Am in disbelief about some fans see him as a 'messiah' ...

I am not disputing that he is a committed player with a lot of technical ability for L2, but he is well past his best now. I suspect Kenny Jackett moved him into the middle because he was not providing as much of a threat down the flank, which is what we need, service from the wing (when he is on form JJ does provide this down one side).

(Mind you, with the way Liam Kelly takes corners, maybe he might be worth having after all!)

Unless we let Andreu take them.... Think people seem to forget about him when shouting about Baker.

I should really leave it open just so we know who all of the people with "inside knowledge" are.

Interesting you highlight only Liam Kelly on corner duty, JJ is by far worse.
Kelly at least gets his in the box, with JJ the 5'5" bloke in the opposition mops up JJ's corners as he fails to beat the first man.

Andreu is our best corner taker followed by Kelly in a distant second.

So Baker made the most of his connections to local media to suggest he would love to return for the second year running only to spurn us for a better offer?

Doesn't that mean he is exactly the same as James Collins?

Indian league only runs from October till December, so a quick pay day for him. It wouldn't surprise me if he signs in January, robins did say our paths may cross in the future, at least this thread can resurrected in December.

Ah yes the famous "sauce" tweet. Maybe you're right and I've been unfair but all the speculation abt him returning to us has hardly hindered him has it?

One and a half good seasons you say. That'll be good enough to earn him our player of the decade. You heard it here first folks. Grendull has declared that Baker is our player of the decade. Never saw that coming.

The 2017/2018 season runs from October to March as it has expanded to 10 franchisees.
