But it depends on how much a contract extention costs agsinst bringing another forwsrd in?

A team like Coventry cannot afford 30 super stars. We need squad players, who we hope we can develop. They probably could not line up a better replacement for Bakayoko for the money. The strikers who they hoped to ship out was Kasteneer and Biamou - mainly on age.

You said we can’t just bomb people out and how much you don’t get how fans don’t understand this ? He was out of contract we extended it for another year so really you felt he was under contract and we needed a club to come as take him which is not correct

also to back up my point you said “you have to have a taker first”

No mate you really don’t as he wasn’t under contract

Was about to write something similar. I don't get it with Baka but Robins and Viveash must see something and who am I to doubt them.

He works hard, presses the defence, wins some headers and has decent link up play.

He's not going to score 20 goals a season we all know that, but he serves a purpose as 4th choice striker

the thing is. and I keep saying this, who do you replace him with?
He won't be a big earner, we will be taking a punt on another lower league player with no guarantee it will work out, it's not like we have big money to spunk on proven Championship quality.

He seems afraid to turn or run at defenders. His passes hit their mark today but I don’t think he played a single ball forwards. As for the “corner” I think I would prefer a Hamer corner with Ostigard & McFadz in the box than Baka facing down Grimmer with no-one in the box

Other than 10 minutes when he won a couple of headers and had a couple of lay off he was anonymous today. I cannot see how anyone can say he played well today, he was average at best.

He is massive but doesn't show any strength, doesn't bully defenders and can't hold the ball up.

He is quick, but never uses his pace with the ball or trying to get on the end of things.

He offers no goal threat at all.

He is consistently inconsistent, world beater 1 game, carpet beater for the next 10. In 2.5 years he's been with us, he has never managed to force his way into being first choice, and turning 25 in less than 3 weeks, he is no longer a youngster.

It is a fair argument. As he's not going forward particularly however, there comes a time when you have to try your luck with the next Baka, and hope they develop more effectively?

tbf, with both him and Biamou, they might want more first team football than we can give them, anyway. Baka's still at an age where if he could pull together a half-decent season in either League 1 or League 2, he could probably get himself a better contract than being perpetual nearly man with us.

And given our scouting style, it may be worth a punt to see if the next one is a success.

That fact we haven’t offered him a new deal since summer means he isn’t in the plans from next summer. Wonder if we can loan him somewhere so we can loan in a premiership striker youngster

so we're 'stuck' with him until then.
I hope he finds his level and does well, will always love him for Charlton away -what a day!
Hopefully Robins scouting team have a little gem ready to pull out of the bag.

Not that I disagree but can’t imagine it’s very often a player gets 2 new contracts in the space of a few months?

I didn’t like it when he let the ball bounce in front of him then tried to head it and it bounced over him.

Bit harsh some of the comments on here. He did a job. Wasn’t awful at all.

Fact is Godden and Biamou were injured. He did ok, let’s not crucify him.

Reality is our budget only stretched so far and this is a transition year from L1 to Champ. So we will have the likes of Baka on the books as a cheap option. If we get survive we can build and that will be at the sacrifice of the likes of Baka, Allen etc.

Oggy called it. Ball played tto feet 30 yards from goal and instead of taking it and running at them, he played it 25 yards back to half way. Move and momentum lost

I'd argue he rarely wins headers and his link up play is appalling. I agree he works hard and presses well though.

He works hard, has a good attitude and is popular with the other players
I suspect the underlying problem with the lad is a lack of confidence
Missing chances only makes things worse

But he doesn’t miss chances so much as never get in the positions for a chance to come his way.

Yep
Robins has spent a lot of time trying to get him to learn the game and make the most of his physical attributes
That's the frustration
Let's be honest he only got another chance because Godden is injured and Max has a niggling problem with his knee

I don't think he's up to this level as a goal scorer he might run around and stuff for the team but when the ball drops to him he misses more than scores and that's too risky as you need to take almost every chance in this division
