From reading that he isn't the same player then yes it does seem like it but if they are holding us to ransom then it'll be in our interest to forget it and move on. I'd rather we go with what we have than pay stupid money for him and wait till next summer and hopefully bag a bargain from abroad.
It did cross my mind and Baldock isn't going to come out and say I want to leave just in case the deal falls through but I wouldn't want us paying more than a million for him.
All if and buts. He hasn't scored yet this season and by all accounts isn't the same player as last season, maybe he's been a one season wonder like Mcormack?
