Jase 43,479 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Cisse is a lone striker. It showed when cisse was bought into Newcastle. Ba almost became invisible. If we were without a striker then he would be excellent. But we have Torres and Danny.Ba was shifted out wide by Alan Pardew in order to bring in Cisse into the team. That is why the goals dried up for the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 He'll be the best value of money for 7m,most likely a Cahill buy but if Danny stays at Chelsea then we shouldn't be in the market for any center forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themightyblue 443 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Would prefer if we just believed in Danny as a CF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themightyblue 443 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Come on give him a break, he's only 22 and was his first full season in a first team. Thats a lot of pressure on him and he was playing in a position that was unnatural to him, he needs to be given a chance to show what he can do in his natural decision before we think about getting rid of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 So if ba came in, we'd have 2 up front?When has that worked?No but we could well do with a decent backup to Torres. Having a 'Plan B' is crucial in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Traveler 256 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Indeed. With Drogba gone and Studge not showing any sign of maturity i think it would be decent to have a backup and we need one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluechip 5 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 BA in Drogba out! Sounds like a good transition to me.. Could he be our next Drogba? Past injuries would be the only concern signing him.. worth the risk though.. Its not like we will be paying an arm and a leg for him.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Just because he has a release clause of less than £7m doesn't mean we should just throw the money and sign him. That's the money you spend on kids like Marin who appear to be deemed a squad player, with the potential of being a pleasant, explosive, surprise. Not to deny Ba's ability, just think we should strengthen in other areas first and use what we already have in Sturridge & Lukaku (supposedly Torres too.)

Duppy Conqueror 1,536 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 7m to further hinder the careers of Lukaku and Sturridge by bringing in another knee injury nightmare don't seem a bargain to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluechip 5 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 7m to further hinder the careers of Lukaku and Sturridge by bringing in another knee injury nightmare don't seem a bargain to me.If we were keen on him he would need to pass our medical first.. An honest assessment of he's knee will probably see him fail.. This is where clubs that may be interested Need to way up if it's worth the risk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I would not be adverse to having a player of Ba's proven Premier League quality. He is a far better option than Sturridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a far better option than Sturridge.Really?Ba didn't play well out wide but Danny on the other hand scored 18 goals as a right winger,a position he is not used to.IMO,Danny would score plenty for us or any team as a center forward.

RamiCFC9 258 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sell Sturridge and get Ba+GVDW for that cash.Imo its brilliant deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I also think it's very difficult to change the system so quickly and not have any kind of physical presence up-front. Lukaku will almost certainly be loaned out which leaves us with Danny and Fernando. I would definitely welcome someone like Demba Ba, Dzeko or anybody who is different to our strikers. Variety is important, remember the days we used to play Robert Huth as a CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
