madras Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'd f***ing love to see Ba and Remy up front like. Aye fkn hell with Cabaye providing the ammo. HBA too, the understanding that HBA had with Ba was verging on telepathic. seriously ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 That's one of the frustrations with HBA not being in the team, we have hardly seen him and Remy together since Villa. Winning games and playing well so no one is going to complain but the potential of it is eye-watering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBA knew exactly where Ba was going to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 That's one of the main differences between Ba and Remy, for me. Ba was capable of sublime control (as is Cisse, to be fair) but it wasn't much of a shock to see him completely miscontrol it either. It's very rare that Remy doesn't have the ball where he wants it, his touch is really smooth and it sticks, the majority of the time. One was excellent for us, the other is excellent for us and I couldn't choose between them. They are both obviously very good strikers, no doubt. But, I know if I was looking for a player who could do more than score, Remy is the one I'd pick. Ba has been the better goalscorer for us, his consistency was outrageous. This - the two players are different kinds of striker, Remy relying on his pace to beat the last defender whereas Ba had to rely on good judgment. Ba was not great in the air for a big man and wasn't a good target man really...neither is Remy but he causes the opposition far more worries than Ba because of his pace and constant presence on the shoulder of the last defender. If we had a decent target man, Remy would be my choice in front of Ba every time...as it is, I would still have Remy but not by a great margin although his control and comfort on the ball make him a better footballer.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Ba is a great striker. Remy is a great forward. Remy is objectively better at most football skills and brings more to the team, but if you get Ba isolated with a centreback or feed him a good ball in behind, he's likely to get a good shot on target every time. I would say the reason he hasn't succeeded at Chelsea is that they will play against packed defenses most of the time and his game really doesn't lend itself to breaking that down. He won't get to isolate, his runs aren't particularly great at pulling the defenders apart, and he doesn't have the pace, strength, or aerial ability to physically dominate defenders the way Lukaku would have done. Chelsea really should have loaned him back here and kept the Belgian. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 At this early stage is he our best ever loan signing? I don't remember too many more good ones in this division Distin's the only other good one I can think of. Saha too. But neither of those were as good as Remy. Hatem, too. Saha?

The College Dropout Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Ba seems to need 3 to 4 games in a row to get up to speed. He'll never get that at Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I couldn't choose between the two, but I'd imagine they'd be lethal together. On the topic of Remy's court case, is there any truth in that JFK disclosure we won't know before March? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
