Rams Sign Chris Baird

100% agree. Bent, Weimann and potentially Ince will take the headlines, but these are the players that allow the others to play - something we badly missed the 2nd half of last season. I still maintain that we would've made the playoffs with Eustace fit and Baird is even better (and more versatile).

Really excited about what's going on, but still feel a tinge of apprehension due to the possibility of upsetting the squad

I can see what you mean, but with a new coach coming in before the season starts and after last season, it was clear that some changes were needed, the current players will either welcome the new arrivals seeing that they bring the possibility of promotion or if not be on their way - be interesting to see who if anyone does go out the door.

A two year contract for a 33 year old. Eustace #2. Let's hope he does as well

This player offers much more than you are suggesting. Probably better than any of the other centrebacks we have and can play DM or fullback, no problem. Very shrewd signing.

I reckon Chris Baird will be Left Back (in the changing rooms) or Right Back (in the stands). We've only bought him as a face double for Keogh.
