The only place to be 11,313 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Think this guy is the new Kalou - gets the third goal in a 3-0 win, will occasionally start and flatter to deceive but is ultimately nothing more than a seat-filler.The fact that we kept this guy rather than trust Lukaku makes it hard for me to warm to him as well and he's fortunate that we have such a paucity of talent up-front. He's also deceptively weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also deceptively weak.Ba was supposed to leave in the summer and join Arsenal on loan but everything fell apart when Ozil signed for Arsenal.So,I really don't think Jose deserves all the hate for deciding to send Lukaku out on loan and getting the chance to play every week instead of battling with 4 strikers at Chelsea.

chelseathebest 150 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 15 million seems highly unlikely for a player like Ba. But definitely we should sell him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 For a big guy, he surprisingly doesn't win many balls in the air. agreed. People call him target man here, which I agree would have been a good alternative if true, but he isn't that player. He's more of a poacher actually. He goes to the ground way too often for a guy of his build - really puzzling.Actually think Lukaku is physically stronger and better in the air than Ba.Ba is a decent player who can score goals, but he can't possibly be a starter for Chelsea (or Roma).

An imperfect target-man, to say the least. Sidzeret 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An imperfect target-man, to say the least.Absolutely. He can whip in goals with his long legs but does seem quite stiff at times.
