TheCulturalBomb Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Well this is out of the blue. But it has to be a replacement for Flint. Gutting if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to have seen him go through his marker more often. Imagine he'd have made a strong challenge on Che Adams early doors? Flint could've been more imposing than he was. Decent....2 years left on contract. Mmmm, wondered this too. Was Baker allegedly on £40k of at Villa? Agree with this, always thought the same about Jamie McCombe, far to nice for a for big ugly center half!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping he would get back in the side but seems unlikely if we sign Baker. Not if we concede fewer goals than last season, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Flint and Baker, awful GA -71 Flint and Wright, awful GA -66 Baker and Wright? The extent to which Flint is overrated is on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, Middlesbrough - a club that know a thing or two about defenders and stopping the opposition scoring - have signed Flint, not Baker. Unless this is simply the left foot/right foot thing...

Unless this is simply the left foot/right foot thing... It's possible Villa simply didn't want to sell to them. They might see it as selling to a promotion rival. Also, maybe we offset some of the Kodjia add-ons in this deal. That would also be more attractive to Villa if their asking price for Baker was high.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 PISANO - FLINT (WRIGHT) - BAKER - MAGGS A very defensive back 4 which I feel we need to be strong this season, push Bryan forward more and gives us some serious height for long throws and corners. Our 'Weakdefensive should be no more COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkRed! Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 A great signing. A no-nonsense footballer with PL experience and just the right age. Very good piece of business and an upgrade on Flint, if he is now to leave. Hopefully we can get two more over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All very possible, but Baker is going from Villa to us; that must say something about his ability/level, as well as the business of football.
