No my dear. But it's looking very likely dear...

No offence or anything but I'm not sure if you watched the right Ba or you have just confused yourself with Torres...

Wouldn't say no to that!

I hate how @ has completely ignored me recently. :cry:

You basically then admitted Justin Bieber is handsome too.

I appreciate it, honestly. Can't get much better than waking up to see a bunch of adorable kitties.

Not even being mentioned in there...I feel bloody offended!

The poll is up for the Member of the Month award. Vote vote vote!!!

OR rather that. But we'll probably just stick with 'bitches'.

You mean the Bieber part?

It's not about potential here. It's about Mourinho getting Ba back to what he did best for his previous clubs and extracting just that little more out of him. Yes, he wasn't a world class player like Torres once was but Ba is effective at what he does - scoring goals(and more) - like he has shown in the past. Unlike Torres, Ba has a good mentality and strong character. It will be easier for Mourinho to work with him and get him back to his previous form, even as a squad player. Many managers have come and gone failing to get Torres into any sort of form or consistency throughout a season. Mourinho is great but not god. He can't do much if a player like Torres is already well on a decline and showed many signs that he can't be helped anymore.

This is just scary... Anyway, welcome to the club Marco 'Bieber' van Ginkel.

Actually Ba isn't being sold because he's bottom of the pecking of our strikers at the moment. It's because of the reason you mentioned with Torres there. Nobody would be willing to pay his wages and fees while Ba is on lower wages and wouldn't require a high fee to get him. Nobody is saying Ba should stay be our No.1 ST in the starting XI. People are basically saying he will be a decent option as 2nd or 3rd choice to use against lower rank oppositions but the tragic thing here is Ba will probably be sold only because it's easier to do so compared to Torres. It's funny how people go on and on about Mourinho will improve Lukaku, get Torres back to somewhere near his best form but yet, nothing similar or same is said about Ba. He has showed what's he got at West Ham and Newcastle. Ba didn't suddenly just become a bad player because he joined us or like some of his games made it out to be. Someone like Mourinho can get more out of Ba especially when you consider he isn't a washed up striker like some flop blondie.

How so? When Ba isn't scoring the goals, he still gave just that little bit more than Torres to the team. He still make threatening runs in and around the opposition's defence and offer better off the ball movements (think how he got into positions to score but just didn't). And not to mention, his hold up play is so much better than Torres's in helping us keep the ball, win free kicks and bring others into play. With Torres, he's like a statue upfront who doesn't move and more often than not, get bullied off the ball far too easily. Too easy for people to completely missed these aspects just because Ba hasn't scored a lot. It's just like how people are wanking over Torres because he scored a few goals past average to poor oppositions in the Europa League and Confederations Cup when in actual fact, his performances have hardly even been average to say the least. His goals has masked his poor performances such as when he did play in the Premier League against better oppositions, he hardly ever looked like scoring and of course, he went 4 1/2 months before knocking one past an opposition!

5.30pm today UK time.

Think Ramires might have meant something like Mourinho being a 'demanding' person as opposed to an actual angry one. Mistranslated possibly.

You said we won't buy Cavani (or any other ST for that matter) because we supposedly already have enough of them. Hence why I said what I said in the previous post.

You have just made that painful feeling even worse...

Based on that, I could easily turn around and say to you that the only reason you know or believe they aren't true is simply because you want it to be that way...

Erm, that wasn't even the issue I was alluding to in the first place. And on Schurrle you mention there, he was bought more for adding depth and providing a different option (in terms of operating in his main position at LW). If you want to talk about depth and width, then we probably should be buying a right winger, if anything.
