Demba Ba

[Hutcho 8,443]

Extremely happy about our signing... He didn't have to score today to prove that he can work here, as after a shaky 25 (for the whole team) we got into it, he linked up well with mata hazard moses. Was very rarely wandering down the wing and when he did he whipped in a great low cross. Instead whenever we got the ball wide he ran to the space and dragged defenders with him and was in and around the box. He made his prescense felt and gives us another player with a arial prescense instead of just ivan terry and cahill. Was in the right place at the right time for the first goal which was probably going in anyway but better to be safe to sorry and it is good he was right on it. But the second one was EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE MISSING. It wasn't that special with someone doing 4 players, cutting back chipping it up for an overhead, it was just a simple situation where he made a run, there was a precision pass from hazard and he calmly slotted it into the goal. Exactly what we need from a striker. He also seems like a big team player genuinely happy for his new team mates to score and has a good work rate. He will still his bad games to go along with the good ones as all players do. But for 7 mil, i don't think you could want much more. And, importanly he looks super cool in blue and gold.

Looked lost in the first half but vastly improved in the 2nd half, as did the team in fairness.

So happy that we finally have a striker, Torres would never be in the positions to score those goals and thats what we were missing.

To the tune of Bad by Michael Jackson:

Cause he's Ba, he's Ba, you know it ah.

And the whole world has to answer right now just to tell you once again, who's Ba.

[DH1988 1,346]

Oh Ah Demba Ba! Oh Ah Demba Ba!

Did anyone catch his interview on ITV tonight? He mentions Fernando and such. Very humble guy.

What a good occasion this was to introduce Ba to the squad. Other than Torres' first game against Liverpool. Goodness me, how much madness there has been at Chelsea over these last seasons.

Judging from what I could hear, there were already 3 different types of chants for Demba Ba. And not one using Ba ba black sheep!

Ba's second goal......cant stop watching it. So thats what a proper striker would do in that situation.

I think he could cope here very well not only as short term solution till summer (if his knee will be OK).

With Mata, Hazard, Moses, Oscar behind him and with crosses from Azpi he can do a lot of good.

now it seem the team hard work put together that torres waste all the time will change. Ba will be feared striker like van persi. When win is a must Ba is there to give us the winning goal
