Love Carl Baker anyway - but a little bit more now!

would be surprised if theres been no interest purely on the number of goals he got last season. does seem pretty settled in Cov but anywhere but here must be tempting with all this going on.

On the other hand - maybe a scheming opportunity to get more people neutralised - or even onside!

And for him to be grassed up by someone at the fans forum in only the first question (from the floor anyway)

He's Coventry thru and thru. He loves this club and its fans and he wants whats best for him and his teammates. Good on you sir!

Certainly professionally deserves better than we can offer him!!

I agree. When he moves on (as he won't be here for the rest of his career. If he is, I will.....well I don't know what I'd do but I'd think of something), he will probably do the same. Sure as hell can't see his kids buying the new Cov shirt every season 'cus dad once played for them and we are long term fans'.
If they did, I'd be amazed (and impressed as its always nice to see kids wearing CCFCH tops instead of the predictable ones (Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal etc)

yeahh, but im sure they will keep an eye out. when i went to school, i couldn't comprehend people supporting other teams other than cov. i remember vaguely, a kid who switched from supporting man u, then arsenal etc depending on who won the premiership. i just couldn't understand this as i've supported CCFC from day 1 in my life
maybe they've got the sky blue bug

I don't think that'd be too bad, he's not getting younger, he's a top earner, he's quite inconsistent, he's a great guy and role model for the club, but if given the opportunity, I'd probably cash-in.

agreed. only business wise. personally, i think since he became captain, he's excelled.

think it's about time for Ms Seppala to host a forum, after all she's been to a 'handful of matches' last season

He will command a fee, so he will be off anyway.

So you wouldn't consider a bid for Baker?

He's a good player with touches of class, but every player has their price, and at 30 going on 31, and given he's a somewhat inconsistent performer, it may be best to consider selling while he's worth something, also, factor in that he's a top earner, and some people have highlighted the need to reduce the wage bill.
Whilst last season was a fantastic season for him by all accounts, and he receives harsh criticism, but, inconsistency is still in his game.

To be fair, if your dad was a professional footballer, you'd probably have supported whoever he played for. That's probably the case with most footballers sons, with them ending up as slightly confused adults with soft spots for lots of clubs!
On Baker, he did say last season that with the responsibility of captaincy and with his family now settled in the area, he was utterly consumed by football last season in a way that he has never been in his career. He said on numerous occasions how much he loves the club and both on and off the pitch, his behaviour suggests exactly that. Of course it's a bit different to the love of a supporter who has followed a club all of their life.
Well done Carl, just hope the bastards can be ousted from the club before we lose you whilst in administration!

Selling Baker or any other is not the problem buying and replacing is!!!!!! someone like a Baker who has Quality in this league comes at a cost that will be out of reach if we groundshare..So Selling quality for a few quid now, will costs more down the line, short term gain for a long term loss, pretty much what SISU have done all along.

He isn't good enough to play for a decent championship side anyway, he'd only be a squad player at best for the majority of championship clubs.

Inconsistent? He was our player of the season! You have no idea. If he is sold we become a pub team, L2 here we come.
