I read the first bit but didn’t get as far as him saying he wants to go back...that’ll teach me!

Went back and read it. Sounds to me like he wants a few games with us and then wants to bugger off back to India to play in front of 70,000 each week. Hmmm...can’t really blame him.

Yeah it's a bit strange, no idea why we let him use us as a fall back option

Why didn't he stay out in India to get treatment and fit again?

There must be some sort of benefit for the club. If he scores 15 and gets us promoted then obviously, but will see what happens.

I was listening on the radio the other day to an item about robots in the US being used to cook burgers in fast food restaurants. The reason for there introduction, as always, was the huge saving in costs on labour. There was someone on from a British bakery saying how they are increasing using robots to cook items in their ovens. It does make you think where the jobs in the future will be (robot manufacture and maintenance?) and who will be able to buy the products robots produce if unemployment is rife. Just to get the thread back on track, I don’t think Carl Baker will be replaced by a robot. How about a robot manager though?

Well yeah, I see your point. However, if he plays 4-5 games, scores the winner in the playoff final and then goes, I’d be happy enough.

But from our point of view he needs to be fully fit and be capable of giving us a return before we accommodate him...because his plans with us are very short term. It's not like we are going to get the benefit of him next season as he would obviously prefer to go back to India.

Yep, but using an optimistic eye, maybe because we will be in League One and he won't be good enough to join us there.

That's the thing, obviously he can get himself physically fit but we will need to get him match fit and letting him train with us.

Then once he is fit and back to full fitness he wants to go back to India.

What do we get out of it?

Well yeah that would be great.

However if that doesn't happen, it might just end up like the Joe Cole experiment but not quite as good.

Cheeky scouse prick has prick probably has a monopoly on avon in India or something. What is the point in having him round if he's just using us for fitness. I'd get Doyle to end his career in training for the audacity.

Generated a lot of column inches again .
He probably still has something to offer at this level, doubt it will be with us unless he really proves he still has it.
With us would only likely be for 4-5 games.
He's done India ,can't see him doing 9 months over there while his Family is back here.
Most likely talking that up to leverage better wages back here .

The first thing I think about when I get out of bed, with Carl Baker sheets, and take of my Carl Baker Pyjamas is "I hate how much we talk about him"

If Baker was half as good a footballer as he is at duping fans on social media he’d have played more England games than beckham.

Yep, he needs to take over at Grimsby and see how well he does.
