In all the excitement, 2 points to make:
1) people seem to be having selective memory syndrome - when he was here, most people would moan about for his tendency to have one good game in 10 and to duck out of tackles - he wasn't a great for us by any means and didn't make any impact in the season we were relegated from the Championship
2) they do say in football "never go back" - look at McSheff - how many times is it the case that the returning player does better second time round than the first time?
That said, he'd be a lot better than some of the dross we picked last season so would only be an improvement as things stand.
I've posted numerous times in the past about this. He was always having to cover for Christies forays into the opposition box and lost a major part of his game for the sake of the team.
I for one will be happy if he comes back (Baker not Chrisite).
Not really, Christie was still learning his craft at City.Strange how Christie played in the Championship last season and Baker in League 2.

I always liked him. And he would play his heart out for us as he would want to be here, something which has been lacking of late
Clearly you're not still having flashbacks of his pusillanimous display at Southampton away on the last day of the relegation season, amongst many other anonymous, ineffectual performances for us during his time with us.

Yes but there were over 30 games this season when you could have said that about the 11 on the pitch, i never said he was good, I said I liked him, but I do take your point consistency was not a strengthClearly you're not still having flashbacks of his pusillanimous display at Southampton away on the last day of the relegation season, amongst many other anonymous, ineffectual performances for us during his time with us.
I like baker got quite good skill and turns but lacks that couple of yards of pace especially when in the championship, but that said he probably has my vote on the best performance in a game at the Ricoh against Birmingham I think it was in Richard Shaw's first game in charge he were fantastic that night
I'd have him back but not as captain. Remember him waving his arms around shouting at everybody when he was out of position or didn't have the ball passed to him? Used to drive me mad.He had some bad games but more good than bad I think? I like him he wants to play for city his kids support city I would get him back and make him captain
Thought so too. Although we some how won, Baker was fantastic and was ripping our defence apart all game.His performance for MK Dons back in 2015 against us was sensational, I think he would do a great job

Sounds like Jim O'Brien to me!!

Was told today by someone who would know that Baker has had no contact from us.
No, I was told by someone as of today he's had no contact from the club.Think that's referring back to last year when he wanted to come back but had no contact.

Coventry City boss Mark Robins is believed to be keen to bring former fans' favourite Carl Baker back to the Ricoh Arena.Where did the rumour of him re-signing originate?

The Telegraph understands that the Sky Blues' boss is hoping to secure a return for the skilful forward, whom he made captain when he inherited the player back in his first spell in charge in 2012.
