He's but a poor man's Ollie Banks. Can't believe Baxter's still only 25. Get him signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 If Shez was interested and it was doable you'd imagine he would have been in early in pre season. Sadly I don't think this is going to happen now, which baffles me as it seems a no brainer for all concerned. Strange he's not gone to, or even been linked with, anyone else though - maybe there are still issues with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Well he's not played for 18 months, that's one issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 He's got natural ability in bucket loads so if he's fully fit he'll do the business I've no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall he had hardly played due to his indiscretions and run in's with the law. Don't take this as gospel as memory isn't my strong point.

He'd played for Tranmere season before and I assume Everton stiffs after that. We should be able to find a playmaker who actually likes playing football and isn't partial to being banned for months on end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to suspect the same wouldn't happen again if he joined us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's true that we've signed him on a three year deal you've got to think he's really impressed Shez in training. Unusual to sign a triallist on such a long contract you'd have thought.
