Demba Ba

Sounds like conjecture and Bs tbh as nothing is that certain. If Demba comes of the bench and does amazing then that it won't be long before he is starting.

Any possibility of him and Torres starting together for matches?

Of course, but only in very few games.

Don't him lining up against us as we play Tottenham on Wednesday!

You play Spurs on Wednesday? i thought they were playing Reading?

Why very few though? I think theres definitely room for a partnership developing here, Ba being the target man with

torres running off him.

Because Rafa prefers 4-2-3-1. We don't have the wingers for a 4-4-2 either.

But just like with Drogba and Torres, you will see both on the pitch if we need a goal.

I highly doubt it.

Chelsea never announce anything quickly, even the starting line up on twitter...

If we are getting him for the price mentioned and his wages aren't around 100K, then I have no problems with this transfer. Good proven all round player purchased on the cheap, knee doesn't concern me hugely since we have very good medical staff. One problem I have with transfers from the BPL is how much their association with their former clubs will affect them, sometimes they just never really come to terms with the fact they are playing for a different team because they loved the previous one but this isn't often the case.

Demba Ba's performance against Arsenal was truly exceptional. Reminded me of how Drogba just use to bully other teams and be uncontrollable. Brilliant move for us, glad to see we are investing wisely.

Perhaps Malouda could make a comeback? And well Moses and Marin certainly fit the bill as decent wingers, perhaps

Benitez could tinker with some form of formation to accomodate tirres and ba, maybe the diamond, because the rewards of a good relationship forming between the two are quite high.

Random question - if Ba didn't have this release clause, how much do you think he'd be going for?

on MOTD they said 15-20m easily. cant believe we're spending wisely

Then after a few performances it went too far the other way

After a few performances he was a European cup winning defender so it couldn't have gone too far the other way without reason

Heard (from an NUFC fan) there's an issue regarding what we're willing to pay. Apparently his representatives want payment that would make Ba's fee rise up to, potentially, £12million.

He does have a circus of agents

Heard his wages according to daily fail:

40k per week, with a 20k per week fitness bonus - so not 'that' bad...

Brilliant from us. A Very good goalscorer for so cheap and we're going to get him in within the first few days of the Window. Just waiting until he replaces Torres as first choice then we have a chance at the title. Torres can play against the Weaker sides.
