Schalke and Hoffenheim are reportedly considering a bid for Demba Ba. (Daily Mail)

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.

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

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

Out of the squad tonight.

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

off to??

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

off to??

Roma is my guess

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.

[Styles 9,790]

Tough luck. Torres' salary means he can't be moved on and Lukaku is a long-term player, that leaves Ba as the easiest player to move on out of the three forwards. Wish him well for the future.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Why would we want to loan him out, though? He's 28, all a lone does is decrease his market value if we want to sell him next year. Either keep him or sell him.

[gr123 167]

Loan? Fuck that, just get rid. We'd probably have to pay half his wages on loan anyway.

[bushman 2,043]

Preferably, BA should be sold while his value is high. A good point by the above posters. At 28 not worth of waiting much longer.

[Jype 6,398]

Why a loan? Either keep him or sell him, simple as that. He was great for Newcastle and we got him for below his market value because of the release clause only seven months ago so surely there's someone out there willing to pay enough for us to break-even.

How much is Ba currently earning per week here? Around 80k?? Maybe nobody is willing to pay that amount if we are to sell Ba to them.

IIRC he used to get 20K at Newcastle in the weeks where he does not play and 40K in the weeks that he does. It was said that we double this when he moved here.
