Jayson Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 In short - * Second most prolific striker in the league. * Can score all sorts of goals, including a mean dead ball and calm as you like on penalties. * Other than goals works hard and is useful all over the pitch. * At 26 years old is still young. * Despite having knee problems has managed around 30 games a season resulting in 15 goals a season average. * Available for £5m Why would clubs not have bid as soon as they could? Why let his go off to the ACN where negotiations would then be difficult? Why let other clubs steal a march on you? Why is Redknapp talking but not acting when his best forward is on loan with no realistic chance of signing permanently? I just don't buy it at all This is the main question for me here. If Ba's available for less than 7m, why would Redknapp leak the info to the media so that everyone else could then compete for the signature? Makes no sense atall unless hes either a complete moron or not actually interested in signing Ba. Either that or he thinks just registering known interest will turn Ba's head somehow, he doesnt need to do that publicly though. Its also obvious potentially bigger clubs than Tottenham would become interested now hes done that. Doesnt add up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Just doesn't add up at all, if it's a straight minimum release clause of less than 7million then Ba would have been talking to practically every club in the PL on Jan 1st. Sounding more like it's a condition based clause, either relegation or performance related. Damn 5million or whatever Redknapp reckons it is is chicken feed for almost everyone in the PL.

It does rather suggest that he simply can't keep his mouth shut and will try to answer any question posed to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 No reason for the club to deny this bollocks (if it indeed it is) any more than any other, tbh. Doesn't mean diddly. The board have no interest in assuaging the fears of fans etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 True, it's surprising how many people think not denying it is the same as admitting it though. Do me the fucking favor, Llambias. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Still not 100% convinced this clause actually exists, this has all came from those comments from Karen Brady and under PL rules NUFC are not allowed to discuss the contents of his contract. but redknapp is? My thoughts exactly, not sure jail is good enough for this man tbh..... should be tortured to the inch of death for the next 5 years imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Its his childhood club isn't it? of course he's interested, it's whether they are. More annoyed that someone asked him I suppose. If they come knocking he'll go I suspect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Best on SSN saying Ba loves it here,fans love him , it a massive club. Not even sorry if its Giggs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I am sure Ba does love it here, he even said that in the quote about joining PSG in a fashion, where he said he wanted to continue playing good games for Newcastle. I think this is a case of he's clearly worth a lot more than he's currently getting paid in today's market and his agent is trying to get him a better deal. We should give him it too. I know he just signed a contract but he's earned it in the same way Tiote did. I hope Llambias and Ashley don't think they'd rather have £5m than re-negotiate a new contract.

Dave Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 There are suggestions that if Ba were to leave for £7 million his contract stipulates that he would receive a large proportion of that fee — thought to be around £2.5 million — leaving Newcastle with £4.5 million for the player who signed on a free transfer but who has been this season’s Premier League sensation, scoring 15 goals. Cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 but, crucially, Ba has told Newcastle he will at least see out this season before deciding his future. We need to get him to sign a new deal this month, if only to save our ass in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
