ATB Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Again I can agree with VaVaVoom somewhat. Ba isn´t a starter for me right now, and to be honest I´m really questioning his moral to be the second option. That said I wouldn´t really want him to go. We need every player we got, and somewhere Ba is a good player. And it´s nice to have some option to chance style or when Cissé is missing or isn´t having a great day. But to say that Ba is performing right now, like 90 % seems to think, is just something I can´t agree with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Fwiw i think he will be gone come the 1st of August. I wouldnt be too bothered neither. Thanks for the goals and the 7mil Demba. Good luck and enjoy your massive contract. We however go and bring in a new more versatile striker which we improve our already good 4321 system rather than tryin to find a way for him to work in it.

Ikon Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I say WowWowWum. Ba is a quality striker and i hope he stays, just because he lost his form for the second part of the season doesn't mean he isn't a very good striker. Having said that we very much need another. Maybe not a realistic chance of it happening but Remy would be the PERFECT one for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't be bothered about losing a proven goal scorer, a player who is very strong athletically and a player who also has great technique with the ball? Ba is versatile, though. He has shown through his career that he can play as a front man, off the striker, on the left and the right. We would not need to 'work in' a fit and confident Demba Ba.

Cajun Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Ba played about 3 or 4 games where he did actually look quite poor (had a really strange inability to control a ball) but on the whole played well as part of the attack if no longer the main man. His ludicrous goalscoring form for the first half of the season has really come back to hit him on the arse, not for anything he has done wrong but for the few who can't see anything good other than goals from a striker.

themanupstairs Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Can't quite understand the vitriol directed towards VaVaVoom and those who agree with his views. So fuck if that's what they think? People are coming across as knobs not accepting others' views tbh. For me July 31st can't come and go fast enough. Ba has given the illusion that he's nailed his flag to the mast, but even Pardew it seems isn't quite sure whether he'll have him for next season or not. I think our search for a striker (or two) is hanging in the balance until the Ba situation is finalized one way or the other. If the club wanted to keep him that badly they would have offered him a new contract that does away with this wretched clause. It seems that they are not fussed either way at the moment. I think Ba is a top top striker that we will struggle to replace, and I hope to fuck he stays. He holds the keys to his future though, and not NUFC, and it's not a situation I'm too comfortable with.

He is advocating replacing Ba with Sammy Ameobi, can you honestly not see why he is getting stick? If someone said we should replace Krul with Elliot because Elliot looks to pass the ball to a defender rather than hoof it would you not laugh and comment on their post?

His point is that Sammy will be a lot happier (it seems) to play on the left, and will relish the role far more than Ba might. It's not a cut and dry situation. Ba's knees are also a lurking ghost that could put a monkey wrench in our season if the situation isn't addressed by finding a player or two that could cover for that possibility should we get to keep him.

Jayson Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 All he wants is goals, he'll likely play wherever if he feels hes doing himself justice. Cisse just took his limelight & his missed pen at Sunderland prob knocked his confidence. Fresh season again now, we've seen what the lad can do. He wont get his form back on the bench, we could have a ridiculous strikeforce with these two. Hopefully Pards sorts it out for the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Sammy will get lots of games on the left and we really shouldn't be selling our second best striker when we need another one already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a striker or two anyway. I would probably relish playing for Newcastle more than Cabaye but I wouldn't advocate my fat arse in the centre of our midfield no matter how many yards it would cover. Sammy is promising but in no way ready to be a first choice player and to advocate him starting ahead of a player of Ba's quality is just stupid, imo.

I just don't think we have the personnel to play the 4 in midfield. If we do manage to snare Debuchy though, that would change as we'd have the correct balance. Wait and see.
