Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

When fit Baptiste is easily one of our best players and one of the few I'd genuinely heard of when we signed him. Probably has a bigger profile in the game than many of our Prem signings like Mads, Giles, Brown and Ogbene.

Absolutely tore League One apart when at Oxford United (when fit!) and sold to Brentford for around 2 million.

Good enough to play 55 times in the Premier League for Brentford.

Scored an own goal for us when we beat Brentford 2-1 in the Championship.

I don't think there was much data analysis required, I think we just decided to take a gamble on a player that on his day is easily Championship standard - but sadly injured much of the time.

I guess the more important research and analysis would have been would he pass the medical, which he did - so we gambled.

The fact that we decided to take Walsh on as well who had a similar playing / injury history was a bit mad though.

I really hope we can get Baptiste fit because on his day he is a hell of a player for League One.
