If it wasn't baker would we want someone who scored 9 goals from midfield and was a big part of the champion's team last year? Yeah he's old but he came into football old so has plenty of miles on the clock

'Age ain't nothing but a number'

R. Kelly. Wise man, although he did piss on an underage girl on camera so I'm not sure if Baker will be a success.

Squad still needs a set piece man, especially now we have the height of Vincenti and Biamou up top who have and can get goals from set pieces.
Not sure if Carl would be the answer but he ticks that box.

Not signed yet as he? I'm guessing he's still here on trial and likely have a run out at Sutton or Tamworth if we're really interested

That's good, likely not one to impact this year tho in the first team with stokes likely ahead of him and Haynes.

Honestly a right load of bollox by Telegraph-led by Bakers agent to force a move.

We don't need Baker.

Passed it and definitely NOT the future of Skyblues.

I honestly don't understand the fervour devoted to this man.

I think from the comments from MR he had a very string feeling he was off so went and got Liam Kelly in early doors to cover any such scenario so I think MR is still happy with summer recruitment in the middle of the park.

I don't get the impression us having Bigi, Doyle, Stevenson and Kelly was never on the cards.

I thought he was horrendously inconsistent with his set piece deliveries.

The fans trying to get Bigi off free kicks at Bristol Rovers was quality.

How far this club has fallen nonsense can be summed up by the obsession with some by a low league journeyman like Baker. An abject failure in the league he was signed to perform in and ended up performing for one and a half seasons.

A championship flop using social media to try and stop his long distance journey to work.

No thanks.

By the way Grendel, I'm halfway through knitting you a 'Ryan Haynes, The Ginger Ninja' scarf. It was going to be a half and half scarf with Bigi (but that ship has sailed)

Big Hollywood stars have stories made up about them all the time and yet don't acknowledge them. This seems like no smoke without fire WELCUM HOME SKIP XXXX

Interestingly MR at the kit launch said that delivery of set pieces was terrible last season.

I don't think Baker the answer tho.

Out of 10 outfield players there ought to be at least a couple of players who are competent at this. It is an important weapon and yet you do wonder sometimes whether our lot were a bit like on the school field, where the first/or biggest kid to grab the ball and said 'I'm having this' prevailed. It was patently obvious to all who saw him last year that Bigi was below average when it came to taking a free kick, yet nobody seemed to do anything about it - I found it odd, to be honest.

I can't remember too much success in the way of free kicks for us. Joe Cole scored that peach and I remember Leon Best firing one through the wall away somewhere, was it Sammy Clingan who got a few as well?

Yousef Safri at HR. I don't think it could have been any more top corner.

I just associate our set pieces with either not beating the first man or going out the other side nowadays though.

I've never understood why Stevenson doesn't take them, we have seen he has the technique for shots like that but instead it's usually somebody like Bigi wrestling for the ball and making a big deal out of it to then hit the wall.
