Crumpy Gunt Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I can say with an air of authority that Ba has thus far looked worth every penny we paid for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Still don't know why people are rating him so highly after 3.5 months of Premiership football, his purple patch was no more impressive than Leon Best's. Top strikers cost top dollar, which we have got which BFA won't pay. His goal record prior to West Ham was patchy at best (no pun intended) That's nonsense there was serious envy from many on here when he signed for West Ham - because he was good at hoffenheim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 It was insane to leave Shola and sub Ba. I mean we know what we get from Shola for about 10 years. Had he leave Ba with Oberton movement there might be a chance.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J7 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I thought Shola was better in the first half tbh. Touching the ball helped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Ba to score this weekend and this thread to be renamed 'King Demba of Ba, Mackem Slayer...... Shola who?' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Would prefer us to play 4-5-1 against the mackems with Ba up top but Shola always seems to do well against the mackems, be interesting to see how we line up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Wait, I've not been in this thread for a while. Are people seriously judging him from one game against Arsenal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliassenfredrik Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yes. Also Cabaye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Marveaux also missed this one game due to injury, his legs are literally hanging off and he's going to retire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yes. Also Cabaye. I think 1 person did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Very early days, but considering he already has a headstart regarding adapting to football in this country and has had a full pre-season under his belt I'd have expected much more, free transfer or otherwise. Poor service from teammates is one thing, but there's little excuse for a wank touch, lack of awareness, bad passing and little to no goal threat, culminating in Pardew hauling him off early in two games and not even playing him in the other. Replacement for Carroll? Unconvinced to say the least so far. Hope things pick up very soon considering our ongoing striker 'search'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboTrev Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Early days, but he's been garbage so far - no pace and no touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcmichael Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 looks like a poor version of Shola... can only get better... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Absolute trash so far tbh. Not gonna write him off like, his goal record speaks for itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I was under the impression that he had some speed. Not to say able to run at all. Is he carrying a injury? He must be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 He's slow as fuck which is weird since he wasn't last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 He's slow as fuck which is weird since he wasn't last year. He seems to be a lot of things he wasn't until he signed for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 He needs games, he's barely had a chance to show what he's about here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
