Wallace Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I guess this means that we are now to have a constant stream of rumours about clubs interested in Ba until the transfer window opens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I guess he was hawked around during the summer with no firm interest. That's part of the pic imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Shame the people around him seem to be such twats. If it carries on then we will end up having no choice but to replace him. Agree with Parky that we probably already tried to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 The transfer talk won't stop any time soon. His contract is up in 2 years so they have to either get him to sign an extension or sell him off by the summer. Wonder what his agent will make of that.

Sifu Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Only just read that BBC article, seriously Demba's agent needs to be destroyed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Don't like this shit at all tbh. It's one game FFS, if he was stuck on the bench for a couple of months then yeah I could see why he'd be upset but this is nonsense. Would be naive to think that Demba isn't fully aware what his agent is going to be saying by the way, Ba's not going to come out and say these things himself but the pressure is being put on Pardew to start him every game now, and centrally too. Think we'll move him on in summer tbh. It'll be a pity to lose him as he's got a lot of quality but his fitness issues combined with a seemingly rather self-centred approach will make it easier to bare IMO. If we could replace him with a more versatile player (namely one who can play both up top and out left, allowing us the freedom to switch between systems without having worry about upsetting one of our players) it might be for the best long term.

womblemaster Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 In the interview ba seems to think we play norwich then go to maritimo next thursday. Has he simply got his dates mixed up? Must have brainz in his feetz! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The bigger picture is what worries me. What happens if Pardew wants to leave him out again? Problems, that's what. It players like this who Sir Alex would have shipped out at the first opportunity, not because he's talented but because nothing good can come from having attitudes like this in the squad. I really like Demba Ba as a footballer, but I'm starting to think he's a bit of a cunt as a person. IF we can replace him, I'd get rid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Shouldn't tolerate this sort of dissent. If he can't understand why he's asked to play on the left he doesn't know it's about the team not individual glory. If he carries on like this I'd be happy to ship him out and replace him. On the other hand if it doesn't affect his displays on the pitch it doesn't matter much, but can see Pardew being reluctant to play him out wide now.

loki679 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 He does seem to move clubs fairly often. His longest spell was at Hoffenheim but even there he was supposed to move to Stuttgart after two seasons but the move fell through. Could be his agents are moving him around frequently to generate lots of juicy commissions and signing on fees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Realist Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 so we all agree Agents are Cunts then Imo it helps shed light on Pardews at-the-time apropos of nothing rant about agents a few weeks back. Was probably putting up with cunts like this all summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpal78 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 So we have an agent's quote that Ba is allegedly unhappy (contradicted by his very positive tweet) and then now suddenly Ba has an attitude problem and should be shipped out at the first opportunity. Glad some of you are not running the club, you'd have no player left to play! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What worries me is that other players see this and think it's acceptable. What happens if he rests Cisse? Does his agent come out crying to the press? Or, god forbid, Shola get's dropped.

Dinho lad Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Looks like Demba might have to score another couple of goals already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Being self-centred is not good for the team and he needs to learn. He wants to be the main man I understand but so does Wayne Rooney at Man U. It comes with the territory at bigger clubs. HBA could cry abut having to play too deep.

alpal78 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'll ask again, where is he saying that he is not happy?Any direct quotes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 It isn't about him being "dropped". He isn't happy about playing out of position for the last 6 months. Being on the bench was just the tipping point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyP Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'll ask again, where is he saying that he is not happy?Any direct quotes? He said it himself straight after the Everton game.... "I have no been too happy with some things that have been going on". We all have no been too happy with some things that have been going on, but its like natural reaction surely? Id have been more surprised if he answered "yeah i was ecstatic to just be on the bench". Its something Pardew has to manage well but come on, barely the shocking expose many in the media have been acting it out to be... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This my thinking. Ideally he can be swapped for a more versatile forward next summer if this scenario carries on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 All of this is just utterly fucking ridiculous. Mountain out of a molehill doesn't even begin to describe it; all of this has been fabricated by his dickhead agent and the dickhead press who are begging for an NUFC scandal. Ba said he was annoyed about some things that had happened. Then he played brilliantly and scored two goals. He was visibly buzzing. Then said he was proud as punch to get the 1000th goal, as well as saying what a 'legendary club' Newcastle was. What has ensued is complete fucking bollocks. If we do end up losing him in the next two transfer windows, it'll be a prime example of 'exterior' factors forcing a player out. All of the coverage i've seen from the comments about 'wanting out' have been attributed to Ba himself - which is not only an exaggeration, but a plain lie. Ironic how they'll publish Tweets from his brother, a total nobody in the whole thing, yet fail to publish a positive comment from the player himself. Fucking infuriating. As of right now i'm not worried in the slightest tbh, just pissed off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ba's a big head and got an ego the size of a small planet, but that's also what makes him such a good striker. He can be pissed off as he wants if he's asked to play on the left but until some club decides he's worth £5m and a fat contract with his medical history he's going to have to get on with it.
