Wonder if this means this summers shopping is over? Okore, Clark, Richards, Baker, Crespo, Senderos. Even if Senderos goes I cant see us using 6 CB's. Little disappointed but overall very happy with the additions so not complaining at all. Adebayor on board, Clarks contract sorted and we are good to go imo.

Agreed on all points, but get Gardner out on loan and bring Cambiasso in for a year. That'd be great business.

Pleased for Baker. Always liked him, always plays like a proper centre back, true Villan and glad he's getting the opportunity to stick around. #futurecaptain

God that is lame giving him a new four year deal. Seems like a panic afterwards can't get lescott

Panic?

Does anything this club have achieved this summer strike you as "panic"?

Baker will always have resale value, a player that works as hard as he does and puts his body on the line like him will always be of value to somebody. Makes good financial sense to keep him on.

**** all to do with Lescott.

It just seems odd to me. We get a 2m offer from burnley then all of a sudden after the escort rejection he signs a new deal? That is strange very strange. Don't rate baker at all, to offer him a four deal is madness

I totally agree with the financial side comment. If this year has taught Fox & Co anything it will be to not allow contracts to dwindle until a players value becomes ridiculously low, or to the point of being held over a barrel by the player.

I like Baker. Committed, strong and dominant in the air. Been with Villa since he was 8, which is probably longer than quite a few on this forum have been fans.

On the other hand he isn't the quickest so he really needs to improve his decision making and reading of the game. He's got time on his side and is young for a prem CB without a lot of pace, so he could make it.

Also, just because he's signed a new deal, doesn't mean he'll not go out on loan.

Will be interesting to see what our CB options are when the transfer window closes slams shut.
