Seem to recall he got shipped straight out at West Ham when they went up.Deserves a chance but just don't think he will be up to it.

He's improved massively in the 3 years he's been with us, let alone the 5 years since he was at West Ham. Peak of his career and last season showed a massive leap in confidence in his own ability. Wise move by the club, deserves a bit of faith from the fans which I think he will earn back.

Love Sam. Love his goal celebrations. Hope to see many more in the PL next season and beyond...

Went to every Amex game. Saw most of the away games on the telly.

OK, I KNOW there's ten thousand posters or whatever on here, and based on the numbers there's always going to be some folks arguing til their dying breath that, say, CMS or COG were the answer, and Baldock or Hemed ARE the answer 'if we play to their strengths'. Doesn't make them any less wrong tho. Disappointing that we're once more retaining the donkey strikers. The decent ones always FLY out the door.

Trip to the opticians then perhaps?

I have no opinion on this.

I'm hoping that we get a serious upgrade on him - average Championship player

Ah . . . .the adjective 'average'.

How many of his goals last season would you use 'average' to describe? I fancy I'd have a higher number using 'world class'.

I would have thought him an option to come off the bench maybe, but for the Premier League I hope we are intending to sign two striker options.

Didn't realise/had forgotten he was a Hyypia acquisition! Wow, so it wasn't all negative.

Stephens and Stockdale must be heartbroken that you don't rate them.

I have but I am likely to be picked up on it. Still here goes....

( I think he is a squad player at the very best...we are up against some of the best defenders in the world...he struggled against championship defenders...we need very good to excellent strikers with premier experience....even Murray was dumped by palace and Bournemouth, and he is miles better than baldock)

Still who knows..he may turn out to be messi in disguise

Dale Stephens was signed while Oscar Garcia was manager.

People have got short memories. If Barnes and Vokes can do a job in the Prem so can Baldock.

Dale was no more signed by Oscar than Baldock was signed by Sami.

He is a different type of player than Murray though?

Invicta · Jun 20, 2017

Very happy. Prefer players like Sam than money grabbing mercenaries any day. It's what makes us as a club.

Blue3 · Jun 20, 2017

Great news he will do really well in the Premiership with the right service

Agree Baldock and Hemed can both shine in the top league

We are talking about the man who coined the phrase "one in ten Glenn" and was very disparaging about Murray at Withdean :smile:

He can move quickly into space and accelerate in a way GM can only dream of doing though :smile:

They are very different types of player and depending who we sign may both end up as squad players.

If Hemed had Baldock's pace and Baldock had Hemed's touch then we'd have a £50m player.

Let's see how many starts both of those players actually get? We all know that we need 2 new strikers if we have any chance of staying up next season
