Demba Ba

[Severinb 309]

His knee problem is overrated IMO.

Tell me how it can be overrated if he has failed a couple of medicals?HOW?

Its just a joke that we would sign him if he did not pass the medical..

[Stats 7,053]

He's 27 years old, right?

Yes, 27

[Stats 7,053]

He is banned for Europe League,right?

A bit of a harsh word. I say ineligible.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Wait, isn't he off to the ACoN this year?!

[Term-X 7,891]

An Anelka type/calibre signing, in terms of being a reasonably priced forward at his peak..

Not necessarily doom & gloom for Lukaku either, given the inevitable Torres exit next season.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Wait, isn't he off to the ACoN this year?!

Nope.

[Severinb 309]

If he fails a medical i dont want him "small" clubs like newcastle,west ham and stoke buy players that fail medicals because they have no other choice we do..

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Fingers crossed everything happens smoothly and quickly.

Thats fine play torres in the europa and demba in the rest...

[22mek22 133]

I feel he will start much more league games than we think.

Not only does Rafa love rotation, but with him out of the EL, Torres will have to start them and will be hard to do Thursday-Sunday all the time.

So the Sunday games will be when he will start IMO

Senegal didnt qualify

[Hutcho 8,443]

They didn't quali.

Lukaku i still only 19 it should have limited effect except that west brom will keep him for the rest of the season and maybe one more as well.

Well someone make a welcome thread for Ba ba black sheep.
Anyway he won't be able to play in Europa and FA/COC cup for us as he will be cup tied. Correct me if i am wrong please!!

A bit of a harsh word. I say ineligible.

And why is that?

Edit. I got it now

[Stats 7,053]

And why is that?

Edit. I got it now

Banned sounds as if he done something wrong, while ineligible sounds more efficient to use.

A good news BA is not going to Africa.

Funny news I read above Ferda is going in the summer....where ?

Perhaps, on vacation to Tahiti ?

OK folks, Chelsea have triggered the official offer....BA was withdrawn from tonight´s game after being given permission to hold talks with Chelsea.

[Leif 6,006]

My perfect scenario would be having Ba as our starting striker in the PL and 'unleashing' (lol) Torres in the Europa League.
