Why is Wenger mental?, Ba would never fit into a system like arsenal, their fowards inter-change and move all over the place, most importantly they are comfortable on the ball when they receive it which is used to bring midfielders into play.
Ba's strengths are not those attributes.
Eh? Have you seen who Arsenal have upfront?
Ba's movement and ability on the ball is superior to Giroud, Walcott, Gervinho and Chamakh. That's without even mentioning all the other things he's better at.
they usually play with one man upfront, Ba is a better finisher for sure , but you seriously think he would fit in as the main foward in a arsenal system?
he would have to interchange move about, thats not his game, and his ability on the ball is less than average, how often do you see Demba Ba receive a ball and successfully pass to a team mate? not very often. and he's not very good at holding the ball up either.
his strengths are getting on the end of long balls and crosses to convert towards goal, something that arsenal dont do very much.
dont get me wrong im not calling Ba lazy, because he works hard to chase after the ball when we dont have it. he's a pure poacher and i dont mean it in a derogatory way.
Wat?
