Jerryatric owl Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Apologies if already out and not claiming to be directly ITK but just heard from reliable source that Lewis Baker has upped and offed back to Chelsea. Apparently miffed at not being selected on Saturday. Another case of a young player believing their own hype? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wouldn't surprise me at all. McGugan's return makes him redundant here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 To be honest now McGugan is back for rest of season ,we dont really need him. Id rather use that money to sign a winger on loan . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerowl Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Reckon he was only signed in a panic me, coz we thought we might not get Mcgugan, I'd have tried him at RM personally probably better end product than Maguire Edited February 9, 2015 by parkerowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Was a strange signing by Gray, and if true, won't do much for our relationship building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Wouldn't surprise me at all. McGugan's return makes him redundant here. Not really. Injuries & suspensions happen to us all the time. We need strength in depth otherwise we go back to central midfielders like McCabe and Corry on the bench 'to make numbers up' rather than to come on and make an impact. With Maguire suspended, Hutchinson always questionable for Tuesday night games AND Semedo doubtful with this new toe infection it wouldn't surprise me to see Baker in the match day squad tomorrow night. It would also be a big mistake on our part to not make use of him while we have him. Otherwise we send him back and you just know he'll go to Derby/Forest or someone and do really really well.

parkerowl Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 If he gone gone I think it's probably a case of us terminating the loan deal, rather than him getting mardy the first time he's not in the matchday 18, which wouldn't look good going back to Chelski would it?

He's behind both McGugan and Lee for that creative CM role. Baker will be costing too much not to feature in our matchday squad. Use him or ditch him. Gray's selection Saturday spoke volumes. Trade Baker for something we need - a winger. Would be far more appropriate use of funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Maguire, Semedo and possibly Hutchinson out for tomorrow there's a place on the bench for him. Put it this way, I'd rather him come on than Maghoma... Lee is a yellow away from suspension & Semedo is 3 (which isn't hard to rack up when you're Semedo)...Hutchinson is always a flying tackle or step in the wrong direction away from games out as well. We need strength in depth in midfield. Otherwise we end up with players on the bench who Gray wouldn't bring on if all our midfielders were injured. And that's when games finish dull and drearily...with a whimper. Cos we haven't got the quality to change things.

Guest Sheff Owl Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I would be very surprised if we have terminated the deal, bearing in mind Gray talking about competition for places. Semedo feeling his toe.. Hutchinson is not far from a injury or red card. McGugan not match fit. Lee looking at a ban shortly. Coke is injured/lack match fitness. Melo needs time to settle. McCabe/Corry not in favour. Now if Baker feels that he wants to go then so be it, do you want players like that around?, if he is worried here about playing then what does he think will happen at Chelsea? Can't see how it's our fault or will effect our relationship with Chelsea if Baker want's to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad needs to play for his development - that's why he's here. If his path is blocked by McGugan and Lee, we're probably not the best place for him.
