Nobody Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (Genuinely) wonder what Pardew's motives/reasons are for continually mentioning that clause. Everyone in the business will know what it is (his agent will tell them) and us as fans have known about it. Wonder why he keeps bringing it up. Anyway, he played great yesterday, was involved all over. Hope is ok for Fulham! Considering you are one of those people who knows every little detail about Pardews contract, surely you would already know the answer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Creased at Demba's interview on NUFCtv Said Bigi's celebration was horrible, then thought people might take it the wrong way so apologised to Christians and said he was on about the bit where he dropped to the floor. Also says he's fine and there's nowt to worry about on the injury front. Fucking hell, Demba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Please sign that contract Demba. One of the best strikers in the league and to lose him for 7m will be devastating. Anyone notice he prayed in 2 different directions last night, you a bad muslim Dembz. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we speak openly about losing him they know they can't force our hand to the maximum. However, if the 80-90k wages are true, we have a massive problem. Not that he doesn't deserve a wage like that in comparison to what others make in the Premiership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 If someone was going to activate his clause then surely they would have done it in the summer. Sounds like the new negotiation is to remove the clause, which I guess he is entitled to ask for more money for. I love Demba to bits, just worried about his agent and entourage really.

Yes I think he keeps mentioning it possibly to keep the focus on Ba and his agents, rather than on himself and Ashley. But I also think he gets asked about it far too often. He was asked last night post-match about Ba's behavior and demeanor around the club, and if the clause speculation has had any effect on his conduct etc... Pardew was unimpressed at all by the question, and replied that Ba has been exemplary before refusing to answer anything else on the matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 It's a shame a few shite clubs have a chance tbh. Not even the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea etc - but QPR, West Ham ffs. They have money to burn. Hopefully, whenever he eventually goes, it'll be out of this country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hydeous Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Ba won't accept that though, would he? I'm only worried about Arsenal and Liverpool, tbh. Or PSG or one of the monied foreign clubs. God, I hate agents. So greedy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'm just hoping that the contract situation is more about haggling to remove his release clause than him actually agitating to leave. I can understand why his agent(s) would want to keep that in there to make him able to move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/demba-ba-buyers-scared-off-by-his-30m-price-package-8393692.html Demba Ba buyers scared off by his £30m price package Newcastle have not had a single enquiry for the forward because buyout fee is fraction of the cost Martin Hardy Friday 07 December 2012 The full cost of buying the Newcastle United striker Demba Ba could total a staggering £30m. So far Newcastle have yet to receive a single phone call enquiring about the Senegalese forward. That was also the case during the summer transfer window, when the player was available for a fee of £7.5m because of a clause that was in his contract when he moved from West Ham to St James' Park. Speculation then centred on the Turkish giants of Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, but neither club tabled an offer for the 27-year-old. The clause then expired on 31 July, but it has since been revealed that it can be activated in January. That has led to renewed talk of interest, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Galatasaray again linked with the forward. Newcastle have been unable to agree terms on an improved deal for Ba, following the 26 goals he has scored since his move to the North-east. When he moved from Upton Park as a free agent in the summer of 2011, Ba signed a three-year deal that was worth £40,000 a week. There has been a desire from his representatives to double that contract, a wage which is way above the ceiling set at St James' Park, and significantly above that of the top earner at the club, Fabricio Coloccini. The relatively low cost of the initial deal for Ba has been seen as a reason for concern by those inside St James' Park. There remains a determined desire to extend his deal but the figures being asked for will have to drop considerably. The hidden costs that would come with any move away from Newcastle would change the financial landscape dramatically. It is believed the fees required to pay those representing Ba would be around £5m. A four-year deal at £80,000 a week, the figures his representatives are asking for, would mean any buying club would have to put together a £16m wage package. The entire package would cost more than £30m – and Ba would be entitled to half of the £7.5m transfer fee. There is also the problem of insuring his knee. That was the reason why Stoke City pulled the plug on signing him in 2011 when he first moved from Hoffenheim. Ba's record since then has been outstanding, both in terms of goals and appearances, but the knee remains a long-term concern. The Newcastle manager, Alan Pardew, remains understandably keen to keep Ba at St James' Park and admitted this week that the player has expressed no desire to him to move. "He's never done anything other than look me in the eye and show me he wants to stay here," Pardew said. "He loves it here, and he understands it's a football city." There is similarly no suggestion from inside the club that Ba, an influential member of the home dressing room, is pushing to move away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 That would explain why no one has come in for him as 7.5m seemed a bit small for their to be no interest for such a fantastic striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of £7.5m it's £12.5m going off their figures. Even if it was a normal £7.5m transfer you'd expect to pay £1m in agents fees or something close.
