Tiresias Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Hope we don't get a Torres - Drogba situation where they don't really work together though. Doubt it though, Ba's not the selfish sort and will draw defenders out by dropping deep giving Cisse space. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammys_Tekkers Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Lovely signing. Will be watching Senegal now to see him play alongside Ba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Oldtype has missed it all. Just a quick look in the Starting XI thread, and fuck me, just this one signing and moving Hatem wide right makes our starting 11 look so much better. CB cover for this season, and then a new full back next season (with some young winger as cover), and that's me very happy with our squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Great stuff. Best of luck to the lad, it's a big number to carry but he seems confident. Now just to sign a centre back and not let any of our first team players bar Smith leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So like there isn't any way this can fail at all is there? 2 Demba's up front? It is actually a foolproof plan? I seriously hope Pardew doesn't blood him in like, if I have to wait 'til the ACN finishes, and then STILL have to watch Shola start games i'll probably break down.

Guest hobshobs Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Surely Senegal will qualify for next year's ACoN and we'll be in the exact same situation again come a year today? Yep but one year today we'll all have suffered less from having to watch Shola as much. Badly needed this signing after yet another non-event of a performance from Mr. Ameobi on Sunday.

HawK Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Na, Pardew has come out and said quite openly he's a player he wants to fulfill a role in the team. He'll walk into the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SweetCarrollNine Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 This is an exceptional signing. I would certainly say you have a better starting XI than Liverpool now, whilst spending about £100m less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB cover for this season, and then a new full back next season (with some young winger as cover), and that's me very happy with our squad. That's just about my thinking now. Bring in a low-key defensive signing as cover / one for the future this window + maybe a short term signing for extra cover. Keeping Tiote / Ba / Colloccini is a must and the summer can be supplementing the first team squad, upgrading some areas (Simpson / Obertan / Perch) and replacing Smith and Lovenkrands as their contracts are up in summer, unless they go this window, and maybe a low-key forward signing as well. This has the potential to be the best forward combo since Shearer and Ferdinand up front for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm feeling like a little kid at Christmas about this. This guy is just a genuine goalscorer, really exciting prospect seeing the 2 Dembas up top, could be lethal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
