What a buffoon.

 

How so?

 

Because again he's going where the most money is. A player with all that talent and in 10 years nobody will remember him.

 

But his family and friends will all be taken care of.

 

and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

 

They be taken care of on 50K a week, too.

 

Maximise income - better living standards.

 

something practically everyone strives for in modern society.

 

Motivation varies per person as well of course, Maybe Demba couldn't give a crap about being "remembered"  :whistle:

 

Or winning stuff. I just fucking hate that mentality.

Yup as a fan I understand the sentiment too.

 

I've got no qualms with your point of view but I do see the other side of the coin too.

I'm pretty sure his family and friends would have been taken care of while still pursuing an ambitious career. A midtable PL team pays in a week what I earn in a year.

 

Pauper.

 

Evens itself out though supporting Barca I suppose...

Aye, he'd have a better chance of being remembered or winning stuff staying at Newcastle than going to Chelsea or Besiktas, who challenge for cups, titles and European football.. :dontknow:

I'll wait for Santoon to show up with his shots fired image.

I just find it highly ironic. Why does Ronaldo et al think all these French and Dutch players who come from clubs where they are used to winning stuff flock to come and play at Newcastle? To enjoy the Northumbrian countryside?

2 reasons.

 

Money and career advancement

What's with Barca signing Mathiaeu from Valencia? Surely they can do better: I don't get Barca's transfer dealings at times

 

I don't either, and I have been following this club since I was sucking my mom's tits.

 

Mathieu would actually be a pretty good backup; but paying the amount suggested for a 31 year old and getting no one else? Utter craziness, but sadly one that's not beyond the reach of our board.

 

Woah! :lol:

 

That's some random crudeness from VI.

f***ing HTT with his Merc that does 6 mpg. :dave:

 

9 around the doors the other week, 14 on average, 28 on the motorway once. Either way 100 a week if I'm driving it around the doors. Its killing me to be honest. Once I've had a year out of it I'm probably gonna get rid. People think I'm a gangster or a drug dealer. Had some lads eying it up the other week as well.

So what? It's his life.

 

And he'll have a far better chance of regular CL football with Besiktas than he would with us or any other mid-table PL side.

At this point in his career Demba Ba must have far better options than the Turkish league from everything other than a financial perspective. That's all I'm saying. If you and Flip and the rest of the backpackers want to turn that into a 'Ronaldo thinks everyone should want to play for Newcastle' angle, that's fine. Really quite idiotic, but I'll live with it.

See, again, who said he should be playing for a mid-table PL side?

Uh, no one, but it's the logical conclusion. He clearly isn't going to get playing time for one of the top clubs in the league he's currently in, and he has a past history of playing for mid-table clubs in that league. So it's perfectly rational to think he'd be playing for a mid-table side if he left Chelsea but stayed in England.

Nobody said he should confine himself to England, either. I know your knowledge of European football isn't the best but you're more naïve than I thought if you think the best option for Demba Ba at 29 is to play for the 3rd biggest side in Turkey, man. Wake up.

Perfect club for Ba, tbh. Turkey and Russia are definitely the spot for talented African strikers who would star in midtable sides, are motivated by money, would fail at top clubs, and still want a competitive league/environment. See: Sow, Emenike, N'Doye, Doumbia, Musa, etc. Add Ba now.

 

It's sad, like. I know they've been brought up with nothing and thus lean towards making as much as possible in their footballing window but all of them could have good careers in proper leagues at clubs with fans who'd revere them.

Think we under-rate those leagues tbf. They are hardly Scotland. They regularly put in decent shifts in Euro comps in those divisions. Win trophies. I don't see why playing for Aston Villa is a better look.

And nobody said it was. It's a just convenient and lazy assumptive counterargument.
