Paul Cheesey Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Judging by his interview on Player it doesn't sound to me like he has any intention of being with us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Nightmare, can see them taking Flint. At work at the moment but when you say no intention do you mean as in he doesn't want to be or just that he believes he wont be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I think it was always painfully obvious that would be the case. But what did he say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Asked how he would look back at the season. He said it's been good. He came to get games and he did. His tone and demeanour wasn't one that sounded like he was coming back but he got a question and answered it. Don't think you can read too much into it. He'd be a good buy but at the right price. Rather have someone more comfortable on the ball if we are going to spend big on a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 To be fair it's pretty pie in the sky to think that he'd rather play for us than Villa. Villa will see him as an experienced defender with a full season of games at this level under his belt and very much an asset. They wont want to sell and chances are Baker will be a Villa first teamer next season. Can't blame him for wanting to play for the club he's contracted to.

Chairman Mao Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 1% chance of Baker staying, Villa through and through, 1st teamer in the Prem and will be in their starting XI next season. At least that's one decent play sorted for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citysimmo Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 At the Forest Q&A SL made it very clear that we would have no chance of keeping him with Villa wanting to hang on now that he has established himself as a very good defender at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I quite like Baker, but I'm not sure I'd see it as the end of the world if we lost him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman Mao Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 interestingly Villa fans don't seem to rate him much after a quick glance on their forum, probably gets exposed in the Premier League and I imagine is a walking red card, brilliant in the Championship though.

Unfortunately, as good as he can be there is always the risk of a Blackburn, Leeds or hull performance, where he either has or should have been removed at half time.

I'd sum up Nathan Baker by saying; most of the time he's not a liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. But having seen some of the gutless bastards that have worn their shirt this season at least they'd have seen some fight from him. If their new boss is British I fully expect them to give Baker a chance next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 He's just playing his cards close to his chest that all I read into the interview. Obviously wants to join a PL team but that's not gonna be back at Villa. Hes done a decent job whilst he's been here but he's a loanee so if he goes he goes.....
