"Well, we tried to sign him, but Everton blew us out of the water, we couldn't match the opportunity to challenge for a champions league place" - David MoyesLeighton Baines: Everton defender set to sign long-term deal
By Phil McNulty
Chief football writer Leighton Baines is close to agreeing a new long-term deal to stay at Everton.
Former Toffees manager David Moyes failed in his efforts to take the 29-year-old England left-back with him to Manchester United last summer.
Now Everton are increasingly confident they will shortly be able to confirm Baines, who signed for £6m from Wigan in August 2007, has committed the rest of his top-flight career to the club.
It is thought the deal could be worth £75,000 per week to Baines.
Everton are currently on a break in Tenerife and Baines could sign his new contract when they return.

In a sense I am surprised but pleased that refs can now admit it. I wonder if a lot will be made of it and it could work against the scum - probably not....
Former Premier League referee Graham Poll admits to feeling "sense of relief" when Man United won
Former Premier League referee Graham Poll admits he used to feel "a sense of relief" when Man United played well in and won games he officiated.
Writing in his Daily Mail column, Poll said:
"I would concede there was a sense of relief when United played well and won, particularly at Old Trafford.
"I knew if they didn't win there was every chance of seeing and, more importantly, hearing Ferguson and reading his comments about me in the papers the next day.
"All referees knew that Fergie's standing in the game - and the fact that he was at the biggest club - meant that when he unleashed the hairdryer on a referee there were inevitable headlines."
Poll also suggested David Moyes has to accept he cannot enjoy anything like the same intimidating effect he believes Mr. Ferguson enjoyed for many years.
"I fear another defeat for Moyes," he said.
"[Moyes] must accept that he does not have the same intimidating presence as his predecessor had."
