The Sam Baldock 'Saga'

[Papa Lazarou]

A bit like Pele, Peter Ward, Michael Owen, Messi, Maradonna, Jimmy Greaves, most great goal scorers you mean !

I hope what he's suggesting is we have smaller forward players in CMS and Colunga, so I'd say we have no vacancies for that type of player.

i think you might be stretching the point in baldocks case albeit a valid one!!

 

[Medwayseagull]

Sam Baldock is a short arse. Can't see it myself.

Heightism has no place on this board. If he is a short arse and you can't see it then you must be even shorter.

No. A bit like Texiera, Colunga, and LuaLua. Baldock is shorter than all three. If wiki is correct. Unsure about Baldock's height, but I don't think he has got the presence for headers upfront like Ulloa.

Baldock is obviously not keen to play for us......we don't need him if he isn't 100% committed to coming here...end of.

What do you base that conclusion on!?

because his name has been bandied about for the last 4-5 weeks and he's not here yet.......he either want's to stay where he is or is asking for too much money , which makes me right or...... his manager wants to keep him or BC are wanting too much which would make me wrong..........if he was keen to play for us he would be here by now i would have thought...

I get the opposite impression as it was his agent that leaked the news of our bid and it seems like he's not entirely focused on his performances for Bristol City at the moment. It's just up to the clubs to agree a fee.

i think we should be looking elsewhere ....we need a decent ariel threat now and we have a dangerous looking team/squad imho

It wouldn't be great buisness sense from either Bristol City or Brighton to agree early. Both sides are trying to get the best price, as with many transfer dealings.

yeah ...fair point but i still don't think he is headed this way......just my opinion , i think we are looking for another prem loanee.

Think we have filled our quota of loanees already.

 

[El Turi]

A happy ending for this saga!

 

[Rod Marsh]

Delighted. Although takes away the excitement on transfer deadline day. Natalie Sawyer and her yellow dress will have to do.

 

[Horsham Gull]

took 6 bids to land him!!

 

[crabface]

fantastic news. UTA

 

[Trust in Tony]

Sources are good, just a shame two of the pieces of information i had turned around and did not happen. I will hold my hands up for the Clement comments, i was lead to believe he was the one but something happened behind the scenes that i haven't been included in. Ward had arrived, had the first part of his medical and was due to sign, then Burnley called and the rest is history unfortunately. Today's news is of a new arrival but as to exact names i can't confirm just yet as i'm not 100% in the loop, i just know there is movement...

Well called

 

[Kikikaikai]

So Baldock was a guess?

Nope i was hinted to that they were picking up a striker from the "west" so west country is Bristol

 

[Kikikaikai]

But he doesn't know the name of the player or what position he plays.
Not a lot to put trust in, is there?

So bitter TSB

 

[Kikikaikai]

No. He asked if anyone had heard anything. Not dismissing it...but do think it's a steaming pile of horse manure.
And kikaikai has form for that.

And lets pick up on the fact that you were completely wrong about Baldock not coming
