I'd imagine he'd be at best 3rd choice, and more likely 4th choice CB for which he is fine. How many clubs in this division will have a better 3rd or 4th choice than Baker?

Ive said this about a couple of others as well, but lets see what they are like in 6months time after working in a good set up under good coaching staff and fitness technicians before we slaughter them. Baker at least seems to have the right attitude and the right physical abilities.

Dear Hamburg,

Fuck off.

Dr Xia said he's staying

Clark can go, I think Baker will do ok

If Ayew has a release clause as is likely, then there's fuck all yhe club can do yo keep him.

The player can reject the move. Jamie vardy for example arsenal

And his fitness ....

... But apart from those three things .....

i was at telford, he's really trimmed down, I was quite impressed with him and Elphick as a back two

Guzan is one of a few who I doubt are poisonous but whom have been around too long through successions of insipid awfulness. He needs a move as much for his own good as ours.

Exactly my thinking move on has his time but became stale and complacent best all parties he leaves

If these 6 are leaving :
Guzan
Richards
Sinclair
Gana
Sanchez
Veretout

And add Lescott Bacuna Agbonlahor (maybe ayew, Westwood and Clark with teams interested ) that is a superb amount of players out -12 ! I don't think that is going to happen. It would be too much wouldn't it???

Fwiw I can see agbonlahor staying merely as no takers the rest could leave it deals right but may have to stay due to too many players leaving

That said all those players out would be a 'complete overhaul'

You're all forgetting Baker's fifty pence head.

... and the fact that he gets 'injured' at every other corner ... and it's not the fact that he can't pass so much as the fact he can't kick a ball.

Nice lad but comfortably the worst footballer in the squad.

I think there is enough with Baker to keep him unless someone offered 5 or 6 million for him.

If Baker is a regular starter for us this season I will be worried and surely he is at a stage in his career where needs first team football.

As we need to trim the squad then one to let go if anyone wants him

I work with Bristol City fans and they are hoping we don't take Baker back, last season they all expected to go down and were on their way, what changed it for them was their improved defence with Baker in it,  which may mean they were really really shit before and just less so after or maybe he's just better in the championship than we remember him being in the premier league.  Good enough at least.

Baker's a perfectly able Championship defender for me, as is Clark. Fine back up for Okore/Elphick

IF we got offered £5-6 million pounds for Baker, I would snap there hands off

I would not be surprised to see him go out on loan again at some point this season
