Demba Ba.

Surprised no-one's been in for him.Scored for fun for Newcastle last season before the other Cisse arrived.Pardew's been sweating on someone not going in and exercising the clause in Ba's contract that would allow him to be sold for £7m BEFORE 31st July.Better option than Defoe? - only asking.

thought he had gone...china or russia..havent checked though

Apparently he is a bad injury waiting to happen , don't know the full details but have heard this a few times. £7 million would be considered a big risk etc

Yea his knees are totally shot apparently, didnt he fail a medical at Stoke? I heard Newcastle are willing to cash in as theyve had a good run out of him and now have Cisse doing the business up top.

For someone whose knee's are supposedly shot he hasnt done too badly in the Premier League at West Ham and then Newcastle.

failed medical before newcastle....probably injections every week into knees

No way would he be able to play a full season like that...

he said hewants to stay newcastle and there is no chance he would join us even if we did pay his minimum clause
