I think the majority of people were thinking lets get Baker in he can't be any worse than Vincenti
Ive had a bloody cold since before Christmas just when I thought it was gone it came back again ...those bloody cheating Aussie boys giving everyone the fluSurely it's more than flu if it has lasted so long?

I was basing it on him actually being fit and ready to playThe fact he can't train says he is. At least we aren't going to be wasting any money if he is on pay as you play.

Based on our recent experience of signing unfit 34+ year old players who've played little football and aren't match fit i said we shouldn't sign him. Its so much harder to get fit and recover when your north of 30. Its a shame as its been bit of a saga and distraction.
I can't see him making a single appearance , and unless he can get 2+ u23 games under his belt and prove his fitness, he shouldn't get anywhere near the matchday squad. That seems a long way off.

I think you're wrong. Injured, not fit, not trained, the flu..... Pah!!Based on our recent experience of signing unfit 34+ year old players who've played little football and aren't match fit i said we shouldn't sign him.

If anyone has bought a season ticket for next season just because Baker has signed a short term contract to the end of this season thats their own fault!Designed to sell more season tickets.
Yep. Could only describe that decision as 'Batshit crazy!'If anyone has bought a season ticket for next season just because Baker has signed a short term contract to the end of this season thats their own fault!
The curious tale of Baker.
Anyone elsw think its just a PR stunt.???
And we all bought it. Designed to sell more season tickets.
Unless I see him on the pitch. That's my take.

Thats what i meant 5 game package and tickets boost, not sesson tickets for next yesr year obviously.Maybe the last few games package? But season tickets? Baker has said given the chance he will go back to India, he thought it was great. He is trying to use Coventry to get fit and be offered that chance in India. To be honest someone his age having not played for 12 months is not the way forward for us next season.

But thats me being very cynical.
Who would do that or has?Thats what i meant 5 game package and tickets boost, not sesson tickets for next yesr year obviously.

I'm tempted to spend £75 on a 35 year old. She's called Roxie and can fire ping pong balls right across the room. She'll also shit in your briefcase for an extra fiver.If anyone was actually tempted to spend £75 to see a 35 year old never has been they deserve all they get

Probably not fit and certainly not match fit. Even if he was, who is to say he would be good enough to get in the team?What is the latest on Baker, is he going to be fit for the playoffs?

MR said in fridays interview he’s gone away to get fit. Been on the gym and swimming a lot.
Said Baker had called him to update him to say how hard he’s working, MR said baker told him give him a bit more time and baker suggested the Stevenage game but MR was keen to point out he’s yet to play and train again so would need to train and going from the pool and gym to the pitch is totally different
Weeks away in my book.

Stevenage game...As in this Friday night?
Yeah, never ever gonna happen. You cannot prep for a game all week on the hope he’s gonna train all week at the business end of the season when ponticelli has thrown his hat in the ring to accommodate him in the side.
Baker wouldn’t even make the bench for weeks in my book as a minimum

Waste of valuable bench space.Exactly, if he isnt even able to train and has to swim etc it isnt good. It's a long way from playing in a match, he will need to train with the squad and then a couple of U23 games.
There is no point putting him on the bench at all if he is nowhere near fit.
He would have to play in any U21 game early this week as a very minimum.
Just can't see it.
Last 2 games at a push at best and then would it even be worth the gamble?
He's keen to play, but them so am I and I'm well into my 50's.
Also hope he's got a Passport to Leisure for the swimming too.Hope he's been signed on a pay-as-you-play else this has been quite a waste of money.
