Demba Ba

[Spike 12,049]

Even if it's the former, the financial risk is not that great, judging by the terms I've seen bandied about.

What are his wages?

7.5 million transfer fee

2 million agent fee

I'm hearing about 70-80k per week.

Sone sources I hear Newcastle were paying him £20k pw basic and £20k per appearance and we've offered to double both.

Other sources I'm hearing £70-90k pw.

[gary gordon 1,777]

If he turns up and wants to win, Fuck it, I'll admit i was wrong. But Chelsea have had the knack of buying some average forwards in the last 10 years.

Ladyboy

Sheva

Sturridge

Pizzaro

Disanto

Kezman

Let's call it the Didier Drogba curse. Because he makes everybody around him look like shit

I seriousley hope we are considering to buy another striker aswell in this window. I dont care if its a 40 year old or an 18 year old. Just ANYONE who is even close to being decent. I dont want to go untill the summer watching Torres dragging us further down the hole. While Ba is a refreshment, you never know. He could get injured.

I disagree.

We need to look at the italian and spanish markets for central midfielders.

And if we can, try to have Capoue of Toulouse in January of next summer.

If we want to get a CM in the pivot, then I suggest we should look at Cabaye. An underrated quality player.

He is injured at the moment.

Or just use the one we already have: KDB. He is so underrated on here. For me and other belgians that have seen him play he is a Hazard-calibre player. Also, the way he instantly adapted to the Bundesliga AND carries the team there right now, suggest he is already up for Chelsea - very mature. His passing, vision and speed of execution is what we need now.

Ps: fuck Torres

[Stingray 9,441]

Also. I don't know ifthese stats are worrying or reassuring ....

[GermanBlue 82]

Just that 70 vs. 33 shots stat is interesting. Shows what a lazy ass Torres is, and you have to think about it: Ba gets these 70 shots out of midfield of a 15th placed team. Just imagine that with our midfield.

[Clevemayer 764]

I've always liked ba very much, I've even rated him higher then Ibisevic when they firstly came to the Bundesliga... bu I still don't think he is worldclass but you never know, he is for sure a top striker and a bargain for 7.5 M. he is really cheap, businesswise someone told me he thinks this was the best move since mata and I have to say I admit...

nontheless he has to prove he is good enough for chelsea to take them back to glory... anyway every one is better then that sissi upfront atm.

Ba has agreed terms. Anything better than torres please.

You must be nuts. We got enough options there at the moment. Mata, Hazard, Oscar can all play there.

We need strikers who can draw defenders away, create space, shoot, score goals, we need a target man...

Not the same positions at all. Capoue is a CM or DM, Mata, Hazard, Oscar are not at all.

[bushman 2,043]

Even though, I was & still am skeptical about BA but as I read above anyone is better than that Spanish fly currently playing hide&seek behind the opposition´s defense.
