    Sign him, no. Invite him down for Thursday, absolutely.

    Do we have enough seats left? - He'd best get cracking if he doesnt want to miss out

    Patrick Bauer was a giant of a man and with a tad more pace may have reached the highest level. 
    With just 7 appearances in the last 3 seasons mainly because of injury for Preston, his career has surely ended at 32 but BFG will be much loved by Charlton fans for ever by the orgasmic end to the Play off final in May 2019.

    To be honest I had no idea how badly affected by injuries he'd been, 0 games this season.
    Yeah 11 games in the last 3 years I think.

    The prime version of Bauer we got, paired with Lloydy would be formidable at this level and even very decent above.

    Wouldn't like him back though, injuries well and truly taken their toll, and I wouldn't want the good memories tarnished.

    Amazing!

    There's a pattern here - Curbs/Mendonca/'98 to follow?

    Who will ever forget the last minute Wembley winner that got us into the Championship ?
    Alas the very good team that got us there lost half its members before the start of the next season
    I won't be at the Valley, but I know the FBG will get a hero's reception when he steps onto the pitch tomorrow

    Without wishing to piss on everyone's chips, the larger we make this event, the more history tells me we should be more worried. We don't  have a good track of beam-back's and 'Operations', do we!!??

    You wait until Paul Bacon and Kenny Achampong do the tunnel jump at the end .

    I love PB and he will forever be a hero but injuries have done a number on him , not worth the wages he'd command regardless of league. 
    I never understand this thinking ⬆
    He might have been on decent Championship money but he's not been a decent championship layer for a couple of seasons - HTF is he going to command those same wages at his next job?
    If he wants to carry on playing and is fit'n'strong enough to do so, he'll command   whatever the going rate is at the level he performs.  Good luck to him if some halfwit showoff like Sandgaard gives him the sort of contract he gave Chuks but that ain't likely is it?  Our current recruitment seems to be better configured than that.

    If PB is half the player he was 6 years ago, he'd be twice the player MG was before Christmas and a match for Alex Mitchell now.  If he needs to carry on earning, he'll play at whatever level he gets an offer, there's plenty of fulltimers in the national league earning money few of us currently pull down.

    perhaps him and Aneke could do a sort of jobshare?

    Love the BFG and he is of course a legend who will always be welcomed back as a visitor but sometimes it's best to leave things as just a beautiful memory rather than try to relive the past.

    I would say in the case of a defender who is the wrong side of 30 and has played a small amount of football in the past 3 years, this is one of those cases.

    Yeah. It's getting that feel about it..
    We're trying too hard. 
    Try and treat it like a normal game and What will be will be.

    Didn't realise just how little football he's had. 12 appearances in the last 3 seasons, makes Aneke look a regular. Hope it works out for him and Jacko.

    Great move for both Paddy and AFC if, as JJ says, he’s now fit again. Would love to see him playing consistently and well after the last couple of years he’s had.

    Always pay attention to Wimbledon results anyway, will have even more of an interest with BFG & Asiimwe being there.

    Really hope they sign Kanu as well as I think the move could suit both parties.

    Jobs for mates, typical, will probably see Ben Hamer, Tarique Fosu and Jake Forster-Caskey rock up next!

    No need to torture their medical department by signing BFG and JFC

    A fit Bauer will be a great asset for Wimbledon. I assume his contract though will reflect his patchy fitness record.
