Chasing lost causes isn’t effort - putting the body on the line in the penalty area when surrounded by centre halves who may bully you is.
to say he's bone idle is ridiculous, i don't think we've ever had a striker who closes down clearances etc as well as Baka does (granted, it's not the stand-out quality that you want from a striker, but you can't say he isn't good at it).
After his debut(?) at Blackpool last year, I thought he was terrible, and would've agreed with most comments on here, but he definitely improved as the season went on.
Godden is a step up from both Baka and Max, so if one of them was to go out today I wouldn't be too despondent
Surely that fee'd have to be dependent on clauses?!?if oggy is right and we really invested £350,000 in him that is a criminal waste of money
Ah yes, Sean Flynn. Now there was a player...Yes the Sean Flynn approach. Chase a cause you know you can’t win and oddly avoid one that may result in a collision
One of many who, when Atkinson came in to the club, was told by Atkinson that he tried to sign him for Villa... before being shuffled on pretty sharp-ish!Ah yes, Sean Flynn. Now there was a player...
I would like to see if another manager would be willing to play a system to suit him instead of us....win winThe difference is Bakayoko hasn’t ever scored goals - he’s a terrible signing - you can say that’s the manager not the player but the player is to me not just poor but lacks heart and commitment - if oggy is right and we really invested £350,000 in him that is a criminal waste of money
You'd struggle to put it on the right way around, unless you had a Walsall fan to help you.I could be static for 90 minutes, give me the shirt!
This thread seems very mean spirited and serves zero purpose.
Perhaps you should return to your safe space before your feelings are hurt any further.
Played 180 minutes in 5 games
I guess that's a condescending attempt at humour and portraying yourself as some kind of tough guy (on an Internet forum).
Also inadvertently pokes fun and diminishes anyone dealing with mental health issues. Classy.
I was simply conveying in a round about way that you're being overly sensitive for telling people to stop being mean, on a football forum of all places.
In reply to that you've insinuated that I'm some type of internet troll who makes fun of the mentally ill. Now who is being the mean overly dramatic one here?
But he wasn’t bought to be a back up striker.Surely that fee'd have to be dependent on clauses?!?
tbf to him, as the backup striker at this level, he's about what you'd hope for. That's not what you'd want to spend money on, though.
But he is the backup striker.But he wasn’t bought to be a back up striker.

Started on his debut though scoring a penaltyyes he was

I couldn't agree more.Total waste of money, waste of a shirt, and waste of a squad position.
His attitude is piss poor, he is totally unprofessional and serves as a very bad example to the younger members of our squad.
I will give 100% support to players who show pride, passion for the shirt, and commitment for the challenge, but I reserve the right to publicly criticise any player who falls short of what is expected of them, on or off the field (eg Hickman)
I expect professional sportsman to act in a professional manner, i can accept a lack of talent, but never a lack of effort.
Is that really too much to ask?
At least you gave him a fair chanceI couldn't agree more.
Made my mind up when he made his debut at the Ricoh, and he's done nothing since then to change my mind.

The general consensus of City fans is he's shit.
The overwhelming consensus of Walsall fans was he is shit.
I think we can safely back the stats on this one and conclude that Baka is indeed, shit.
No further discussion warranted
I think with them players we could see it Baka is a poor footballer well below league 1Remember when Callum Wilson was shit? When Maddison was shit? When Jacob Murphy was shit?
Not saying Baka is a world beater but football fans don't exactly have the best track record in judging players. He frustrates me but those I've heard speak who have been close to training seem to think there's a player in there but it's not showing. I'd have been all for a loan to a league 2 team if we had adequate cover.

He’s garbage mate nothing personal with him he’s just not close to the level NeededHe lacks a yard of pace & a killer instinct. But honestly some of the shit you read on here... it defies belief. Some people must really enjoy having a dig. Worst player ever yadda yadda. What bollocks. Must have very short memories.

Your only contribution to the thread seems to be focused on calling me over dramatic vs. perhaps commenting on others who accuse Baka of being a 'coward' and 'responsible for the worst performance ever seen in a City shirt.'
I'm happy for everyone to have their own opinions. It's what makes a forum like this work as well as it does.
You said the comments were "mean and served no purpose" which isn't true as the purpose is to create opinion and conversation. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean they're wrong or there's not some truth to it and even if it is a load of bollocks, so what?
It's a laugh. No one is getting stabbed or hung over it.
If you think it's a good laugh to viciously put the boot in on a player who is not even featuring - perhaps you yourself need to find a safe place to reflect with some of your mates on here.
