Sir Mikel OBE 4,920 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Scored a great brace today to secure toon a point. They were out-classed most of the day though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 £7m release clause is again active in January - this should be who we buy. His knees are worth the risk for that sort of money and even going to the ACN shouldn't deter us, he would be a great buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 £7m release clause is again active in January - this should be who we buy. His knees are worth the risk for that sort of money and even going to the ACN shouldn't deter us, he would be a great buy.Even if it's just until summer, it doesn't seem that bad a deal. I imagine we could probably flog him for at least £5 million in the summer and the one thing he does is score goals. There's a myth we don't create chances - I think we simply need a short-term poacher like him or Bent just to get us to the end of the season.

Krypt 241 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I think as a cheaper option why not ?We just need a striker that does what they are brought in for .. score goals....not run around for 90 mins falling over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I think he is also capable of making his own chances and taking them. All the talk of Torres not getting the right service - he cost £50m and can't even create his own chances!I wouldn't look at Ba as a short term option. He's only 27 and we could protect his knees by not playing him all the time. He would provide significant depth in our strikeforce for a few seasons.A strikeforce next season of Lukaku, Ba and another (top striker) sounds so much stronger than the shite we have this year!

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Well his knees might be a problem but if he is in form then its worth the risk.My concern is that he blows hot and cold,he hardly scored in the 2nd half of last season.

Corner 456 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Well, I've heard Walcott's name being thrown around a fair bit, and I would would take Demba Ba any day over Walcott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I would have demba ba over torres even if he was only allowed to use one leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I would have demba ba over torres even if he was only allowed to use one leg.At the moment I would take ANY striker ahead of Torres. Hell, I would even chose to have a rock in the box so we could shoot the ball on the rock into the goal. I bet the rock would have better finish than Torres.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Warming to the idea of signing him, 11 goals so far this season I think. Only problem is he goes to ACN in January I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Nah, Senegal aren't in it.Sign him up then! 7 or 7.5 mil release clause plus he guarantees you 10-15 goals per season. Him, Walcott and Pjanic (since we are linked with both Walcott & Pjanic) in = brilliant window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OReillyD36 311 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Knowing our luck, that whole "dodgy" knee will rear its ugly head if we sign him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
