robbo_11 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 It will be disappointed to see him go, but nothing we can do with a release clause. Pleased that it is likely to be over early in the window if he doesn't fail the medical. A while ago there was some talk of Guillaume Hoarau from PSG and it looks like he might be leaving very soon according to Ancelotti (although linked to Everton).

David28 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm even more pissed off with Pardew over this pandering to Ba then I ever have been. It was never sustainable to try and keep him here by promising him his favourite position, and now he's wasted half a season trying to pull it off, just totally wrong. No, it wasn't totally wrong. 1st, he scored the goals while Cisse was (playing out of position or not) out of form at least at the start of the season. 2nd, the chance of Ba staying was always higher when he was happy. 1+1=2.

timeEd32 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Bye Demba. Thanks for all the goals and one of my favorite songs ever. I won't miss you falling down with your back to goal every time you try to turn, nor your inability to play with Papiss. Or you looking completely spent after 55 minutes.

Dave Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Will be interesting to see how he does at Chelsea. Maybe it'll be Carroll 2.0. I think he'll do really well for them, unfortunately. I said the same about Carroll mind, but Chelsea are miles better than Liverpool are/were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewJerseyMag Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm even more p*ssed off with Pardew over this pandering to Ba then I ever have been. It was never sustainable to try and keep him here by promising him his favourite position, and now he's wasted half a season trying to pull it off, just totally wrong. I agree. Since it was inevitable should have stuck with Cisse as CF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 He'll probably not play every game like but at this thread won't be utterly fucking tedious every time he doesn't or if he comes on and misses a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I can't really blame him, tbh. We don't have a leg to stand on with any of this. Even if he did just want more money, you can't even say that he hadn't earned the going rate. As it happens, he's going to get more money, playing for a team that are the European Champions and will be challenging for the league in the foreseeable future.

You can never prove that Cisse's form would have dropped off as much if he'd been played as the middle striker of 3. Ba scored the goals, the team is 2 points above the drop zone.

He scored plenty of goals but the team malfunctioned, which is why we're in this mess. Not blaming Ba, but the team doesn't work the way Pardew set it up this season and IF he did that to keep Ba happy then it was a poor decision IMO.

Indeed, still not sure why he would let him "boss" his tactical choices, or well I fucking hope he did unless Pardew is more of a bonehead then I have realised.

Skeletor Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Mark Douglas @MsiDouglas Remy is #1 target for #nufc. Been told he wants to come; presence of Debuchy increases chances of deal. Takes on increased urgency now. Expand Reply Retweet Favorite http://fatalfacts.com/uploads/gallery/album_21/gallery_2_21_153165.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same about Carroll mind, but Chelsea are miles better than Liverpool are/were. Unless his knee gives out he can only do well really, but I can't see him being a regular starter for them. Not because he isn't good enough, but because Benitez loves Torres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Was always going to happen at some point given the clause and how well he's played. Better for both parties in the "long run". Short term there's the stress of hoping Cisse immediately starts banging them in. I think the way we can set the side up with attacking players either side Cisse we'll get goals. Atleast we'll see Cisse in his natural position now. Lets get that striker in though, hope it's Remy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
