Weekend Fixtures 1/2 Dec + Newcastle v Wigan

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Can anyone explain to me why I don't really rate Ba?

I can't put my finger on why or offer any logical reason for it, and with every goal he scores it sounds more ridiculous, but I just don't think he's that good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You're racist. Or it's just that he doesn't actually score that many goals.

Also, 3-0 FT.

I've hidden it well.

Really though I was trying to argue why we shouldn't buy Ba and then couldn't really figure out why I don't think he's very good, especially when compared to the number of goals the rest of the team scores.

Ooh, consistency over a full season....

Don't think he is Liverpool special if you know what i mean. He is good for Newcastle/Spuds and maybe us, but you boys are used to that special player for that special night.

his finishing is the best part of his game and he does hold the ball up quite well too. he has nothing 'outstanding' about him in terms of movement, speed or overall ability which is why he may not catch your belief in him.

like giroud he's a 3/4 choice at a club challenging for honours and when you compare him to your suarez's or aguero's then of course they are top bracket players that energise any team they play. ba understands the english game very well and fits the newcastle approach to a tee but the natural comparisons with others will never be favourable for him.
