didierforever 7,349 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If lukaku goes, he will be the 5th CM ahead of romeu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Not quite sure why Mourinho said Baker is staying but Swift is going on loan, they're the same age and both are definitely ready for a loan after the seasons they just had for U21s. We have quite a lot of depth in CM at the moment so I doubt he'll get meaningful minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Boro trying to get Baker now, and the deal for Bamford is also close. What a side Boro will have if these two deals come off.http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/f...-baker-7617482 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I thought Baker was going to be kept around along with Solanke, Izzy and Boga? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ja1 1,166 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Mourinho said that but I'm not really sure why especially with Swift going on loan, their development has both been very similar upto now and both are probably ready for football league loans, don't think it'd be beneficial for Baker to spend another season with U21s.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Mourinho said that but I'm not really sure why especially with Swift going on loan, their development has both been very similar upto now and both are probably ready for football league loans, don't think it'd be beneficial for Baker to spend another season with U21s.Maybe he's waiting to see what happens with the homegrown situation. Could be we end up loaning out Van Ginkel if we can't ship off one of Cech, Torres or Mikel.Then we might need Baker around. I also think he's a far better player than Swift. Those set-pieces alone are incredible and he's a much better passer of the ball, both short and long. He hit one to Kiwomya last night which was 50 yards at least and landed inch perfect. Then he had a passage where he linked up play with two sumptuous lay-offs. The guy has undoubted quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dy-lan 142 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 For him to sign a 5yr deal makes me feel like he was possibly told he will get his first team chances as long as he is willing to compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles 9,790 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If Van Ginkel does go out on loan I hope Baker gets some minutes every now and again. I don't think he would look out of place in a strong 11. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
