Demba Ba Thread

[Marc Overmars]

Sounds like this move could happen if we agree a loan fee with Chelsea.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nicely done.

But we still need a striker nonetheless.

[GP]

At least between him and Sanogo we'll have one good pair of knees.

[Cripps_orig]

Should have got him in January.

Better late than never.

Welcome home Ba

And his awesome celebration

Not happy with this - we've had ages to have a list of potential strikers should deals not happen with Higuin, Suarez, Shrek etc. - Why do we think someone who can't get a game for a team where's his main opposition is "Torres" - is good enough for the Arse!!!!

[Boss]

Average at best but a better backup than Sanogo for sure. Assume we'll use Walcott at CF if Giroud gets injured.

Torres is an abramovich buy. Has to play.

Ba has scored wherever he's been

We were only ever going to get a maximum of one world-class, high profile signing and that's obviously Ozil now. Be honest, none of us even expected even one. Wenger has accepted Giroud as our main striker now and we'll see at the end of the season if it's the right decision.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

We need cover for Giroud. Best we can hope for until January or next Summer.

[Penguin]

Ba might not be everyone's cup of tea but he has got goalscoring ability and he's miles better than Bendtner and Sanogo so this would be a decent bit of business in the short term, provided Giroud doesn't massively flop.
