BOF Posted July 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2013 No-one said he's not good enough. That's not the same as not wanting him. It always amazes me what people read versus what is actually written 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amo69 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 No-one said he's not good enough. That's not the same as not wanting him. It always amazes me what people read versus what is actually written People start talking about wages and attitude etc. Why get concerned with this? We are led to believe that if the club have changed their approach to fee's, wage's and signing players who fit then we should believe that if Ba signs he meet all criteria. If he doesn't sign he obviously doesn't meet it. His ability is what we should be concerned about and at the end of the day he is a very good striker.

Spoony Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 You lot crack me up. We just about escape relegation but a Chelsea striker is not good enough for us. Who they play for is totally irrelevant. Stephen Ireland - Man City Shay Given - Man City Eric Djemba-Djemba - Man Utd Phil Bardsley - Man Utd Milan Baros - Liverpool You get my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2013 His ability is what we should be concerned about and at the end of the day he is a very good striker.He is a very good striker but if the only thing we concerned ourselves with was ability irrespective of cost (or age or anything else) then we'd be back where O'Neill had us. Short-term gain for long-term pain. I, for one, am glad Lambert has a longer-term plan for this club. It's been too long in coming and long may it continue. Ba is plenty good for our first team but I don't want him here for plenty of other reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amo69 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Just because he's a Chelsea striker doesn't make him amazing. I didn't see he is amazing but for the Champions of Europe to even sign him he isn't exactly going to be crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't you think we need some experienced players in the team? Btw in the O'Neil days the ability of most of his signings was questionable to.

We're just not going to sign big club's cast offs on big club's wages anymore. Thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Ba is only 28, so hes got at least 3 years left at the top level so age is not a concern for me. The issue with Ba is his wages, and his injury record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbr600rr Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 short term fix yes, ba is like CB as he creates his goals as bent is your finisher . so yes ba would/could replace CB, a striker from chelsea might be out of our price with wages etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think he's the type of player we're after :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 He does not fit the current plan This is why we will not be signing him... Were just as likely to sign Dale Stephens and Kiyotake in a double swoop with them being unveiled by JulieB Move along.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amo69 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 My point is if we signed him will we not be happy because we think he doesn't fit our current plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 My point is if we signed him will we not be happy because we think he doesn't fit our current plan? If he scores lots of goals and gets lots of assists i'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
