There is no way in hell that Punch would drop back to L1, he see's himself as a premiership player.

@Moose_talkSPORT heard from great source in MK the WHU have match 2.00 million bid from Southampton for Baldock.100%sure this is correct"

Seems quite odd, but I've been quite suspicious about his absence from all of our squads so far (U21's / Carling Cup / League). He was almost ready before the Leeds game...

If it is Barnard who's included in the deal, then it looks like we're freeing up for another striker as well as Baldock.

More from an MK Dons source: Mkdan08 Daniel rodger baldock for 2 Mill Plus A player from #saints who is called Barnard. No confirmation yet.

Yep, he looks very handy. Sort of player that would fit in with what we're doing here...young/hungry/potential etc. And you can't fault Nigel's ability to spot good striking talent...(martin patterson, gary hooper, Paul Hayes, jermaine beckford etc..)

Cheers - watch him get slapped by NC though!

I'd be disappointed to loose Dicko, I still think he has something to offer us....but as we've just splashed close to £2m on a new LB, he'll struggle to get near.

I think he's been pretty much spot on regarding any transfer's. He didn't confirm we'd sign Maynard, or JayR - but he did confirm out interest in them, which was true. I think we see Baldock as better value, which I have to agree with if I'm honest.

His start with us was cocked up by his lack of pre-season, this was due to Romanov at Hearts dragging his heals in any transfer. Once we did get him, we started to see the best of him around October-November time, only for him, along with Rasiak to mysteriously drop from being first team players. After that he didn't really get going again for us, and then the following season we decided to waste him by using him as a left back. He was such a waste of a talent, our current management would have got so much more out of him.

He's quick, can play in behind or on the flank IIRC. Young, lots of potential etc, and will not cost £6m!!!!

Yep, ticks alot of boxes. He's not the big name many crave, but give him a year at this level and he could become one of the better players outside the top flight. I watched him very closely down at St Mary's when we came back from 2-0 down, he was electric and I remember breathing a sigh of relief when he was subbed (we went on to win after he went off)

WHUFC_News West Ham News Sam Baldock may not be heading to West Ham now, Southampton have come in with a bid and he is likely to join them now.

Does tick alot of boxes, pacey, in behind, young and can improve etc... but exactly the same can be said of Baldock, who looks like he could be ours.

Seems like there is something in this, this is being reported by the local MK paper: MKCitizenSport Simon Downes We're hearing that Southampton are the latest side in for Baldock. In fact, he's rumored to be heading south for talks tonight. #MKDons

It's been MLG'd

Thought he was younger than that. Oh well.

Cheers for sharing though. FWIW he's a good player, young too and left sided...

A taxi driver?

Was linked with Reading a week or so ago, think they had a bid rejected.

Yep, was thinking the very same.... "See new signings Jack Cork, Steve De Ridder, and Danny Fox strut their stuff on the hallowed turf as the squad will also gather for the first time on completion of this summer's transfer window."

No one really knows for sure though do they? I haven't seen any concrete proof that we ''pulled'' out of the Gorkss deal to pursue Fontaine. And Warnock has a right nerve saying that, QPR have been dithering for weeks over Puncheon as they couldn't afford what we wanted - now they have had their takeover all is fine!

TBF that statement just sums up your lack of football knowledge rather than anything wrong with our scouting team.
