Cisse is far better on the ball than Ba, Ba's holdup play is atrocious at times, clinical finisher but we have served our purpose for him we were always going to be a stepping stone otherwise why would the clause even exist?
As for Pardew talking about the clause, does it even matter as his agents/representatives are whoring him around telling every club that will listen.
Replace him with somebody half decent and we will be better off for it, the kids been calling the shots for too long.
