Baker signs for Morecambe.

Just noticed on teletext that Carl Baker,one time transfer target,has moved to Morecambe for "an undisclosed fee believed to be larger than the £25,000 they paid to land Steve Walters in 2000".
Whilst I know the club won't be held to ransom over transfer fees, just wondering if we have that sort of money to spend ??

Re: Baker signs for Morecambe.

This was news yesterday. My contact in Morecambe says the fee was at least £50,000, which is a massive gamble in my opinion.

They've also signed David Artell, the big hoofing centre-half from Chester.

Re: Baker signs for Morecambe.

The fee was NOT £50K.

The fee COULD eventually be around that BUT certainly no more and certainly NOT payable now.

It's a package deal, as are nearly all deals these days.

a superb signing IMHO and we are hoping to get at least £50,000 from Carlisle for Danny Carlton so just re-investing those proceeds , although we will have to cough up something for Matty Blinkhorn as Blackpool are going to a tribunal.

Package... fee... whatever. £50,000 is about right then.

Re: Baker signs for Morecambe.

I think it's a good signing and a pretty good deal. This lad has been well watched and we've been impressed. I think now he's going to have a steadying influence in Sammy and Mark lillis that he'll progress as a player and I believe the fee may eventually be seen as a snip.
Anyway, what's that Mauro Almeida like?

Probably the flag gave you that bit of impetus to get up.

I'll never forget Bentley's face when he read it.

Almeida? Seemed Ok to me, bit unlucky with knocks early on, then we got Antwi on loan, so he didn't get a chance.
