According to a friend of mine in the footballing realm - Wigan are in for our Sam. Wages could well be a stumbling block however, but they are definitely interested
I'll drive him there myself.
Do I need a different licence for one of these?:-

Give them Baldock on a perm and Walton on loan for the season, they give us Powell. Job done!

Would be nice. Don't think Sam will go though. By all accounts he's on a fare wack and Wigan can't afford him.

Naylor reckons Baldock has a higher chance of staying than Hemed, and another new striker not likely.

Hemed is similar to Murray, both slow and physical so cause defenders a problem. I cannot see space in the squad for both. We are much more likely to have Baldock as the 4th striker than Hemed but I could also see us signing another striker and letting both Hemed & Baldock go

I like SB one of my favourite players hope he gets some more game time this season.

Makes sense, unless we splash £30M on an absolute top class striker. Unlikely - upgrading midfield is likely to cost a bomb, and I'm sure our budget isn't unlimited..

No chance Baldock stays.

Any criticism of Baldock is extremely unfair. He was integral to the promotion season: dynamic, made Murray/Hemed better and scored some cracking goals both home and away. I would like to think that if we play with slightly less caution next year he could play a role, but realistically I think he'll move on to pastures new for more game time.

A fit and in form Baldock would be a decent backup to have. He has pace and my impression is that he doesn't lose his head when in front of goal meaning a decent goal to shot ratio, but I have no evidence for that.

You seem to have forgotten that he performed in The Championship and we are now in The Premier a totally different story. From The Argus it seems our further interest in Ulloa has dropped off.
I agree with that. It's not his fault he has been injured and I still remember the speed and positivity he played with when we secured promotion. He is largely untested in the Premier so I would say keep him and see how it pans out.
So you are basing that on his performance when? He's faster than Murray and has a cooler head than Knockaert.

Baldock was inconsistent in the championship nevermind we're now in the prem.He needs to move on as he'll never be in our plans for next season.
Not a lot of evidence to back that up though, 30 mins vs WBA?
Given our system it is difficult to justify keeping him though, and he is 4th choice.

He may end up being stuck here as we need him for the last HGP.
