Give it to Ron Posted 24 August, 2011 Share Posted 24 August, 2011 Just for Hypo: Busy day at #westham. Formal £1.4million offer for Baldock at MK Dons and Scott Parker heading for exit door. #Spurs close to agreeing fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 I wonder if their bid is less than Peterborough's or MK Dons have upped their valuation. They are hoping for an auction.

itchen_dan Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Quite a few Dons fans on Twitter saying that it's Saints who made the new bid and he is very close to signing for us. http://www.mkdons.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10420~2431799,00.html IF it is Saints, he will be a very good signing IMO.

SuperSAINT Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Given the way he's started the season, and the crazy figures quoted for other players, I'd be very happy with Baldock. Bailey said we were tracking him last season as well. He'd compliment our other strikers very well, has stepped up a gear this season and fits in with our policy.

He's not the big name many crave, but give him a year at this level and he could become one of the better players outside the top flight. I watched him very closely down at St Mary's when we came back from 2-0 down, he was electric and I remember breathing a sigh of relief when he was subbed (we went on to win after he went off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 the hatrick he scored the other day was superb and he looks like he is absolutely flying right now. He looks like he has the ability and confidence to create and score goals off his own back rather than needing them supplied on a plate. I like that kind if striker a lot. He was "excited" with the move to the Posh. I would have thought what we've got going on right now might. I notice the following "I don't want to name the club, the club deserves the respect to not be named." quote from the manager. There seemed to be great respect between the two clubs when they agreed to the postponement, I wonder if that wording is significant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allow me some creative license here, but if Billy Sharp was the Robbie Fowler of the championship, and Maynard is the Thierry Henry of the championship, Baldock is probably the Michael Owen of league 1.

As soon as I read that I immediately realised that it stinks of Saints and Cortese - keep everything hush hush and behind the scenes as Nige would say. Now you mention the postponement, that also fits in with the respect quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember he didn't like to get the ball in tight areas and tended to release it a tad quick when under pressure. For a player who should be playing on the shoulder of the last defender, also dropped deep a lot. But his pace, movement, ability to work goals out of nothing and willingness to track back do tick a lot of boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Would be very pleased if we got Baldock- is in great form at the moment and with Adkins' track record with young strikers he could be a really great player in a year or two.

Ashby Saint Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 For under 2m I'd be happy. Good player and young with good potential, which we don't have in the striker department. Still, it does appear we don't want to spend much right now. Unless they just think he's better than Maynard. Suppose there's always January and loans though. Or maybe Cortese wants to build a fund for if and when we go up. Not sure they think he is better than Maynard now but he has a lot of potential. He is certainly better value for money if the around £2M is to be believed compared with £5M plus for Maynard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 My brother is a mk st holder and loves Baldock. i have seen him play a few time and he is very similar in style to Owen. lots of pace and a good finisher. unfortunately he is also as fragile as Owen and spends a lot of time out injured. if he can stay fit he would fit into our team and style of play very well.

I think it's more who has bid the most, us or WHU, and which bid gets accepted. From various bits of info coming out tonight, Baldock to Saints is looking likely.
