Not what we need
we need pace and power
Baker has never been able to defend, so cant use him to sit back - so move on

So would be an improvement to the French carthorse we have upfront.

The Indian league can only sign so many players. His injury took him up to th end of the season, so they bought out his contract so they could sign someone else.
I have it on good authority, he is interested in coming back

As a steward. He loves to banter with our fans.

Baker had his chance in the summer and chose to go to India, unless he's prepared to play for very little money then I'd be telling him to do one.
Mcsheffrey has to be a joke, he's unable to get a contract at conference level. It probably only started because he was at the Ricoh for CWR yesterday.

Fine by me. Even if hr hasnt got the legs he could do a job in the number 10 slot for final 20 mins when we need a goal

If his contract is paid up then signing him as a backup and more for a coaching role to help the youngsters is what we should be thinking about. His infinity with the club and experience will be invaluable used sparingly he will be worth quite a few points in a season.

Agree, he’s injured, how long will he need to get up to speed?
Too many unknowns of his current situation.

Last season played 45 games for Portsmouth scoring 9 goals with no doubt lots of assists. Why would you not want a player with stats like these? Why would we just want him in a coaching role? If he still has the legs ( which he had last season) then he is obviously better than what we have got.

Very conflicted about this, he is no more than a stop gap solution to losing Andreau, maybe worth a short term deal till the end of season but only if he can prove his fitness.
Having said that allowing him to train at Ryton at his own risk may be something both parties could accept.

Yeah, agree. Not a massive fan, but at this level you would think he would do a job and he does score from midfield, something we have sadly lacked.

I am more interested in this season. Injured pre season, hasn't played at all and paid off, why? Because he is nowhere near match fitness.

Apparently he’s been let go as he’s injury will keep him out for the season. Which means until March IIRC. Free agent on a pay as you play deal could work at the end of the season for a playoff push and for the playoffs but unless his injury isn’t as bad as first thought can’t see there being any chance of him signing soon.

Looking at his Twitter he's been wearing a protective boot, so he's got a long way back. That said I think he looks after himself.

If Baker could get fit, I think he would still be great at this level.
He has played with several of our current squad before, and knows the managers tactics already. He had a great few months under Robins, getting forward and scoring goals last time (although I need to keep reminding myself this was 5 years ago). Looking at him and Doyle at Pompey would be a better proxy.
It really needs to be now though... March would be too late wouldn’t it?

Baker has had his time. We need to move on from him.
We cant be taking gambles on his fitness.
