Gibbs AND Shaw at LB rotation? Too young and inexperienced IMO.
Would you rather spend £20-25m on a 28 years old Baines than on a quality winger/cam?
Let's not forget he's English + contract until 2015 + key player of Everton + wanted by clubs like Utd = easily £20m
I would go for Enrique, costs half the price of Baines and is very close to him in terms of quality and consistency imo.
28 is an age in which a player is close to his prime, I don't see it as a downside whatsoever.. he's easily the best LB in the league, a great crosser of the ball which we need and I don't see a problem with Gibbs covering for him the same way Jenks is covering for "older" Sagna.
Plus, if it means he won't go to a rival like Manure, all the better.
