Was it you who suggested building it into a pre-season friendly? Think that would be good.

No not me, but I like the idea. Logistics of the players who have left maybe the sticking point but with a bit of will it could easily happen.

Good luck Baka! Thanks for some good moments but clearly not good enough for the Champ

I would think it’s the type of pre-season friendly you could get a decent crowd to as well, which would help the coffers.

Farewell Baka. Thanks for Charlton away.

Just need to clear out Godden and Biamou now.

Yeah, that would be problematic for sure. Departed players that have found new clubs certainly wouldn't be allowed to participate.

Wasn’t thinking they’d play, but surely they could be invited along, parade the trophy at HT, something like that?

Edit: could be against Shrewsbury as well, the game that was meant to be played the day the season was suspended.

It must be exhausting for some people to be so relentlessly negative all the time. And more than that, it's really very boring.

Anyway, like everyone else with a human brain, I wish Baka all the best wherever he ends up. Good luck to the lad.

Here's hoping he doesn't end up at the Baka Beyond. Was really hoping he'd step up and realise the potential... but still not too late to do that. Maybe Posh can turn him into a 20-goal striker.

Rather unfortunate that the 'play' sign appears to be pointing at his dick.

He ain't Dion. Or even a Liam Kelly.

After Cov donkey kick got locked out and had to reregister as CDK
So wether the mods were trying to tell me something they will have to try again.
Baka wish the boy all the best for the future as he had a lot of good moments in the sky blue shirt.
See ya 20 goals.

Spot on. All the physical attributes & decent enough technique just unable to consistently put it all together. Can certainly see why we took him & he won't be short of options. Not sure he'll ever be prolific but could still be a real asset to someone.

Gave us some great memories & by all accounts a top fella, wish him all the best .

Totally agree. From personal experience he seems a really nice guy; he took the trouble to come over and chat with us at an U23 game v QPR somewhere near Heathrow a couple of years ago. He was surprised to see any City supporters there and wanted to know why we were there (I was struggling for a rational explanation for that myself!). He didn't need to, he just seemed genuinely interested. My main memory of that game was Jodi screaming "for fucks sake Baka!" at him when a pass went astray. Jodi himself was not exactly setting the world alight that day so not really in a position to complain.

Ultimately, Baka contributed to getting us where we are now, and should be thanked for that. He's still relatively young, and now with more experience under his belt he could do some serious damage in a decent league 1 team; I don't think there will be a shortage of takers.
Good luck to him wherever he goes.

In that case I apologise, although i was the only one who had mentioned Dion upto that point and the comment 'laud over dross' after our recent exchanges, you can probably see why I added 2+2=5

If he gets 20 goals for a club ever I’d be shocked, couldn’t hit a barn door

His finishing is fine. The big problem he has is lack of aggression to get into good positions

The whole "a club needs a 20 goal a season striker" thing is such a myth anyway.

I thought he was going to have a decent impact this season (and no, I don't mean 20 goals, but maybe 5 or so goals off the bench) as he looked really good in pre season, looked fitter and stronger than last year and was clearly ahead of Biamou in the pecking order.

Shame, I think there's a decent player in there somewhere. Seems like a nice bloke too. Good luck to him.

Bakayoko will do fine at a L1 or top L2 team. He probably needs a team where he’ll get plenty of game time to build his confidence. Unfortunately, despite a promising preseason, he hasn’t shown any evidence he can have a meaningful impact in the Championship.

Highly likeable figure and hopefully a fresh start will do him good! Good luck to Baka!

Based on what? Hiwula is a far more talented player and struggled to get a contract.

Based on the facts that Baka clearly has the attributes if applied properly - which is why he was persisted with for so long
Hiwula had talent, but he was often beaten by his own mind

Hiwula is shit. Baka is better.

The fact Hiwula could barely get a kick in League One tells you that.

Plus Baka had a better goals per minute ratio than Hiwula in the same team in League One.
