SinineUltra 1,170 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If we signed him for £20m i'd be concerned. We signed him for £7m so i'm not even a tiny bit bothered. The 20mil includes his wages over the 3,5 years also as far as ive read.. people are adding all sorts of sums to the 7,5 mil to make it look like a bad transfer for chelsea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Fuck no. Having two crooked strikers trained under Benitez's training methods sounds like a very cruel joke. Does anyone follow Ba closely enough to know how serious/bad the situation is?What I understood is that his knee could "potentially" be problematic, but till now he hasn't suffered from it. He is certainly not injury prone, only missed 17 games the last 7 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 What I understood is that his knee could "potentially" be problematic, but till now he hasn't suffered from it. He is certainly not injury prone, only missed 17 games the last 7 years. Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is it's not a degenerative knee condition like Ledley King's (which he was born with) which was guaranteed to worsen as he continued playing football. This is a knee condition from a botched operation and could as Choulo said be problematic in the future. But that future could be in his 40's or not at all.This knee problem is also not like a cruciate ligament injury which we've seen ruin a number of player's careers like Essien. His Newcastle career is proof that his knee condition doesn't affect his ability to perform.If he were to fail his medical then that is completely different, but if his medical is passed are we really going to be against this transfer because of a 'what if'? As I've said before, this is a player seemingly at his peak, with a proven pedigree for scoring goals in the Premier League and is available for £7m.

Kostas 1,468 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If those number are true the it's definitely a non-issue or at least one that's not worth the e-ink I've seen wasted on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinol 337 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Apperantly his failed medical for Stoke wasnt the only medical he failed. After reading about him at Wikipedia it seems like he was going to move to Stuttgart from Hoffenheim but that transfer fell through aswell as he failed the medical.

AndersonBLUE 819 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 he is only 27, he is more likely to bust his knee hanging a cuckoo clock up when he's old enough to have grandkids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atwa 78 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 7 million is a steal for Ba, will surely help us loads if he gets the time, which is the crutch here really.. still he is experienced in the league and will probably score goals when its needed.

Yeboii 1,844 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Lets get straight Chelsea are paying something over 7 mills, because of agent fees. Still a pretty good deal. I hope Ba won't break his knee or whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Williams 166 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 The beautiful thing about Ba is that he can score very well from a well placed aerial ball, which our team is so good at delivering, we finally have someone who will have the off the ball movement to receive it and score.
