i would add that if he does sign, his barbers in Epping gave him an excellent, modern day hair-cut but that if he doesn't sign then he had a complete bodge job with the barber clearly using a knife and fork.
I must admit I had never of heard of him until we were linked with him. However with the amount of posts about him, he better be the 2nd coming of Messi.
Never seen a player hyped up as much, will probably turn out to be be more Marcus Bent than Darren Bent!
He's a decent player. with regular football he'll get 15-20 goals a season. But both Yann and bwp are capable of that. maybe the money would be better spent elsewhere.

As we step up a league it will be good to have decent options in the squad - don't know if Baldock is that option - but don't feel we should rest on just BWP and Yann
Baldock is better than Hayes, Smith, Haynes and our youth players, and probably better than BWP so of course he would be good to have, but I only want him if we can actually afford him, and still be able to strengthen cm and cb
Baldock would be a great addition to our team because he can score goals. Whether he will be our 15-20 goal a season man remains to be seen purely because he is a striker that needs service. Bringing him in would certainly take pressure off of BWP. I don't personally see Yan as our main goal threat this year, but a very important part of the team nonetheless due to his sheer work rate and determination. But we need out and out goalscorers as well. Baldock could well fit that bill. Having him, Yan and BWP in the team can only be good for us. Should it happen that is
From my brother who was at a party at the weekend with an ex Charlton player who has a role at the club. Not a wind up. As mentioned on another thread, we know the family.
Not much that we don't know but in a nutshell.
'Need to move on a couple of players first, Baldock is a possible but he wasn't letting too much out, however he did say that the owners were trying to free up money somehow'!
I would like for us to bring in Baldock. I like his style and we need another striker. I take some comfort that although he is toast at West Ham he hasn't actually gone anywhere yet so I guess there is still a small possibility that he will sign for us. Having said that I doubt the rumours yesterday were very accurate. I live in hope.
Always thought we were interested and he knew it, but thought the price was too high. I thought we were trying to be clever and get him to refuse all other moves and then come here on the cheap. Other clubs do it so why not us..... then I thought not very likely

I mean for WHU since 2011 he has played 23 and scored 5 thats one goal every 4.6 games.
BWP has a goals to games ratio at Charlton of 2.1 games per goal.
Yann has a goals to games ratio at charlton of 3 games per goal.
On that id say not first 11, but could grow to be.

If I had to bet who'd get more goals next season, him or BWP I know who I'd go for.
