Greg Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Wonder if he'll kick up a fuss when he's played out wide there? They wont play him out wide, he'll get splinters in his arse from sitting on the bench mind. Tells you everything you need to know about that man that he is still happy to make this move despite Chelsea making it perfectly clear that he will be second choice behind Torres.

TRon Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Due to issues with one of his knees, Ba agreed to a basic weekly salary at Newcastle of £20,000 with another £20,000 bolted on top for appearances.

Whether the figures are real or not, it's pretty clear that moneybags clubs like Chelsea and Man City operate on a totally different level to the rest of us.

Minhosa Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Not surprised in the slightest that he's off and won't miss the 'will he/won't he' debacle every time a window comes around. He's done fantastically well but is inevitably going to be an Anelka, working his way from signing on fee to signing on fee in order to fund his brothers/advisors/pals/cousins etc etc. I never really took to the guy for that reason. This was only ever going to be a short term relationship and, in many respects, it's nice to just get it out of the way and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Wonder if he'll kick up a fuss when he's played out wide there? He'd stand on the side line and play the bagpipes for £90k a week. He's only ever going to be about money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Not too disheartened about him leaving if it means we'll get Remy or someone like him. Big test for Pardew to cope without Ba, he's been a very important figure in his time here and I think he'll feel let down by Ba after sticking with him and giving him so much support. Could well turn out an idiotic move for him tbh. Doubt he'll force Torres out of the side while Benitez is their manager. With Lukaku coming back as well, he might struggle to get games. He'll miss being at our club. He'll love the money though, I hope they mean much to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Wonder if he'll kick up a fuss when he's played out wide there? The only reason he cared about playing out wide is that it lessened his chance of a move that would put him on the money he felt he deserved to be on. Now he's got that money, and at 27 with what will be his final big payday, he won't give a shit if all they want him to do is drive the team bus. From all the interviews I've read of him talking of his struggles as a young footballer, it's all been about constantly getting a better contract at a better club rather than being a good footballer and playing well for the team etc. He's very single-minded and determined, with the sole goal of making as much money as he can. Being a good footballer has just been something he's had to do to achieve that. Not knocking him for that mind, just pointing it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes thats a very interesting idea. Without trying to be obvious, it would seem he's totally motivated by money in his decisions and these elusive advisors are obviously a bad influence on the manager and board. Enjoy the bench Demba!

themanupstairs Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 His agent did kick up a fuss, probably to that contractual situation, but there's no two ways about it - when he played he did what he was paid to do which is score goals.

tmonkey Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Kinda feel sorry for Chelsea. They're signing a CL striking equivalent of Danny Simpson. No doubt Ba will be pointing and mouthing off at Hazard and Mata when they pass the ball into his feet and it bounces away from his big clown feet.
