Sounds like this Remy would cost at least twice as much as we would get for Ba, that's £7m out of our budget straight away. We aren't going to go mental so unless we are planning on selling someone like Tiote then we are going to struggle to add depth to the squad by selling Ba. True, depends on which level we're aiming at i guess (Carroll)

Yes or Guidetti amongst others. It would be for the greater good for the team too. Meaning we could use Jonas in the wide left position rotating with Barfa. Cisse the main man. Three CM's Cabaye, Tiote and someone else. Thats another solid attacking line-up in this system which doesnt involve Ba. We really wouldnt miss him too much. Guidetti amongst others? Guidetti wouldn't. And imo we would miss him cause if we lose Ba we'll have to buy 2 quality strikers and there is'nt many out there we could afford/attract, never mind two.

Im desperate for us to keep Ba and add to the squad, but IF he was to leave and we had the possibility to replace him with Remy then our team would improve. We need many players so i hope to god we can keep the one's we've got and add a few.

I say WowWowWum. Ba is a quality striker and i hope he stays, just because he lost his form for the second part of the season doesn't mean he isn't a very good striker. Having said that we very much need another. Maybe not a realistic chance of it happening but Remy would be the PERFECT one for us.

They will probably go for same same but different names anyway.

Mackems trying to convince themselves that Collins and Warnock are good signings, "anyway, they are good squad players" Don't believe it for a minute that MONG is seeing them as backup if they sign them two.

Get In!

Talk about below average. Lol.

Not that you were serious Dave, but a player like Remy would be a totally different matter as he can play in many different positions/roles whereas Carroll the big tree has to play centrally.

Imagine having Cissé/Remy/HBA/Ba as options to choose from for a "possible" front three

Good business even at 15m imo as well.

Much much rather have him than Carroll, has more pace and technically a lot better as well. Would suit our team/squad well as he can play in many positions.

As said, looks very mature for his age. Simply a intelligent player.

class talent, still only 18, superlol. Looks very promising.

nice shorts they wear

Thing is, i think we could go 4-3-1-2 if we have Santon and Debuchy to give some width, and go with HBA behind Ba and Cisse.

Why the fuck did he go to the airport then? Or it should say that he refused to go to the airport. I know what it means..

2014?

To add to my "hunch" Pardew mentioned that we waited for an answer from Hoilett, just find it hard to believe that it's our strategy (going our in public regarding Toilet)

Said this just after the breaking news about us going for Carroll, and not so long after, this stuff about Anita/Douglas and no bids made. Quite a long shot i know. Hunch hunch.

Honestly dont think we're after Douglas/Anita/Carroll. Smokescreens.

Trolling around we are.

No bid made, what do u make of this? Believable?

All the other teams had their managers and their Korean players at the presser. Sunderland had Catts Anti RTG audience. Dogs for them like!
