Apologies if posted elsewhere but what is going on with our 15million man?
There have been rumours he's injured, rumours he's been dropped, rumours he's unsettled and is looking for a move back to his homeland (a la Paloschi), and rumours he just wants out to anywhere that's willing to take him
Does anyone have a clearer idea? I do find it staggering that he hasn't been given a proper run to try and conjure up some form given how much we forked out on him. At the moment he's being judged as a bust, but strikers in general seem to take longer to find their feet at new clubs
I'm not suggesting we drop Llorente but just wanted to know why Baston has been MIA of late |  |

He should cast a net to find a different club. I'll get my coat. |  | | |

Seems to be all kinds of stories.Rumours are that a move in January is on the cards,maybe back to spain , his agent wants him out of the club ,homesick etc,etc .
All I know is the guy has hardly kicked a ball, incredible we pay £15m quid for a player yet don't seem to know how to fit him in ! Why sign somebody that doesn't really fit ?
Only seen him on you tube and looked like the kind of player that needs plenty of support around him, that's him pretty much fooked here ! |  | | |

If fitness is the problem you would assume he would get a run out for the under 23s to build him up for the first team.
Our 2 form strikers at the moment however are Llorente and McBurnie so i fully support Bobs decision to put these 2 in the match day squad. Baston will need to wait for his opportunity. | |

The guy has played about 430 mins in the Prem.....less than 5 full games. Puts things in perspective a bit because however poor he may have been - we've actually hardly seen him play yet. |  | | |

Lately we seem to have made a habit of paying big money for players we obviously didn't need. | |

I just hope the £15m price is heavily structured and dependent on number of appearances, goals scored, etc. From what I've seen I'd question his commitment - he looks like he'd rather be somewhere else. A lot of money for very little return. Very disappointing. |  | | |

Why sign someone that doesn't fit in? Ask the head of recruitment he's got good st that. | | | |

The whole signing's been a bit weird. Remember how long his f*cking medical took. There were a few rumours around then that he almost failed. |  | | |

430 minutes and struggling to make the bench, lets hope our scouts watched him more than that.
Because at £15 million, you could hardly call him a bargain. |  |

He must be on a big wage too. If he's not going to figure for us perhaps we have done a deal with him on his wages? |  | | |

FFS! Our record signing and he can't even get on the bench. A club of our size simply can't afford to spunk £15 million on a player who can't make the grade.
If we go down this season, this will be one of the major reasons why. Huw Jenkins and the scouting team, hang your heads in shame. |  | | |

Herder fords quite simple post puts ours case to pillory Jenkins to the fore.
15 m is a fair wedge and deluded have be spent on a fit, ready to rock player to move us forward.
I cannot think of any club who have effectively thrown money away as we have.
It's not the fault of any take over, nor any yanks.
Sheer incompetence | |

And yet, there he still is, saying we might need 'one or two additions'. |  |

Indeed.
A bigger cretin would be hard to find.
I'm truly sorry I couldn't help out.
Jenkins has made money which is fine but he could have made the club so much more | |

If you watch the Match Day Cam video (very good incidentally) on the official site, you can see him and Ki with the squad and he looks pretty chipper so hopefully it's just a fitness thing and not an unhappiness thing.
There may be rumours but I'm sorry, you don't score 18 goals for the smallest team in La Liga by being shite. He might not be right for our system, but his stats and youth honours with Spain prove he is a talent. | | | |

No grapevine.
We're not happy with Bob and even less with the new and old owners so completing the circle then.
Unless the bloke is injured he should at least be on the bench.
No striker can score if the service to him is a shambles and we've only seen him fleetingly.
If Borja is refusing to play/ train/ do as he's told then don't pay him. Fine him the 2 weeks wages allowed under the rules. |  |

I heard this as well. Curt showed him three times how to plug the kettle in and every time he forgot to tun it on..... |  |

That's why you get £500k a year plus package plus bonuses for getting player recruitment right - as don't appear to be responsible for anything else. | | | |

He's always looked like he's trying when he's come on to me. Not a lot he can do when he's stuck out on the left wing though, is there? He's a 6'3 goalscorer. | | | |
