jdckelly Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 mirror saying we're getting Ba next week http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Newcastle-West-Ham-transfer-news-Demba-Ba-expected-to-complete-free-agent-move-to-Magpies-next-week-article746187.html Newcastle are winning the Ba brawl Published 23:00 10/06/11 By Simon Bird Newcastle are set to land Demba Ba in a bargain deal next week. The French-born Senegal star is quitting West Ham on a free and Newcastle believe they are close to sealing a deal for the big striker. Alan Pardew was back at his desk this week and completed the signing of Yohan Cabaye last night in a £5million switch from Lille. Ba, 26, scored seven goals in 12 games for the Hammers' relegation-bound side and Newcastle can more than match his wages as they look to replace Andy Carroll with a new focal-point striker. He also had a good goal ration in Germany for Hoffenheim bagging 37 in 97 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 If the wages are sensible I think he would be a good signing, how many West Ham games did he miss? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 If the wages are sensible I think he would be a good signing, how many West Ham games did he miss? And as long as he's not the only striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Still a bit risky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 If we can get him for nowt then brilliant, saves money to be spent on other new players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 We definitely need to get rid of one or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Be reasonably happy with this as long as it's not used as a reason to not spend properly on another striker. Scores goals, can do it in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 As I said in the other thread, nobody will pay him 80k wages and he'd be a brilliant free transfer. Add Zoggy and a main striker to that and we're looking sexy-licious for next season (touch wood). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Did look a good striker for West Ham, if there is a deal I hope it's a sensible one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Quichà Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 If we are getting him we need to get rid of some one like Lovenkrands, Ranger or Xisco and still get a top quality striker in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 For free? Fucking rights. Because of a silly contract clause isn't it? Standard stuff for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger and Xisco will probably both go. New striker, Ba, Best, Ameobi, Lovenkrands (Kuqi emergency style). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 As has already been said, if we bring him in on a free AND sign another striker, brilliant news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Can play wide too but he could be the Gervinho replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 For a free........sure why not. Just hope we're not going to be paying him a particularly high wage..... EDIT: and that he's not first choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Another 'quality' striker and Ba should do it. Best and Ameobi will be acceptable as 3rd and 4th choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Quichà Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Only negative is his name looks bloody daft on the back of a shirt http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg619/scaled.php?tn=0&server=619&filename=5k1sg.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Would be satisfied with Ba as 2nd choice next season tbh. Not exactly a marquee signing but he's handy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
