Demba Ba

has it been confirmed by the club?

No

He did fail medicals at Stoke and Stuttgart so the signing is not 100% certain yet.

Having a medical. Not sure he will fit in with our style. Overall he will cost the club about £20m if reports of him earning £75,000 a week are true. We only got around £12m for Sturridge and some of that City get. He can't play in the Europa League and for the three and half year contract very possibly will be missing for the 3 January's if Senegal qualify for the African Nations. On top of that, he will be 31 when his contract is up so will therefore leave for nothing. So, the club payout £20m and get no financial return.

In Buck/Emenalo we trust

If you are to count the whole 20mi we are spending, you have to add Sturridge's 60k/week in the math as well...

@mattlewis27 Demba Ba undergoing Chelsea medical at Stamford Bridge now. He has already agreed a three-and-a-half-year deal. #CFC

Difference is that Sturridge can be sold by Liverpool. If we end up signing Cavani/Falcao etc to replace Torres in 6 months time - you can expect Ba to throw his toys out like he did at Hoffenheim and Newcastle

Anyhow hope he scores a bucket load during the next 6 months allowing us to qualify for the CL, if he does that than all other scepticism will go out of the window - sadly we will need to play Torres in the Europa League

We needed a good and league proven striker in the early days of the transfer market and Ba met the requirement perfectly.Can't really complain about this deal as there weren't many other options available.

if you are including wages then Torres costs almost TEN million a year on top of the Fifty Million transfer fee and any extra agents charges ..

of course we shall get about 60 million back when we sell him

Who would buy Torres for 60m? I doubt even Anzhi or Zenit would be that stupid.

I am guessing he was being sarcastic.
