ian Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 The object to the right of the leg in each xray...is a graduated wire place on ( not in ) the leg to assist break / fracture level before opening skin. The right one looks different due to orientation of the x ray tube in relation to the leg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Owen comes nowhere near, he started well and then looked really good alongside Viduka and Martins under Keegan but neither periods were to the level of Ba during his 2 purple patches with us. Remy was close like. Ha! Loic Remy. Tend to forget that guy exists. What a waste of talent. Should have been leading the line for France in the Euros ahead of Giroud if he actually went somewhere he would get games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 How is a clean break better than a small fracture? 'Bet you're glad that your leg is hanging off at a funny angle Demba, you could have just had a hairline fracture!' With a clean break it will set better and get a bit stronger, also it might make one leg shorter than the other enabling him to turning in a circle much quicker.

But the back of his Tibia (as far as I can tell) looks like a jigsaw puzzle. Hope he's invested wisely: that would be an impressive come back for a 30 something.

Remy was close like. Comparing Owen to Demba Ba, man. Well they are comparable because Owen had just less than a 1 in 2 record and went through a couple of brilliant spates of form. As Ba did. They both wanted to leave the moment they got here, too, so they have that in common. Ba is the answer to the question but Owen is definitely second, the rotten cuntbag.

Ba was happy to sign an extended contract if we removed the clause about his knee exploding IIRC. Owen never wanted to be here in the first place and had to be landed by helicopter for training sessions. I respect Owen as a striker, but from what I recall he dumped Liverpool for Madrid then started pining after them when they won trophies without him and ended up here because he had no other offers.

Kanj Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Mikey Owen also didn't show an ounce of effort for his old pal Alan Shearer either. Ba in our team last year and we'd have stayed up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Demba was obviously a mercenary, but he felt like an honest one, if that's even a thing. I mean, I trusted him to always give 100% in all his matches even though I knew he didn't care about the club in any particular way beyond it being his paid job. Don't get that feeling with many other money grabbing cunts. Remy, for instance, I felt sometimes couldn't even be arsed. Cisse wandering around the pitch like a grinning senile old cunt. Demba at least tried. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Urgh in spite of everything that's happened afterwards, the whole Owen thing just depresses you. We'd signed a really top, top player - a feared striker (for £16m ) - yet it never felt real. Not even when we signed him. You could see it in the way that he spoke during that daft press conference in front of the Leazes End, he was signing his career away. He knew he wasn't likely to be challenging for club honours under Souness/Shepherd but he surrendered that ambition for the sake of becoming our most prestigious mercenary. He didn't fight for the club, didn't try to change that inevitability that we'd fail; he just got injured for the club and robbed it blind - a couple of aforementioned spates aside. Come the end of his four years, his passions came out in full bloom as the relegation fight disintegrated under his alleged captaincy. And he did not give a single shit. What makes it worse with Owen was that he came with a reputation, a large fee and thus responsibility. Even more responsibility when he was given the armband yet just wasn't remotely arsed. Always the wrong, wrong signing. Not right for Newcastle and not right for the game. He's a pioneer in mercenaries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demba at least tried. Demba Ba actually did give a shit that first season, it was the sheer fact that after we finished 5th we signed Vurn Anita and didn't build upon the squad and the team started to suffer. He saw through the lies of the club probably towards the end of the first season and that summer - same with Cabaye, they both grew disenchanted with this club. Loic Remy probably would have stuck around too if we had followed up that summer and sacked Pardew. But nope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'd still say in terms of sheer talent it's Ba then him, but Remy was really good as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 My impression of Demba was that he didn't like playing second fiddle to Cisse and wanted to play in his preferred setup. He was happy to go and play second fiddle at Chelsea though for more money. That was still better than Owen though, who didn't want to be at Newcastle at all. It seems more common for players from poorer countries to have multiple levels of agents, advisors, and hangers on, so their behaviour is more understandable, if not necessarily forgivable.

HawK Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 In ability, when Kluivert could be bothered, which was not very often, he was definitely ahead of all but early Shearer. The guy oozed class, no doubt that Kluivert + Bellamy > Shearer + Bellamy in my mind. In terms of effectiveness though, Ba did some great things with the team he had around him and was great to watch, gave it his all even when he was narked off for being played out wide to accommodate magic-shins Cisse. On ability Kluivert. In effectiveness, Ba all the way. Owen was worse than Wijnaldum at hiding in games and the captain to boot towards the end.
