Didn't he score something like 20 goals in one season? Just checked it was actually 22 in 36 games from midfield 
He is still getting double figures each year in the PL, has 2 in 2 this season as well. Does pretty well for a fat lad.

I loved when he called in on that radio station and tore that presenter a new one

You know i completely agree with your post, there is no denying that one of the reasons English teams started doing well in Europe in the last decade as opposed to the 90's is the huge influx of foreigners. So like i said i completely agree with your post. The only thing is, you picked a wrong example, i don't know if you're mixing up Baines with someone else, but Baines is one of the few English fullbacks that are technically proficient. He's good enough technically for a fullback, he's an amazing crosser of the ball, and he's great at set pieces.
That being said, you then look at other English fullbacks, Walker, Micah Richards, Onuha, and they are the biggest talentless hacks ever, even though some of them could be effective, as they're all pretty fast and strong, but technically they're just....

That is true, actually.
He's not that good mate. Maybe he's comparable to the likes of Ronaldinho in terms of entertainment, but not more than that
If your trolling, then it probably won't work. Its not like i like the player or anything, he's going to end up playing for United eventually so i'm readying myself to hate him any day now.
That being said, i think its quite obvious to most who watch the EPL, that you have no idea what your talking about now
I'm not saying he's an amazing fullback, because frankly he isn't much of a defender, i'm just saying he's a bad example to use when you want to illustrate how talentless English players are.
