Demba Ba

lol, very amusing reading all the posts by these Fernando fanboiz slamming ba

During his first year at the club Torres had 5 goals in all competitions - Ba has 9 goals in all competitions so far in his first year at the club.

Obviously Ba is the superior striker over the course of their first year with nearly twice as many goals, but anyone who qualifies Torres as a striker at this point is being generous to him.

So you watched the game tonight then? Ba couldn't hit a barn door mate!

I have never said that Ba is good enough to be a striker at CFC - you can check my posts about Ba, I said it was a mistake to sell our best striker to Liverpool and buy a replacement who could go crooked at any time.

I'm just annoyed it's Torres fanboys saying Ba is crap when their idol isn't better.

Both would be lucky to be playing in the Championship based on their form at CFC and that goes for Eto'o as well.

Yes , But TORRES was world class , and he shows glimpses of it , BA has never been even anywhere near world class , Torres has scored a couple of winners this season torres , BA only ever gets goal number 2 or 3 of a game when he does!

That's a bit harsh on emile mate!

Not even close. Emile had strength and pace about him (early in his career at least).

It's hard to believe what a pussy he is on the ball.

I really was NEVER sure why we got Demba, he never seemed a Chelsea player. We should have lost him the transfer window and got some good. Also never should have got Etoo

Ba was signed to be our second choice striker.The hate he's getting now is just unbelievable considering most of you were had such good things to say about him when he performed above average last season.This season he's been average at most because he has not gotten many chances but yes that is no excuse for his recent performances.I know its frustrating to have 3 inconsistent strikers in the team but there is nothing we can do.Blaming Ba in particular and questioning why we ever bought him won't help.

no ba gets some winners. steau , man u , west brom last year ect.

torres is the guy who scores a tap in vs leeds when we are 4-1 up

both are dogshit but i would bet on ba getting more matchwinning goals than torres.

Would be a shame, honestly. Our problem is not our third-choice striker it's the ineffectivity of the first choice strikers. I think Ba is not bad to have around. He offers something different which we can use in some games.

Plus him leaving means that we'll need to get another back-up striker which I find unlikely. I think he's staying until the summer at least.

Yeah agree,Just found it strange during this crazy time that his name wasnt even on the bench

Well there's only space for one striker in the lineup and one on the bench so one will always have to miss out. Think he'll probably be on the bench vs Southampton.

All seat are reserved for players & BA ain´t one of them, he is busy packing.

Why NOT bring Bamford back as 3rd striker??
