We have got 24 players on the list now. One more, at most, unless another player goes on loan.

Don't get the assumption that Agard's arrival means Baldock will be sold. Brighton interested but nowhere near meeting City's valuation!

This means No.

With the departure of Will Buckley, I would like to see a striker with comparable speed, but I cannot see an English player in the lower divisions with this speed. Or with the ability to shoot with both feet. I'd sooner we hold fire rather than signing a player on a three year contract that would not be able to hack it in the Premier League.

When does the loan window start?

Why don't they just pay or shut up and stop coming back with these silly bids?

Oh sorry, it's us that's trying to buy the player

Hope we don't pay any more than £1m for him. If they don't sell at that price then let them keep him as he'll be gone in the summer for nothing.

If what Cotterell says is correct why dont Bristol City just say if you pay x amount he is yours if not dont bother and not haggle. We then either pay the money they want or dont as the club see fit.

Not ure about that. Baldock seems well happy at City and if they go up then makes them even more attractive

If they don't sell in this window then his value is halved in January as he will in final 6 months of his contract

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?

Silly old bat
I wonder if there is a chance we could do some sort of swap deal with CMS, I'm not sure he will be much longer and could do well at Bristol City.

If he went there, I hope they've improved their quagmire of a pitch. It was there that he ruptured his achilles tendon.

As for Baldock, meh.

Higher division. Head turned. Can't concentrate. Difficult. See: Buckley, Will.

If we spend more than 2-3m on any player at this level I would begin to question our recruitment credentials. There is a whole world of players out there. A club should be able to recruit players of a very high standard without spending more than that. And countless have proved it.

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.

Sounds like he wants out doesn't it...

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.
