Nathan Baker?

[thegreatdane]

I would personally have him back next season starting alongside who ... not sure.

What is everyone else's opinion, any other loan players you would want back featuring? Gardner?

[Clark W Griswold]

Fuck that.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Fucking crap

[aj2k77]

He's shit.

[ChicagoLion]

I like him

[ADVILLAFAN]

He gives his all, but I don't think he's really good enough. Don't think he exactly shone for Bristol City last season.

Would give Gardner a go though.

Think Robinson struggled to make too much of an impact at Preston last year either.

[arnie66]

The Bristol City fans down here really rated him this season  - just sayin !!

[Dave P]

I would welcome Baker back but its a big decision to who he would play with if he was back in favour.  Clark would be the obvious candidate but two left footers spells disaster.

[in exile]

Would he want to come back or will he seek another loan move?

The Bristol City fans down here really rated him this season  - just sayin !!

My Brother-in-Law is a City fan and he tells me that he and all his mates loved him, thought he was mostly excellent, with the odd brain-fade...

[KevinGage]

He's not the Great White Hope, but he's not on the shit list either.

Baker, Gardner, Clark and Steer should all have a part to play next season. Though not necessarily guaranteed starters.

[andyh]

I'd rather play him then either of those ****** Lescott and Richards.
Mind you, I'd rather play any one than them two.

Baker would provide half decent cover if he comes back. Probably just good enough in short bursts, until he invariably gets injured.

[Leicester_Villian]

I believe Baker would be fine either as first choice or back up in the Championship ....it is his level ...he proved this last year ....how many knockers saw him play?

It amazes me how many people don't rate Baker and yet Gardner who few will have seen much of is the saviour ......

Whilst I hope Gardner proves to be a hit so far he has not done it in a Villa shirt and at Forest from what I can gather did well but was nothing special

[West Derby Villan]

I would bring Baker back as back up at least. At least he is an honest defender, something that we were sadly missing last season. I realise he's reckless but he doesn't hide and gives his all, all of the time.

[OCD]

It's probably a question of Baker or Clark but not both. If Clark has a release clause and there's interest then Baker will be back and he's probably fine as a first-teamer at this level and squad member in the Premier.
