. Him and Seamus Coleman. Everton were pioneers almost. The most usual of that. Your fullbacks have a lot of the ball. I'm going to get to out and out attacking fullbacks and that's what him and Seamus Coleman were. And he's been an absolute pleasure to watch him in Everton's shit. So from that perspective, I'm delighted. It's a no brainer to me for Marco Silva. You're getting a lad who can still do a job in the Premier League. He knows the club. He's grounded. He's going to train and work hard every day. And he's still got that ability. So I think for Everton and for Marco's point of view, he'll be absolutely delighted this night. And he can, I don't know, in the year, he can hopefully prepare for a testimonial with Phil Jagger or something at the end of it or whatever, whatever way. Maybe say like this is going to be my last year and I'm going to make the most of it and I'm going to enjoy it. I think this is his last year. Really, I do. I don't see him staying again next year. And it may be next year that he gets the offer to play football somewhere else. He might not. He might just go, I'm happy. Enough's enough. He's like a fellow. He just likes his job but also is content with what he does elsewhere. And he's, you know, he's... Could have gone to United. Could have made a fuss when Everton trained. The damn didn't. Yeah. So the notice left back in the world. He was at one time. Still a very good left back. So for Everton perspective, you're talking about Leighton Baines being sub as a back-up. Shows you the level, look at the inside. So brilliant for Everton. And hopefully, you know, Leighton will bring Anthony Robinson on over the next 12 months or Everton will go and buy another left back next summer when Baines even comes on. So that's good. David, let us know your thoughts in the comments on Leighton Baines. What a guy. What a guy. Even if he does look like Bear Grylls in this picture, he's just been brilliant.
