🇸🇳 Demba Ba

[Special Juan 28,141]

Ba is a passenger, no other words. Striker in and him out please.

[Mouri_Matic 560]

I am disappointed with both Ba and some members here.

I expected more from Ba, he actually used to be very dangerous once... Bad day, bad game for him...

And I'm disappointed with some members because Torres takes 2 years with kajillion of played matches to make some people realize he is actually shit, while Ba only gets 1/100 of the credit Torres had...

If you bought a brand new Iphone and even though you don't like it you are not going to throw it away and buy a new one because it costs quite a bit. On the other hand, if you buy a pre owned nokia for £20 and doesn't like it, you will just throw it away anytime you like. Same situation here, Torres was given more chance because of his price tag and the fan's desperation to see him success. You buy a new Mac running IOS but don't know how to use it, of course you are going to hope that you will eventually master it like you used to with Window, because it is damn expensive.

Woeful performance. He must have broken the offside record. But let's be fair a bit here. It was an incredibly difficult game for a lone striker to play in. He was always isolated with 5-6 Villa players around him. Our midfield and AMs created absolutely NOTHING for him. His performance can't be compared to Lukaku because we scored shortly after the Belgian came on and Villa then pushed forward to get an equalizer leaving spaces behind them while Ba did not have any spaces when he was on.

This is always difficult.. on the one hand you know that our strikers are isolated and that it's hard for them to get opportunities, but on the other hand you want them to score and be able to create something even when its difficult, because that's what a world-class strikers do.

I mean we could have said the same about Torres and Hull.

[Special Juan 28,141]

I think playing two different strikers in two games tells you all you need to know about how unsure Jose is about what he's seen already. If we had an out and out top class striker you wouldn't of seen a change in that position like we have in the last two games, unless an injury occurs.

People are calling for Lukaku because of how short of quality our other two are. He hasn't played so it's more like 'he can't be any worse' he probably can't but what if he is? We aren't on easy street here, and it's why we need a top class forward like Rooney.

Lukaku is still raw, and he deserves his chance but I am not one to pin my hopes on him flying out of the blocks.

I think Torres was much better against Hull than Ba was yesterday. His movement is miles ahead. I think Fernando is our first choice ST at the moment and I fully expect him to start against Manu.

I expect him to start as well, and I don't mind as long as he can link up with the 3 behind him like he did on Sunday. Lukaku can be the impact sub like he was against them on SAF's last game in charge.

[edenhazard17 281]

A lot of assumptions in there that may not be true.

Time will tell

I made that conclusion, simply because I can't see we would sell Torres or Lukaku. Ba will might be sold or loaned.

Demba Ba appears the most likely to be sold #CFC (Guardian).

I feel sad for him.

his career stalled after coming to Chelsea.

No good service to him last season but I think he could have been good under Mourinho's style this season, but theres Lukaku who is more hungry than him.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I wonder if Jose meant him when he said we'll probably have to loan out if we buy..

[We Hate Scouse 10,327]

Out of the squad tonight.

Looks like he's off, which suggests a strikers arrival is imminent.

off to??

[We Hate Scouse 10,327]

off to??

Roma is my guess

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Please no loan just sell him. What is the point of loaning a 27 year old player??

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Reading on twitter that SSN are reporting that he's in talks to go back to Newcastle on loan (haven't seen SSN themselves reporting it though).

Well, some might feel sad for BA. Personally, I feel he had his chances & plenty of them. Did he show us anything better than Torres ? No, he didn´t, I feel. Therefore, he should be sold or at least loaned out.
