Swissmag Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It's all about the football, the entertainment, the excitement, and invariably Mourinho's team disappoint. Benitez Chelsea were much easier on the eye than this version so far. He plays percentage football irrespective of all the fantastic players he has. It might be effective most of the time, but entertaining it's not. good post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Is he injured or just out of favour? Not even making the bench is he? Get him back in Jan at any cost. (Although I struggle to think why he'd come back) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Makes me like Chelsea a little better tbh Makes me hate them and Roman Abramovich even more. Demba Ba was a quality long-term(ish) sort of player for us but, due to their huge financial power, they were able to acquire him for peanuts (to them anyway) even though everyone, including Chelsea themselves I'm sure, could see that he was nothing more than a stop-gap signing. Basically, they fucked one club off one of their best players for their own short-term success, mainly thanks to their money power. Fuck off Chelsea and Abramovich, you fucking cunts.

BrettNUFC Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Surprised a lot on here still have the affection for Demba considering the way he went on start of last season refusing to play on the wing, that was a catalyst for our sudden change of fortune.

Pilko Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 We don't know that he 'refused' to play there, though. He obviously wanted to play through the middle and clearly made this plain to Pardew; I think Pardew knew how important he was to us and therefore tried to keep him sweet to everybody else's detriment.

Guest reefatoon Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I think he also made the point that he should have been the main striker through the middle with his goals return. He backed up what he was saying with goals basically. Can't argue with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Pardew should have just told him he had to stay on the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 He done it to put himself more in the shop window rather than thinking what was best for the team, that's what i struggle to forgive. All personal success with him and didn't care about winning as long as he was scoring, hate players like that. The team was playing well with him on the left, his goals dried up after Cisse was made the main striker but he shouldn’t have been concerned as we were still winning, but he huffed.

Well, yeah, I don't like them, but that is done. It's their prerogative to make their team better, they have no concern whether it negatively affects the selling team, or ultimately the player himself. Where as Demba needs to do what's best for Demba, and he chose money + bench over less money and starting XI. So I'm quite happy that he's languishing in their reserves. He's probably fine with it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 How exactly have you guys come to that conclusion? We've played a similar system this season with a striker more suited to that position and we are still terrible. Had Ba been there I doubt he would've scored the 13 league goals and we would be relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
