Think you need to go and have a lie down!!

Crazy decision not to terminate his loan, I wonder why we made that decision, perhaps something to do with the terms of the agreement, he's barely had a kick all season. 

Rumours today that Baker could join Leeds United on a permanent transfer. 

Needs to move on for the sake of his career, will never make it here.

He's a player I thought had great potential. Really weird how his career stalled after what was a successful spell at Vitesse. Just didn't fit in at all at Boro. Hope his career doesn't follow the McEachran path. He was never hyped like him, but he appeared to be very highly rated at the club, at Vitesse and by Southgate with the U21s. And there was never any question marks over his attitude either. 

Dun dun dun, is this the end of the loan army as we know it? A few 18 year olds moving permanently, Baker and Blackman now as well. The kids are catching on

Loaned for one year again.

Lewis Baker, 44 years young has joined Leeds United on a 7 year loan.

Lol yup just a loan. Too bad 

He's going to spend his entire career being loaned, isn't he?

I doubt he'll make it with us after this loan. He's not exactly better than our current midfielders bar the usual scapegoats

No point in selling him now, he is probably at his lowest value after last season. A decent season at Leeds and we will probably sell for a few million. 

Doubt a Championship club would spend that now. 

Bielsa is a lunatic but also one of the greatest tacticians the game has seen. If things go well Baker could really develop under him and go on to sell for a good price.

Baker played today for dirty leeds in their League Cup tie vs Bolton - here is a link to the highlight of a nice run & assist by Baker

 

I caught the last ten minutes or so of this last night. He looked really hungry and sharp. Hope he has a big year.

that is the El Loco Bielsa effect - wears off after 6 months

Lewis Baker scored a brilliant goal today for Reading in a losing cause

 

Belting goal, but why was it filmed on a potato?

Seems like he's been on loan forever. He really needs to leave and find himself a permanent club.

Probably the right type of player to play backup to Jorginho, doubt he'll be considered though.

Shame as I thought he was going to be better than RLC when both was playing for youth. Mind you at the same time I thought Boga was going to grow into a world beater with his great dribbling. Clearly I’m a sh*t judge!

I too thought both Baker and Boga would become top players. Thought Boga could be another Hazard - not sure what went wrong?!!

From what I heard and saw, Boga isn't that bad at Sassaulo.

Lewis Baker is now off to Fortuna Düsseldorf
