Slightly random that a west ham blogger would post a big article about him which leads me to believe that there could be something to this

"However, it appears that Bristol City want a cool £1 million for their striker"

Doubt they will sell him for double that much.

£1m? Will they really let him go for that? Doesn't look very reliable to me.

Jay Thomas once of arsenal created 80% of baldocks goals last season, was very highly regarded a few years ago! big powerful and great dribbler, should go for the pair

750k, would be happy with that, even at this million pound I wouldn't argue. I expect those are simply guestimates tho and that the true figures are at least double that.

Is the rest of the article guesswork too? Unfortunately, I think it might be, hope I'm proved wrong tho, always thought Baldock was a very decent striker.

No, I'm not saying it is true, or that it is not true. It's only a pointer to a story with a question mark so we can take it for what it is, a possible hint at what may be happening. It's not a trick thread.

Why have you changed your mind? Panicking that it's the best we can hope for as time runs out and a striker signing is a must, or done some more research and changed your mind?

My initial gut feeling is another CMS calibre striker - will bang in goals for fun in League One but never going to be prolific in the Championship. However, quite happy for someone to convince me otherwise.
