Black Cats get Baines go-ahead
-
Sunderland have finally been given permission to speak to Wigan left-back Leighton Baines.
The Black Cats are understood to have been given the go-ahead to open talks with the 22-year-old, although the clubs have yet to agree a fee.
Roy Keane has been chasing the England Under-21 international for several weeks and has seen three bids rejected by the Latics.
Baines has two years remaining on his Latics contract and despite Chris Hutchings' desire to keep him, an offer in the region of £6million will be hard to refuse. -
he will be a good buy
-
haha they finally got him.

Black Cats have not got him yet but yes, it's a step forward.Originally posted by omgukilledkenny:haha they finally got him. -
Good good! Leave that team immediately! Anywhere will do! Just avoid Bramble and Hutchings.
Cheers.

Black Cats fail in Baines move
Wigan claim Leighton Baines has turned down a move to Sunderland.
Baines held talks with Sunderland officials last weekend after Wigan gave the Premier League new boys permission to talk to the England Under 21 international.
Wigan, who have included Baines in their side for Wednesday's pre-season friendly at Blackpool, claim the full-back will not be moving to the Stadium of Light.
Everton are believed to be weighing up a move for Baines and Latics boss Chris Hutchings has praised the player's attitude despite all the speculation over his future.
"Leighton is a first-class pro and a first-class person and despite all the speculation and rumour surrounding his future, he has remained professional throughout and as ever is a joy to work with," Hutchings told the club's official website.
"I have coached him since he first broke into the first team as a young apprentice and taken great satisfaction in how he has developed as a player and an individual." -
