Kid in the Riot Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 This must spell the end for Flint as: 1) Baker would not have joined to sit on the bench behind Flinty and Wright; and 2) LJ has confirmed (in Tenerife) that he won't be playing 3 at the back.

RUSSEL85 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 If this does happen along slide Flint leaving then fair play to the club, I dont think we would get a better replacement at this point in the transfer window, with Championship experience, similar type of player etc. It looks as though we gain financially out of the deal too.

Ska Junkie Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Just chatting to my postman who's been following City for years and is very knowledgeable. I forget that Bailey is naturally right footed like Flint so signing Baker, a leftie, would mean Bailey can return to his natural position IF Flinty's off. My postie nailed it straight away! As much as I like Flinty, this is starting to make sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie BCFC Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 A great player who got a lot of praise from Villa last season but do we really need him? For me even if Flint leaves this is a position we don't need as Baker and Wright are very similar players to each other. Don't get me wrong I'm excited if this is the calibration of players we're bringing in but I just think we should we spending it in other areas.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I remember Baker and Flint on the verge of a really strong and impressive partnership last time around. But doesn't Nathan Baker have some sort of persistent back problem? He had his moments in a pretty poor season and when he played well- he was class but seemingly let down by a certain lack of enthusiasm/disconnect combined with the fact that he looked like he could get sent off at any moment in an El Abd type way. Was it Baker who was sent off and a number of posters on here felt it was deliberate cos he didn't want to play? Or was that just Thatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Baker and Wright could be an excellent partnership personally. BW back in his preferred right side and both excellent with the ball at their feet. If we can get them some better protection from midfield and a better GK behind them I'd be really excited to line up like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Just now, cynic said: I wouldn't agree with that at all - the reverse infact, especially Wright. In his defence Cynic, he was playing on his 'wrong' side. Once he's back on the right hand side, his natural side, he should be better with the ball on the ground shouldn't he?
