Sam Baldock

YAY ... back to the 11.32 pm press releases LOL

[itchen_dan]

I'm just waiting for the inevitable - Sibley to appear on twitter and inform us to check the website in the morning for some big news.

[georgeweahscousin]

I would be very happy with this signing. The lad has massive potential.

If there is another player involved then he would need to agree terms as well - can't see Dons being able to match Dickson's wages for example, they must be pretty low payers.

[Gambol2K9]

According to fourth official, we've just bid 2 mil for him

I will raise you half a million and keep Dickson in the deal too !

 

The MK Dons forums are quoting £3.5 million plus player.

[BUCKINGHAMSAINT]

I was told this evening that Baldock is expected to be joining us.

Damn and Blast ... we got rid of Pulis too soon!!

Will be pleased if he does, we're putting together a nucleus of a team that could play together for years.

[JackanorySFC]

I hate MK Dons, disgusting club. Glad to hear we are taking their best player, fingers crossed they won't replace him and fail to get promoted. Scum.

[Guan 2.0]

Maybe part of the reported fee is to cover dickson's wages?

[SparkySaint]

This would be a great signing. Fingers firmly crossed

A bit of pace, right place right time and a long shot, good potential if he makes the step up.

[BUCKINGHAMSAINT]

It's the talk of Stadium:MK!

 

Interestingly enough that the local MK paper is reporting this evening that an unnamed club has had a bid turned down today. That's the way we do business if I'm not mistaken.

 

He would fit the squad profile as I know his personality would sit with NA & co very well. He's no Billy Big-B*****ks in fact he's just the opposite.

 

It all makes sense to me all round.

[Bailey]

Deal very close last I heard but not quite over the line just yet.

 

Very happy if it goes through. Sure, I'm biased but the fans will take to him.

 

Very good finisher, young and has bags of potential.

 

Like a young version of Connolly.

[Saint J 77]

I saw his goals at the weekend. Two great goals and one typical goal poacher finish. He looked sharp. What I'd like to know is does he have the pace we are currently lacking from our forward line?

[Badger]

Any more than £2m is excessive, otherwise a better value deal than many suggested at £6m or even Sharp at £3.2m.

 

Hope Dickson is not released.

[Colinjb]

If it weakens the franchise i'm happy. Aside from the Skates they are the only entity in football that genuinely makes my skin crawl.

 

The strike he produced against us to make it 2-0 has stayed long in the memory. Thank heavens for Jonno that day.

[Give it to Ron]

Any more than £2m is excessive, otherwise a better value deal than many suggested at £6m or even Sharp at £3.2m.

 

Hope Dickson is not released.

 

Not as excessive as 12m for a 17 year old league one striker that a manager doesnt trust for a 5 minute run out when 3-1 up and have 2 away goals!

Does it really matter how much it costs if its 1 or 2 million over the odds if A) his goals keep us up 2) Gets us to play offs 3 ) beat the Skates?

[Raging Bull]

Seem to remember he scored a cracker from outside the box against us at ours last year.

ok goal, more to do with bad defending. wouldnt complain though down our end

[Ashby Saint]

LOL at the West Ham fan on twitter that tweeted some guy in San Francisco about signing for them (he happened to be called Samuel Baldock).

[Stattmeister]

Their forum talks of seaborne/barney(!) going t'other way? I know it's only speculative, but nonetheless. I'd be less enthused with this move if any core squad players go. They can have someone like Holmes if they fancy it?

[Badger]

My recollection was in the box, after defenders/midfield allowed him too much time/space and it took a deflection.

 

(Good job you and I are not being called to give evidence of a hit and run isn't it ?)

Not quite outside the box but a good finish, I think KD could have done better stopping it though maybe. I just hope he has pace as we seriously need some up front.

If Seaborne went then we would definitely need another CB. Can't see it being Barney except on loan coz of his court case. Surely MK Dons wouldn't take a player at risk of jail time.

[Colinjb]

Seaborne wouldn't be going, he is currently a first choice CB.

 

It'll be either Dickson or Barnard........ Most likely Dickson.

[S-Clarke]

More from an MK Dons source:

 

Mkdan08 Daniel rodger

 

 

 

baldock for 2 Mill Plus A player from #saints who is called Barnard. No confirmation yet.

[Raging Bull]

I rest my case.

 

Note to self, look it up yourself you lazy bugger!

[DG]

Would be surprised if it was Barnard...how's his case going?

[S-Clarke]

If it is Barnard who's included in the deal, then it looks like we're freeing up for another striker as well as Baldock.

[Ed Rooney]

If we do sign him I would be more than happy with it. Sam Baldock and a centre back before deadline would really give us a strong squad

[beatlesaint]

Cant see Barnard going, what would be the point of giving him a new contract only to offload 6 weeks later ?

[Colinjb]

Let us not forget that Lee Barnard signed a contract extension last June..... It would be madness if he went as a makeweight.

 

Beatlesaint beat me to it.

Seems quite odd, but I've been quite suspicious about his absence from all of our squads so far (U21's / Carling Cup / League). He was almost ready before the Leeds game...

[SuperSAINT]

Be surprised if it was Barney. Very surprised.

[Badger]

Seaborne wouldn't be going, he is currently a first choice CB.

I would not want to release either at this stage frankly. LB remains a cult hero,and his case aside, I think he can make an impact still. Dickson has as much to offer as Harding, moreso going forward,and could play LM if required.

 

Won't they take Holmes and Forecast ?

Now there's a plan we could all appreciate! Well, with Forecast anyway.

 

As someone who sits firmly on the 'Harding' side of the LB debate, I personally feel it would be kinder to send Dickson to a club where he could get regular football without playing potentially third fiddle after the two Dans.

[beatlesaint]

Holmes appears to be ahead of Dickson for left midfield and we all know that no professional club would even look at Forecast......unless like Pulis he has a famous father who could loan them a decent player from his club for looking after the kid :-)

[SFKA South Woodford]

Let's throw Puncheon back at them!

[Gambol2K9]

I cant see Dickson getting a game for us anytime soon, shame as i do rate him. Would prob be a good move all round.

[S-Clarke]

@Moose_talkSPORT heard from great source in MK the WHU have match 2.00 million bid from Southampton for Baldock.100%sure this is correct"

[Badger]

Let's throw Puncheon back at them!

 

Who knows,they may even be prepared to take him back ?

[S-Clarke]

Let's throw Puncheon back at them!

 

There is no way in hell that Punch would drop back to L1, he see's himself as a premiership player.

Oh bugger.

Is it my imagination or do WHU keep turning up to make an offer just after we do?
