Have to laugh at the scouse for going down that root
Ba is a much better player, him and Suarez would be a strong old force and for half the price.He's a proper goalscorer and it would be a great move for him.
How anyone can sign a player contract with a 7 million release clause is beyond me.
Do we think this is a Rafa driven transfer or was being planned either way?
Was it Ba or Cisse who scored that incredible goal against Chelsea?
You'd never know with Roman to be fair.
Cisse banged in that curler from long range.
Thanks, guys.

I doubt Ba would even consider Liverpool. They're feeding of scraps these days.
If it was a deal breaker for him then I think they made the right choice, they got a really good player for free for a year and a half and now Chelsea are going to give them £7.5m for him, which will probably pay for the entirety of his wages for his time at Newcastle and then some.
Still, they can afford the fee no problem, just down to contract and all that. Worth a try at the very least. Going for a player like Sturridge is a step backwards....again.
Thank feck it's only Ba and not Falcao!
Roman's advisors.
I thought Ba's low release clause had something to do with the knee problem he's had for a while. The rumor has it he's one knock away from finishing his career.
That makes no sense.
They accepted a low release clause so if he gets injured someone will buy him out?
Or they set a low release clause to attract potential buyers and make some money off him if they could.. If not, they still have a decent striker they got for almost nothing.
The release clause won't be something Newcastle wanted in the contract, that's for sure, if they wanted to let him go for a low fee they don't need to include a clause, just accept low bids.
It's as said above, I think.
He used them as a stepping stone, he's obviously more than a £7.5m player but he signed for them for free so not only do they have a high value player for a period of time for free, but they also have £7.5m at the end of it.
It'd be terrible business to turn him away because of that release fee.
He's pretty much useless where he's playing now, not even worth his place in the team IMO. Defends like a striker so fullbacks are constantly punishing Newcastle when given all that space and he has almost no attacking qualities suited to out wide.
He'll go back to looking like a better striker than Ba once he's moved up top and everyone will benefit I think.
They need some new defenders. Debuchy is a good start and if they can replace Ba with a decent striker and get Cisse firing it might not be the end of the world.
Good move for all parties except Newcastle. £7million is a steal for Ba - and Chelsea will have a goalscorer in their ranks.
The team has been built around Ba all season - first in the shit 4-4-2 hoofball, then in the 4-3-3 with Cisse playing somewhere on Barrack Road. He's been scraping goals but we've been losing every week. This is what happens when your transfer policy slides towards finding a bargain rather than going and buying players that will function together.
Cisse back through the middle, Remy and Ben Arfa either side and interchanging. Some new defenders. We might actually start winning games. Back in the real world however, penny pinching will reign supreme and the thick twat will hoof balls towards Shola and Cisse for the rest of the campaign.

Without being disrespectful, why is Debuchy so set on moving to Newcastle? Is it down to Cabaye? Surely a player with the quality and international experience he has should be looking to move to a CL team?
Great signing, obviously. He's a massive upgrade on Simpson.
Only wee clubs interested I guess.
Unfortunately it will Ba & Falcao, with Torres told to feck off.
more likely that Falcao would cost £40m, and spending £40m to replace a £50m striker is just getting plain embarrasing and farcical.
Ba is a better deal. Piss all fee, and is well tuned to the Prem demands.
Heh. I doubt it. He looks a proper footballer. It's hard to believe a few clubs aren't after him at that price.
Yes, but Roman doesn't care. He will buy both of them.
Amazingly, despite the evidence to the contrary; there might actually only be a finite number of players that can be stockpiled by the select few.
I wouldn't worry too much, if he is actually any good there will be people making sure this anomaly is erased and he gets the move he truly deserves.
What does the Magpie faithful think about him speaking about his future and whoring himself to the rich clubs on daily basis Sewelly ?
can't be worse than torres, and even if he destroys his knee, it's a risk chelsea can afford.
Out of interest, how much is Torres currently worth?
Hard to judge, a team like Spurs might pay £15m whereas a team like Liverpool might pay £60m.
If Ba didn't have the whole 7m release clause surely he is worth more than Torres, his fee to Chelsea really does still baffle me!
Excellent news if its true, I have always thought he was a class player, but was afraid he would move to Liverpool. If we can offload porridge for 12.5 million you say? Thats criminal, hes really not worth that much.
Porridge, ha. Ba would be a steal for anyone at that price and would drastically improve Chelsea.
I think so to. Chelsea buy Ba for 7 mill and sell Sturridge to Liverpool for 12,5.
It must feel a bit bitter for Liverpool, again they will pay more and get less than their 'rivals'.
The gap is getting bigger. But, for Liverpool fans he will probably be the most talented left footed player in the PL and a better deal than Ba.
Sky Sources: Demba Ba's representatives do not expect him to join Chelsea after unproductive meeting & will now begin talks with other clubs.
