different level 1,056 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Now that Sturridge is gone I expect the Ba deal to be officially announced in the next 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterfall 893 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 We basically went the last 3 months without Sturridge, the Board's probably not in a huge rush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Lets look at it objectively. 3 seasons (if we're lucky) at 15 goals per season. 45 goals. 15M. 100K P/w wages = 15.6M means your looking at 666K per goal for Villa. Someone like Lewandowski aged 24 is far better value long term. Buying Villa would be silly.Anyway, Sturridge deal confirmed, Ba deal must be nearly complete or we wouldn't have let the news be released. Gives Ba and his agent far more leverage.How will we be lucky to get 15 goals out of Villa btw, the guys a natural goal scorer - arguably one of the greater goal scorers of the last 10 years. Give him 40 games a season as a CF i bet you he'd score 20-25 goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igi26 346 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Ba will come now I'm 90% already. Only thing that can stop him is his knee nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanBlue 82 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 There's no chance we would have let Danny go without confirming everything with Ba, contract, medical etc. first, our board are not THAT dumb.This. I think he'll arrive at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Quite the contrary. BA is just about signed, I am pleased to add now. Hopefully, he will pop them goals in soon. I love to see him popping 2 against the nippers of Arsenal. Once again, cheap Arsenal policy prevent them from getting BA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo810 5 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Buying another 24 year old who has at least 7 years ahead of him could block Lukaku's route into the team. I'd rather players in their prime right now so 2, 3 or 4 years down the like Lukaku can develop then walk in the team when hes ready.At 31 your out of your prime.Your declining and spending 15M on a declining player is ridiculous With Lewandowski, well you need more than one striker in your squad, could quite easily have Lewandowski and Lukaku in the squad, different options. Also if for some reason you couldn't you could sell him on for a profit, not just let him go for free..Lukaku won't be out on loan in 3 years time anyhow.How will we be lucky to get 15 goals out of Villa btw, the guys a natural goal scorer - arguably one of the greater goal scorers of the last 10 years. Give him 40 games a season as a CF i bet you he'd score 20-25 goals. Even at 33 in the premier league? When he's recently scored 17 in 44. Don't make me laugh..Anyways, theres 0% chance of the villa deal going through with the Ba deal almost complete. No surprise, I doubt we had any interest at all.

No surprise, I doubt we had any interest at all.Do you watch football? Have you ever seen David Villa play when hes playing well as a CF? When he carried Spain in the 2010 WC at 29 y/o? No? He'd score over 20 goals easily at Chelsea with Mata, Mazard and Oscar/Moses, not even joking he'd score that easily. He may be 31 but I'll say it again, hes never been about pace. Hes always been about movement and getting into goal scoring positions. Torres with no pace = shite. Villa with no pace = good still. You have to remember Villas been playing as a LW for Barca, they channel everything through Messi, he takes all their pens their freekicks. Usually Villa would take pens at Valencia and for Spain. If Villa took half the pens Messi took he'd have at least 10 more goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to remember Villas been playing as a LW for Barca, they channel everything through Messi, he takes all their pens their freekicks. Usually Villa would take pens at Valencia and for Spain. If Villa took half the pens Messi took he'd have at least 10 more goals.Two years ago, before he had broken his leg and was still in his prime. Remember Cole at 29? Best LB in the world, you can call that into question now with 1 or 2 of the Lb's in Spain He's not your traditional winger though. More an inside forward for Barca, where he's now third choice. He wouldn't be taking pens or freekicks here either. Like I said before, pace isn't the only thing that leaves you as you age. But theres no point arguing with you, as you won't see sense, you obviously have some sort of love for Villa, because as good as he is, there are far better forwards out there now and he's not worth anywhere near the 30M he'd cost us over 3 years. Especially if he posts stats like the ones he's had recently and I doubt he'd even score that many, as you'll score more in La Liga than the prem. The service from Barca is better than the service from Moses and co as well. They have twice as many attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovieticus 743 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 If Ba comes, I'm sure he won't be in starting 11. Reason for that he needs to adopt. But when he starts in 11, we will finally be equal and play with 11 men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
