Difference is baldock is what 22. There's 6 or 7 years between them. Doubt baldock wants to be playing with the kids at his age where hayes has another 2 years on his contract on good money. Wouldn't blame him for sitting on his contract considering he has a family to look after
I really hope we can sign him, he'd be perfect for us. He's at the perfect age and is that fast striker we need to play off Kermorgant. A lot of people are saying that BWP shouldn't be replaced, and I agree with that, but Baldock and BWP could compete for a place. I'm not sure what's wrong with that, whoever is in form and scoring goals, plays. We don't have any strikers REALLY pushing Kermorgant or BWP for a place.
He did well for West Ham last season, but to get much gametime as a small striker in an Allardyce team is close to impossible! I really think this is the perfect move for him too, he is potentially a Premiership quality striker. He won't achieve that sitting in West Ham's reserves though.
IMO Danny Haynes will seriously push BWP this season, especially if Bradley performs as he did in the second half of last season. It was likely watching Emile Heskey. In the end I was not getting out of my seat on one on ones as I did not expct him to score.
We will only go for Baldock if we sell Clarke and Hayes. There were scouts at Tonbridge on Tuesday taking a look at them both but neither played very well. I got this information from Damian Matthews who was also at the game.

Find it hard to understand this train of thought, he's never been prolific in his career, he's been at 3 championship clubs prior to us & didn't set the world alight at any of them .............which was the reason we managed to grab him for 50k. He has pace to spare but little end product. I'd love to be proved wrong as it seems we have no money to spend & desperately need our players to step up to the plate this season, but why do you think that Haynes will deliver when he so far hasn't in his career. Personally I think he's a league one player.

haynes is all pace but nowhere near as accomplished a finisher or player as BWP imo
Towards the end of the season he was playing like a target man. he had pace strength and even scored a couple of nice goals I actually think this could be a very good signing.
If he can read when Kermorgant is going to win a header or a flick-on he could be a real threat.
If BWP had a decent football brain he'd have scored over 30 goals last year - he just doesn't read the game well enough.
Don't get me wrong I really rate BWP but sometimes he is very frustrating to watch

Whoooooosh!
I dunno about whoosh! It just didn't make sense.
BWP scored once in about 3 games.............

Baldcock. I wish we could but unless we find some wedge he won't be coming here.
