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.

BA to me at 80thou a week is overpaid. You could be right, who´s going to pay him so much ?

Perhaps, 2m for a loan might be more feasible to expect ?

He was so cheap and we was so desperate so we overpaid. Right now some Middle East club probably will but then again he is not a big name player so they aren't interested.

And Garry Cahill on 80K is not? We over-pay for everyone in terms of wages. Hell, even Yossi f***ing Benayoun was on 80K IIRC!

I know, most of these footballers are making huge money.

However, I would not compare Cahill to BA at 80thou a week. To me Cahill is much closer to it than BA ever will.

Maybe, but still way too much considering he was probably making less than half of that at Bolton.

We both know, these footballers are overpaid. If I were making 80 thou a week, I tell you I would be the happiest bug in the rug.

Sure, but his Bolton contract was about to expire that year so being an England international regular he most certainly would have got a good contract elsewhere had he waited till the summer and moved on a free transfer.

Can't wrap my head on how Mata is on 50K/wk while Ba and Cahill are on 80.

Anyway, back to Ba.

Cahill is English... and Ba was a panic signing.

That explains a lot about what's been going on with Mata; they must be having some very serious money talks.

Ba going back to Newcastle makes no sense...

He should move abroad (if Roma are still interested)..

[Leif 6,006]

Hopefully he goes to Roma. Lazio are about to sign Yilmaz so buying Ba would somewhat even that potential mind-game out (which is obviously a huge part of their alleged interest in him.) I think he'd end up with around 20 goals this season in Italy. Don't see him recapturing form in the Premier League.
