LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 http://www.sundaysun.co.uk/sport/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/05/27/demba-ba-team-to-talk-about-staying-at-newcastle-79310-31052616/ Demba Ba team to talk about 'staying' at Newcastle May 27 2012 by Neil Cameron, Sunday Sun DEMBA BA’s representatives are will soon meet Newcastle United bosses to discuss the striker STAYING at St James’ Park. The Senegal star dropped a hint late on Friday night regarding whether he was ready to leave the club or stay when he tweeted “My guys are working on it. We’ll wait to see how far talks go,” in response to a fan asking about his future on Tyneside. He then added he was relaxed about the situation. Ba, currently on holiday, is believed to have a £7m release clause in his contract, meaning that he could talk to any club during the summer transfer window prepared to pay that fee for him, with Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp at the front of the queue. The Sunday Sun revealed last month that Newcastle expected the player to remain at the club. We understand that Toon boss Alan Pardew is not worried about his free transfer from West Ham moving this summer, as a fee of £7m is a lot to pay for a 27-year-old who has a history of injury problems. He failed a medical at Stoke in January 2011 because, as manager Tony Pullis said, the club “found something that could be a problem in the future”. A move to Stuttgart a year earlier also fell through for the same reason. This hadn’t stopped other clubs from expressing an interest, especially when it was reported that he had not signed a new, improved contract. However, Ba does not give the impression of a player desperate to leave Newcastle. He scored 16 goals for the Magpies last season, but only one of them came after February 5, which coincided with the arrival of fellow Senegal striker Papiss Cisse. But Pardew admired the way his player continued to work for the team, even when the goals dried up. With Alan Smith already gone and Danny Simpson likely to follow, another St James’s Park departure could be long-serving goalkeeper Steve Harper. He was sent out on loan to Brighton last season and, at 37, wants to finish his career as a first-team regular and not as a substitute. Harper said: “Time is running out and I’m not getting younger. If it’s the same situation next year, I’d look to go on loan somewhere as you can’t get these games back. “My plans are to go back on July 5 as fit as possible. I’ve been training hard in the two weeks we’ve been off, training three times a week, because pre-season gets harder as you get older. “I’ll go back as fit as possible and see what happens at the start of the season. Fabricio Coloccini, meanwhile, has admitted he would have suffered a summer of devastation if Chelsea had killed off his Champions League dreams. The Argentina star was left gobsmacked as the Londoners beat Bayern Munich on their home pitch to win club football’s greatest prize on penalties last Saturday. This meant Tottenham, who finished fourth in the Premier League one place above the Magpies, missing out on the Champions League because Chelsea took their place. That would have been Newcastle’s fate if the final day of the season had gone differently, which is a heartbreaking scenario that the United skipper was glad he avoided. Coloccini said: “I do feel for Spurs missing out on a Champions League place, after finishing fourth. I would have felt devastated if that had been us.” “We went into the last game against Everton with a chance of finishing third – and how incredible that would have been – but Everton are a very good team and it wasn’t our day. “As it happened, Arsenal and Spurs both won but we gave it our best and deserved to finish fifth.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It must be the easiest transfer rumour to make up, so I'm not worried at all. I think Spurs have their sights set higher anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 If Tottenham were in the Champions League I'd be more worried. Not sure he'd ruin everything he has with us just for the fact it's Tottenham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Don't think anyone will be willing to pay that sort of money for Demba with his medical history. Spurs might have but since they aren't in the CL the clause won't be active for the pauper bastards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'm guessing even if clubs meet the ÂŁ7m fee, it'll be the pay structure that could put people off, I still imagine clubs would be a bit wary of paying a big basic wage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of the best strikers in PL before AC, and he'll be one of the best when the next season begins . Cannot believe that some are so relaxed about his departure. He'll be hard to replace.

Skirge Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Would be a devastating blow to lose Demba but if we lost him to Spurs I would lose all respect for him. Pards going on about how its not about the money for him, how he needs to feel loved, well surely he feels that here and going to them would not be for Champions League could only be for money.
