Ah I see okay. Thought you meant radio silence from an individual when asked about it.

Why is height a comparison? SH maybe looking for something different

True, but Peter Ward, Lionel Messi. Diego Maradona, Kenny Dalgliesh, Michael Owen and stacks of others tell me that shorter players with a lower sense of gravity are often great goal grabbers.

Don't forget Dean Saunders Kevin Kegan and many others! It also depends on the style of football we will be playing!

They were at Burnley and still are for the start of this season
Still taller than Leon Knight, and he scored a fair few goals I recall!
True, what he lacked in height, he also lacked in intelligence, personality or anything other desirable characteristic, but he averaged 1 goal per 3 games with us.

What kind of player is he? Does he play behind a front man, is he quick? I don't know much about him

Hilarious - great spot
I keep reading it as Baldrick
Perhaps David Burke has a cunning plan?

So what prompted the OP to start this thread anyway? Seemed a bit random, was there a rumour yesterday?
Anyway he would be ideal in a front 3 (or as Sami likes to play with 2 behind the main striker tucked in), playing off our other new Striker (whoever that is going to be)

If we are looking at Mason again, it suggests we might be losing patience on the Baldock deal.

Just watched a YouTube montage of his goals and I like the look of him. Can use both feet, is strong and doesn't try to be too clever. Does things simply and is a real poacher!
But he had Chris Iwelumo next to him and thrived, in a large part, as a result of that partnership. When we went to 3 up top in the championship with him, Carole and someone else short who's name escapes me, his goals almost completely dried up.
As for Baldock, I see him as a bit of a CMS-type. It wouldn't surprise me if with only a year left on his contract, we cashed in on CMS, Baldock replaced him AND we got another chap in.

I guess it'll be either Mason or Baldock, with another main striker to come in. Would be happy with either of those, Mason seems the more sensible/realistic option if they are intended to be backup/second striker option.
A million quid for the top scoring striker in league one last year. I appreciate he only has a year left on his deal but if we got him for that price it would be a huge bargain.
We need a replacement for Barnes, and for Hoskins, along with one for Leo.
O'Grady will be one of these.
This will stop the need for the short term loan strikers we've been taking.
