Demba Ba

[FriendlyMailman 15]

he's hardly missed a game with his dodgy knees

I know. I just think its funny that Chelsea will pay Hazard 170k p/w but won't pay up 90 or so for Ba

Hazard's on 110K p/w isn't he? Secondly, comparing a 27 year old with a dodgy knee (albeit a very good goalscorer) to a 21 year old potentinal Ballon D'or winner sought after by the whole world, is quite ridiculous.

If Ba can score goals like he is for newcastle at the moment I think 90k is reasonable.

110k p/w sorry. Much more reasonable wages for a 21 yr old 'potential ballon d'or winner'...

To be honest guys i think its bullshit that Torres earns so much doing nothing while Ba can do much more and he is asking for 80-90k while Torres is earning like 175k. DA FUQ CHELSEA DAFUQ?!

Its not his wages, its the 2 million or so his "advisors" (not even his agent) want thats the problem.

We need to sit down with his actual agent

[OneMoSalah 8,661]

Who mentioned selling him? And we don't keep them, we let them go for free even when they are worth a few million. Drogba for example. More than likely Frank and Ash.

When you compare him to Torres, he's worth every penny of 120K. It's a shame about the risks involved though.

You said we don't get a valuable return on our investment so I thought you were hinting at potential resale value....... if your meaning Villa isn't worth the 12-15 million euros which Barca are reportedly considering letting him go for and won't live up to that fee then well how do I say this in a nice way, well I'm sure your a nice guy and all... but.... just a little bit off your head

No point mentioning Torres now, hes sadly our best striker but worst outfield player.....

[YouNameIt 1,511]

No way he will go with that

His current contract is 40k week basic with 20k game fee, so normally 60k week.

We offered 80k - he wants more

20k week increase, over £1 million a year pay-rise! Like WTF - what 'sane' person wouldn't snap that up!!!

If he's too stupid to see the benefit and to be in a team challenging for trophies, then perhaps he ain't CFC material after all.

That's not me on my high horse - just flabbergasted at some people's greed and idiocy, on top of the £1 million per year, he's also getting £2 million cash from Newcastle and no doubt a decent signing on bonus and millions in fees to his 'agents/family' - now if that ain't taking the piss don't know what is?

Also, we need to remember, every professional player is insured, if he's uninsurable, then it's a massive, massive risk. As somebody else said this guy is one tackle away from a wheelchair...

Can anyone hand on heart honestly say that isn't a possibility with Chelsea's history of strikers :(

If he doesnt go with that then screw him.

If I was incharge the only way Id sign Ba wouldnt be with an appearance based contract, considering his injury(ies).

I mean just imagine if we'd sign him and go with Ba+Torres and after a few weeks Ba gets injured and away for 6 months. That would be devastating. There is a risk involved here and if we are gonna take the risk signing this guy we have to cover our ground so we dont just end up with another player on a high payroll whos not even on the bench.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

The risk associated with Ba and the fact Moses is going to ACON means we really should go after Villa.

I understand the risk with his knee but hes got 2 straight seasons of football without it affecting him so surely (well I hope) he'd be alright if we got him. Villa though, sign him up!

WE'VE SIGNED DEMBA BA ON A THREE YEAR DEAL, WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sky Sports Sources ‏@SSNSources

SKY SOURCES: We understand that Demba Ba has agreed a three-year deal with Chelsea and will complete his move in the next 48 hours. #CFC

Just checked, that account isn't verified, I'm not so happy now.. could be lies

[Rambo 1,729]

I wonder what number he'll wear

[bushman 2,043]

Well, I hope he won´t flop just like injury prone Marin.

[Rambo 1,729]

this is what i read on twitter...

The @SSNSources isn't related to Sky Sports in anyway, No deal has been agreed for Demba Ba.

[OneMoSalah 8,661]

Yeah I edited my post saying it might be lies, fucking fake pages

Cmon, hope the real Sky Sports page post something like that, would be great....

[Zola kinda blue 89]

Yep, look at the links, its like a newsnow collection of "news" swept up from the net

They have the SSN marin not going on loan story and the suns Torres will accept being benched etc

Dont belive it for one second

[Svita 10 186]

What about Pappis Cissé, he isn´t bad right? I just can't forget his last goal against us

Very similar player to Ba IMO, but still needs some time to be at his level. A good alternative though.
