Neil Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Why would they do that? Because they have a fuckload of money, I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Just seems a bit needless, I know we paid Barton's 'loyalty' bonus but they had far more reason to dispute that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Tbf they have money to burn i don't think they give 2 shits. Although the money to had to pay for him plus the loyalty bonus and agent fees must push it up to around 15m surely? Just wish we could have got that much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 £2.5m was the agent fees, if the story is right. CHELSEA were forced to pay £10million to take Newcastle United striker Demba Ba to Stamford Bridge. Sunday Express Sport can reveal that Ba’s advisors received a £2.5m pay-out – and it didn’t come out of the £7.5m transfer fee. Chelsea triggered Ba’s escape clause of £7.5m, one which Newcastle’s hierarchy made strenuous attempts to remove with talks over an improved deal, once the January transfer window opened for business. At first the move fell down when Chelsea were made aware of the extra payment on top of the agreed fee, but the European champions, anxious to bring in support for Fernando Torres, decided to stump up more cash. Arsenal were also interested but weren’t prepared to meet Ba’s £80,000-a-week pay demands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Maybe Ba asked for it that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 So how much did Ba take? And how much did it leave us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 So, £10m there. £80,000 p/w for 3.5 years is what, close to £15m? Commitment of £25m. Blimey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I am sure we know where the weakness is his knee is. Plenty of time to start planning the perfect tackle. hope that's a damn sight better than the perfect corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I thought Ba got some of the fee too? Presumably part of the £2.5m IMO. It's him and his gang. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The club/Pardew will be furious that's been revealed "He has to find the extra money for a striker, as we're not going to get one in for the Ba money" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I bet Ashley thought he could take the extra £2.5 Million out without anyone noticing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I thought it was Ba + Nufc share the £7.5m and then agents get whatever on top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was Ba + Nufc share the £7.5m and then agents get whatever on top. That was always my understanding too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll have been hoping we believed the "club only get half the fee" stuff. £7.5 million can buy you a very good striker if you're willing to spend it (on a striker).

Yeah i know i was just saying regardless of what they say he's still going to have to get some cash out because in this month especially its very difficult to replace that quality for even 7.5m. Whether we got 5m or 7.5m it's irrelevant really as he would still have to get off his arse and spend some cash especially with our supposed targets.
