TaylorJ_01 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Ba was hardly 'unproven' like. Knees were an issue but a guy like that was always worth a punt. Especially for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 If you can find one person who complained about the Ba deal I'll go round and strangle them. People were pissed at the time, mainly because he was a free transfer when we sold Carroll for 35m like 6 months earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Ba was hardly 'unproven' like. Knees were an issue but a guy like that was always worth a punt. Especially for free. He wasn't the big name people expected us to go for though, especially after banking £35m for Carroll as Interpolic said. But yes, on a free he was great business.

I was pissed at that but I assumed he meant people thought Ba was rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Anyway, I look forward to seeing Riviere turning out for us, he does look an exciting player, will be brill if that translates into goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I'm happy with this signing, and really hopeful he can make a contribution. We hardly have any pace in the team, and this guy is rapid. It's such an underrated attribute in the prem. His career has never really got going it seems, but you just never know. He seems to be talented, as he was regularly selected for France coming up for all the different youth teams. We definitely need to add a clear cut striker with a good goal scoring record, but I think that will certainly come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Speaking of his pace, is he quicker or slower than Remy? Or about the same? Never seen this predator cunt play tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Obertan man ... the guy just looks scared of everything around him. Management should consider a psychologist. Makes me depressed, Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, wasn't phrased very well. Don't even know what I was trying to say now Essentially what I was trying to get at is that it sucks when you don't have any pace in the team, especially from any of your strikers. It can right so many wrongs. There were a lot of passes last season that maybe weren't the best to Cisse in particular, but someone with more pace would have had a chance, and at least troubled the defender chasing back. We really need that upfront. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
