here's how this one goes... we don't sign him... he signs for play off rivals... comes off bench & scores in play off final against us. LOL

The question surely is will Bakers achilles tendon explode?

Even if he's half fit, he will be better than those two

Why is he running off to the Telegraph at every opportunity?

I’d rather have John McCririck on the wing than either of those two.

Because running off is part of his rehabilitation programme.

If he was walking off everywhere it would be a bit suspicious I reckon.

Wonder what we'd pay him if we did give him a contract?

They should rename the paper 'The Carl Baker Evening Telegraph'

They're obsessed with him.

Rumour is he is back as of tomorrow on a pay as you play basis.

Well, I guess he hopefully might help us get over the line into the playoffs. No risk on both sides really if it’s till the end of the season.

He is not really at pre season training level yet is he? So even without any setbacks I doubt he will play a part this season. Would be lucky to be in contention for last couple of games

Maybe the last 4 or 5 games at a push.

If he’s going to only be fit for the last 4-5 games and he’s said in the interview at first he’ll need a few 30 min sub appearances to build himself up is there much point in signing him? Unless Robins is thinking about next year

Why sign him right at the end of this season though when we have no idea what division we are going to be in next season?

If we go up he would not be good enough for League One I don't think.

It surely has to be for this season, otherwise it is just a waste of wages.

I'd hope at most a very low basic with the bulk of it pay as you play.

Maybe he has healed up quicker, I guess he will be classed as trialist in some of the upcoming games.

I was wrong about his fitness levels it looks like, although we will need to start going way ahead in games to give him a cameo

If he loves the club so much, he will offer to play for free

Pay as you play is the best option, with him paying us for him to play.

Would love to see Mr. Creosote in goal in place of Lee Burge.

Its a smokescreen to bury the real news that Avon have run out of mascara and the orders can’t be completed for a fortnight. #mothersdaycancelled.

Should think so at 2:54 am.

Maybe too many ginger beers.

One of the second in command at the BoE was on Newsnight last night, reckons that's what we're all going to be doing in the future with automation .
A world full of volunteers.
