The Sam Baldock 'Saga'

Colunga and baldock. CMS off??

There's always one...

and...

No

Going to p boro I heard

Why on earth would we want that to happen? Why would he want to step down a league? Would Posh have the required funds anyway despite the sale of BA?

Would not surprise me at all if that's true. Last year of his contract. So the club may choose to cash in. I think highly of CMS and would be sad to see him go. Baldock and Colunga I would imagine would be seen as upgrades though.

 

[Rod Marsh]

I'm convinced CMS is off now. I can't see us having COG, Colunga, CMS and possibly baldock if we only intend to play one up top. I'd be sad to see him go but I can't see the club letting him run down his contract.

The first three are all very different players, and the 4th one in your list hasn't signed (as you note). 3 strikers is the bare minimum we need. Other than that, I agree fully with you.

I think the opposite. I think he is integral to Sami's plans - his tireless running is pulling defences all over the shop and creating space for the others to exploit. New contract in the offing I reckon.

I hope so!

My thoughts. Plus we don't just play 1 up top all the time anymore so need 4 strikers IMO

I would have thought that Colunga, who has scored goals at La Liga level, would be more than Baldock's equal. I'm not sure that the club needs to go throwing seven figures in Bristol City's direction.

Option to get Sam Baldock in January transfer maybe and half the price.

I think Colunga is substantially more talented than Baldock

 

[Lawson]

Baldock has contributed nothing to the Bristol City side so far this season, no goals, no assists and in the matches i have watched him he has been completely unimpressive. One good season in league one does not warrant paying a million, particularly when he looked so poor in the championship the last time around. hopefully we concentrate on getting an actual star striker.

 

[HantsSeagull]

really can't see us signing baldock as well - think we have gone to option 2 by signing colunga. still think/hope there will be one more though

 

[B.W.]

I think the opposite. I think he is integral to Sami's plans - his tireless running is pulling defences all over the shop and creating space for the others to exploit. New contract in the offing I reckon.

Spot on.

 

[HantsSeagull]

also there is no way the club is going to let CMS run his contract down so either he will get transferred or sign an extension.

Goes to show. A talented scouting network can pick up players for next to nothing, whilst others end up paying large sums of money. I can't understand the rhetoric concerning the need to spend vast sums on a forward. We just need to look deep and far for the right player, who will often come for a fraction of such costings.

In the main, I agree, but I believe strikers are different... very, very lucky to get a good one at our level for peanuts...

He will not want to go back to Peterborough now.

Extension likely as he has stated that at last after three years a manager is playing him the way he always wanted (as well as most NSCers!).

I like the guy and want him to succeed just not convinced it's gonna happen. Hope I am wrong.

Well called TSB

Gracias amigo.
Just typical Brighton to be linked with a bloke for AGES and then get someone completely out of the blue instead.
