Tiresias Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Well exactly I assume he's there so Torres can be up front and they can still score For all his muscles is he a good header? Not sure why so many people think he'll flop? Seems a very Chelsea player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Well exactly I assume he's there so Torres can be up front and they can still score For all his muscles is he a good header? Not sure why so many people think he'll flop? Seems a very Chelsea player I think that's exactly why they bought him, with Torres struggling to score goals and Mata and Hazard more creators that goalscorers. They wanted someone who would score goals and believe me he will. Yeah i dont think he will flop either infact i think he will be a great success, but lets see.

Punk77 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 These last few pages have made me sad. Still can't comprehend how anyone would be indifferent with Ba leaving. I, for one, would be quite gutted if he left. Ba should look at the 'success' that others have had since leaving for so called 'bigger clubs' over the past few years. There's a big difference: Nolan and Barton are ok, but limited players while Ba is a fucking beast with excellent allround play who will score goals in his new club too. I don't think he was referring to Nolan and Barton considering the "so called bigger clubs" comment. Carroll and Enrique would be my guess. Ah.. the bigger clubs comment....Didn't see that... Argument still stands though, Enrique is a stupid cunt who can't create something in attack if his life depended on it.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hulk is'nt a striker..... he's a winger that scores goals. If Chelsea play Hulk as a CF they want shooting as it takes away from pretty much all of his best traits. He's more of a right sided forward imo.

Sebastien Bassong was one of the most promising centre-halves I've seen at the club, Habib Beye transferred himself from being a legend at a club to a reserve player within months and Michael Owen. Well he was going to be a wanker for every club he ever played for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Demba Ba facing decision day at Newcastle United by Lee Ryder, Evening ChronicleJun 11 2012 The Magpies are hoping to put an end to the uncertainty in time for the start of pre-season training in order to push on with their transfer business – with TWO new strikers thought to be under consideration. As ever United are keeping their cards close to their chest when it comes to incoming faces. However, FC Twente star Luuk De Jong and Montpellier man Olivier Giroud are still thought to be on Newcastle’s hit-list. Senegal international Ba has yet to notify the Magpies of a decision on his future. It is widely known that Ba’s contract contains a £7m release clause which can be activated until July 31 – after which time Newcastle can then demand whatever fee they wish for the 16-goal star. But the Chronicle understands that United want to know exactly what Ba – targeted by Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea – plans to do before Alan Pardew’s squad regroup for pre-season training on July 5. The striker must also report to the club’s Benton base in the days building up to pre-season for routine fitness testing. Ba has so far been non-committal when it comes to talk on his future at St James’s Park – yet United would like an answer sooner rather than later so they can push on with their summer transfer plans. Indeed, Magpies chiefs do not want the scenario to drag on through pre-season and face a repeat of last summer when Jose Enrique sulked for almost eight weeks before finally joining Liverpool. It is believed they have big plans when it comes to strikers in the coming months – if they can get the men on their shortlist. Indeed, United not only have a contingency plan to replace Ba should he quit but also bring in another new face in the striking department to bolster Pardew’s Europa League bound squad. The Toon boss has already sanctioned the release of Denmark international Peter Lovenkrands and Leon Best has been made surplus to requirements, while Nile Ranger will be sold to the first team that produce the right cash bid. Even if Ba does decide to stay, Pardew has concerns over the winter months – a period which could see him denied the services of both Ba and hotshot Papiss Cisse when they travel to South Africa for the African Cup of Nations next January and could be missing for up to six weeks. United were fortunate last January that both Ba and Cisse returned long before the tournament ended due to Senegal’s woeful performances in the group stages. FC Twente striker De Jong has gone public on his future over the weekend and said: “If something very attractive comes along, then I’ll consider it. “No matter what happens playing at Twente has been a wonderful experience.” Meanwhile, United must also wait to see if their bid for Vurnon Anita will be accepted. The Chronicle first reported United’s interest in Dutchman back on May 19. The 23-year-old Ajax star was scouted several times by both Pardew and chief scout Graham Carr last season. Anita is still on holiday but Harry Lulofs, the player’s agent, said: “Newcastle have been watching him for a long time and really want to sign him.” Read More http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/newcastle-united/nufc-news/2012/06/11/demba-ba-facing-decision-day-at-newcastle-united-72703-31155070/#ixzz1xTXwXuxZ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Really can't see us shelling out the money required for Giroud tbh, he'll command a pretty high fee. Can just see Pardew and Ashley together and Pardew being like 'Before you decide whether it's a good idea to splash out £11m on Giroud...have another Pinot Grigio.' http://nothingbutnewcastle.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Alan-Pardew-smiling-300x225.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Always get uneasy when I read that players are stalling over deciding their future. Hopefully Ba and his team aren't trying to smoke out other contract offers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 One point the article got it right is we should not be done a Jose again. Luckily the clause is exercisable before the end of July instead of august. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanegg Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Could Ba just be on holiday enjoying his free time, rather than 'stalling' over his contract? I might be wrong but I've not noticed many players signing new deals at this time of year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giroud has a 12m clause supposedly..... in any case i would prefer De Jong to Giroud tbh, reason being is because he's more versatile and fit the 4-3-3 better than Giroud does who would force us to play 4-4-2.

Yorkie Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I don't know really know what the latest is with regards to Ba, but we should have slapped a slightly improved contract (without that stupid fucking clause) in front of him the moment the season ended.
