Demba Ba

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

Perfect solution till we can have a look at our squad during the summer. 7m is an absolute steal for him - no pressure on him either, he is a hungry player, 27 years old, can say he hasn't even peaked yet. I hope this one goes through.

The problem is will he fail his medical? He has failed them for two clubs in his career.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

I'm skeptical but fuck it, it's not like I'm paying, 7mil is defo worth a try. There's probably a problem with his knee but he has already proven he can play and score for quite a long time.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Would love to sign him but the key thing is to sign another striker with him in case he get's injured.Ba and Llorente/walcott/bony and we are set.

[LondonPride1905 236]

Even if he does not padd, I think the club can still accept. Hope we sign him.

[Hutcho 8,443]

It's not like he will be under a shit load of pressure realistically as the amount of time torres has had to try and make it work he should be fine.

I really want this to happen now. I thought he was going to arsenal but would be great if he wasn't too... Especially as Falcao looks unlikely to want to come in january.

[Milan 17,835]

I came back, saw us winning at the Goodison and then us being seriously linked with Ba. Very good Sunday indeed!

[DYC. 7,542]

Fast, sharp, very strong, great in the air, more than decent touch, scores goals. Scores goals against top teams and even has knack of scoring some stunners.. It's not like there's talk about signing him for 30 mil. For the reported fee, he'd make a excellent signing despite his dodgy knee.

Leaving this topic before some fool appears saying Demba Ba is a not a good name because of his age, his knee, he plays for Newcastles and not in a top team or bacause we should instead go for Lewandovsky.

Despite his 'knee problems' he has never got injured for Newcastle IIRC. Would be a decent buy. My question is does this mean Lukaku is set for more loans and how does this impact with Falcao one must wonder?

[Superblue 6,331]

I think the talk of his knee is very overated - he's hardly Ledley King playing once every three games.

He's played week in week out for West Ham and then Newcastle in the Premier League for the last two years.

If he does have a degenerative condition it is unlikely to affect him too bad for the next couple of seasons at least - he looks very fit and sharp and seems to be at his peak. And coming to join us, he won't have to play every game like he does at Newcastle. You would expect us to be able to manage him better.

I think we will go for Falcao in the summer, likely as a replacement for Torres. Lukaku may spend another season on loan or return as third choice striker behind Falcao and Ba depending on the amount of games we can provide him with.

[Hutcho 8,443]

He is now 1/6 to go to us.

Be great to have a proper target man back in the team. He is 27 as well so got quite a few years and his knee problem seems overly Brought up. He is also gonna be under 10 mil and that seems like great value to me.

Perfect player for us, will bech Nino because he is guided by his religion , a true muslim , Torres is more caring about himself than Chelsea , Demba Ba will be a succes , be sure.

[GermanBlue 82]

Best player we can go for in January. Cheap fee and a good goal scoring record which will surely extend when he plays with our attacking mid. Let's do this!

I think this is the perfect way to go, if Lukaku is pleased with it. Our attack striker would be solved!

I still prefer wilfred bony he is a natural lone striker only 23 years of age and without a knee problem and highly prolific. GBAM!!!perfect replacement for the loss of sturridge.

But that would be more of a gamble (young, unproven)..
