People were p*ssed at the time, mainly because he was a free transfer when we sold Carroll for 35m like 6 months earlier.
Well yeah that's slightly different. I was p*ssed at that but I assumed he meant people thought Ba was rubbish.
Don't think anyone was really sure either way, i had no idea what to expect when we signed him personally.
Was minty fresh at hoffenheim and wham, was delighted.
He wasn't the big name people expected us to go for though, especially after banking £35m for Carroll as Interpolic said. But yes, on a free he was great business.
