Another thread on here, can't remember the poster, but they claimed that they had had it from a very good source that he was wanting to come, but the wage difference was an issue.

GM had a poor match, that's all. He doesn't look fully fit, and had an off day. As Westander says, he's similar to Hemed and Murray anyway, we either want different options or a big improvement on the those two, and I don't think Ulloa is much better.

If Baldock gets injured again after his return, I think we should look at replacing him as well, we need a striker who consistently plays, not who is consistently injured.
Don't mean to sound harsh but we have to progress.

No. No. No.
We need a striker with pace, good touch on the deck and full of yoof.
Move on.

He signed a new 2 year contract in August .

His (Baldock's) contract is up next summer; so, unless he can recover his fitness and make a significant contribution this season (and without further injuries) I imagine we'll be looking to letting him go, so a replacement would definitely be needed.

He signed a new 3 year contract in the summer

So won't be "let go" anywhere just yet.
I blame AZGull for not updating his Albion Contracts page!

That being the case, I hope his fitness problems are soon over and he is able to repay the club's faith in him.

He played for an hour, trouble free, with the u23s last night so I guess he's finally on way back.
Yes, I'd heard he'd played last night. Guess the key thing now is, can he stay fit. Will be interesting to see now whether he can make the step up to PL standard, as the PL is completely new territory to him. Guess that three year contract suggests the club thinks he can.
Exactly .. its for the manager and the recruitment team to decide and my assumption is that they feel they can get better !

i bet he is hoping that too
He has nothing to repay. Firstly, he's helped get us promoted. And the new contract offer isn't the club doing him a favour, we're protecting our investment too, he's worth a good chunk on money.

I am guessing most players we are interested in would be under contract.
What point is it you are trying to make?

Nothing other than this is probably a vital fact to miss out from your anecdote about him being a player we couldn't afford
Perhaps the fact that his style of play is also very similar to GM and Hemed and CH said frequently he was looking for something different up front might also be a clue.
With his fitness record, I would suggest a three year deal is something of a risk, which I hope turns out to be worthwhile. And who said anything about doing him a favour?
It's a risk our club are taking for the benefit of the club.
That's what you implied when saying you hope he can repay the club. That suggests he's indebted to us.
