If we sign him, I hope he won't wear those... eh, things.

I assume you mean the Kinesio Tape on his legs? You'd prefer him to not play instead?

If West Ham go down Demba Ba please. Looked quite beastly for West Ham from the get go.
Aye I agree with this like. I've been impressed with what I've seen.
Yeah definitely worth a punt, didn't realise he was only 25. Surely wouldn't be that expensive either?
Doesn't he have no knees? I thought his Stoke move collapses because he failed a medical?

I'm sure he was told he would play the "No 10" in the team and even when he first joined he said thats where he saw himself playing, not dissimilar from what Nasri said during his time at Arsenal. Although he doesn't really look capable of that role in the current set up. My biggest problem with him is that he is yet ANOTHER ball carrier, which is not a criticism of his play and would be fine if we didn't already have two static widemen who can't/won't run anywhere without the ball at their feet. Two players who offer very little attacking threat and seem invisible until they're given the chance to run a bit and either fall down, or do a few step overs and pass back to the full back. But it does mean that when he's attacking he's only ever going to have Ba as a viable attacking option since our wide men won't find space or break into the box. I think thats why far to often we see him try and take on 3 men, simply due to lack of options.
Really, he needs to start in place of Obertan (not sure anyone disagrees on that) But Pardew seems reluctant to upset the defensive balance, and after conceeding 10 in the last 4 games i don't think he's going to chance that stance at the moment.
