ciderincornwall Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I dont want him... If he is SO against joining us then they can keep him. The damage of having someone with a sh!t attitude can do to a team could counter any skill he brings to the table. Not saying he will definitely resent being here, but the chance of it happening seems to strong to risk it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brislingwood Red Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 It's a shame our wage bill is so high, if we could of shipped out the deadwood (easier said then done) I would of loved to have signed both Wilson and Bikey, would of improved our back 5 ten fold just imagine... -------------------- HEATON -------------------- WILSON---------BIKEY-------------------FONTS---------CUNNINGHAM We'd have plenty of cover also with Foster able to play both RB and LB if need be, Wilson can also cover CB, Carey can cover RB and CB etc...very versatile setup we would have. Just a shame we're paying the price of our previous managers mistakes of signing deadwood on big contracts (step forward Mr Stewart) Although Del has proven to be shrewd in the transfer market so i'm sure he has a few ace's up his sleeve yet! I like that. Although I'm wary of past clubs stating Amougou is a different player once on a permanent deal, for a club with fans like ours he could become a fans favourite due to his nature. Wilson looks a very tidy player, steady, reads the game very well and looks keen to retain possession. Trees grow trunk upwards, an that would be a very championship capable foundation.

Dolman Block B Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I don't want any player who's heart isn't here Think that sums the situation up completely. It is known that City and W Ham have agreed a deal. That would then release the player to speak to the club. This 2 weeks ago. Then the player says publicly he wants to stay in London. That being the case do we really want him him without 100% commitment to our cause? I think not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBCFC Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Im not sure Baldock is quite as good as everyone is making out.....Less than 1 goal in 3 at league 1 level, and nearly 1 in 5 at championship level.....both at top teams in their respective leagues. Saw him against WH and he was anonymous, granted that was just one league game, but i get the impression he is a bit of a flat track bully, he needs to be playing in a slick, passing, attacking side otherwise he is going to virtually useless. Imagine him in our side last season? Generally long ball with little movement.....to fit a player like Baldock into our side we really need to be playing with a certain way. Would prefer Steven Davies, a more allround footballer and a class act at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notsobigfatdave Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 We seem to forget that Baldock signed a three year Contract with Wham in only Agust last year for 1.6 million ( and the salary that goes with it) That included an option of another year.....If baldock doesnt want to leave Wham thats his perogative and Big Sam cant do jack s about it.... Baldock is only honouring his side of the deal...Furthermore the Wham fans are most vociferous at letting their manager know what they think and if Baldock keeps knocking them in in freindlies and reserve games it will be difficult to ignore him...Why would any self respecting player want to come to City for less money when he has the opportunity to play in the Premier League (or not play as the case may)when he can sit it out on 15 k a week.? Unless he is a complete idiot of course. I would have thought if he was coming he would be here by now and settling into the squad and playing in the pre season games...on off on off on off ...worse than Burton and Taylor. (thats Richard and Elizabeth of course.) The stumbling block to Baldocks move to City either a loan or permanently would be his salary and his agent...nothing more. If he does come we will know that the owners have backed Del and splashed the cash which we havent got.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Time to give up on Baldock as well? This the lastest from "Knees Up Mother Brown" The same mate that told me about Morrison leaving last week just texted me that Baldock had a medical scheduled for Monday followed by a meeting on the subject of personal terms in Bristol. On Sunday night he expressed his wish to the staff that he wants to stay at the club but if they don't want him, he wants to go on loan for a year to a club in London. He will not leave the club permanently this transfer window. I've been told the Bristol City deal is off because Baldock didn't want to move out of London - but he's spoken with Crystal Palace (who were after him while at MK Dons) and is very close to a move to Selhurst Park. ?????????????????????????????? Apologies, didnt see Ciderup,s post What I heard was that Baldock was quite interested in moving to us, but his WAG was dead set against it. Source is my mate whose mate works with a relative of one of the staff. So that's bound to be spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, and no disrespect to the fairer sex, I would rather we did not have a player who is under the thumb of his Mrs. I mean, lets face it, he is probably the overwhelming bread winner and he should be a man and tell her to put up and shut up. On the other hand the story sounds like a very good yarn !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citywest30 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I live in hope that somewhere in this mess there might be a grain of fact that is reported, however there has been nothing, nothing at all, it just consists of mostly those that are trying to look a bit 'clever' in hoping that we sign someone they have mentioned. Which includes virtually every footballer either with a club or looking for a club, and then for some reason dialogue and arguments about these players are had as to the benefit (or not) to the club. However these players had no intention in joining City. Bit sad really. . Who are you to judge what makes someone 'sad'. This is obviously a rumours thread and there are loads of us who like to comment and speculate. If you want facts, why be on a forum that, by it's nature, is based on opinions. Stick to the news channels or official site. Lastly you criticise people who write things claiming they know what's going on and then in the same breath state, quite categorically that they had no intention of coming here. And you know this how? Rant over. Just leave us to speculate in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a nobody. He was a young gooner, rotting in their reserves, we plucked him and got him in the limelight. Without our 'gamble' of £500k on a nobody, he may never had been fully discovered. A true big time charlie refusing to train. And for him to openly state bcfc was the worst thing he ever did was shocking. I loved watching him but cant stand the bloke for such a joke statement!!

notsobigfatdave Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Disagree,if we sign him this I believe will be the main reason why, Nope wrong again.....if we sign him and I hope indeed we do it will be because his agent has agreed a workable salary package with Baldock commensurate with what he is on now....The fee wont come into it....Its Baldock we have to Satisfy sufficiently for him to want to terminate his contract not WHU...If he does sign he will be our highest paid player unless hes taken a massive pay cut !
