Demba Ba

ciderman9000000 · 16th May 2011, 16:15

Now that West Ham are relegated, do you think a bigger team might go in for Demba Ba? He's looked a very good player whenever I've seen him for WH. A powerful, hardworking target-man with an eye for goal, I can think of a few teams who could use a player of his mould: perhaps optimistic of me, but maybe Spurs could take a gamble? He wouldn't cost a lot. Not seen enough of him myself to say really, what do you lot think?

This has ended up as a sweepstake. Add your name and prediction to the bottom of the thread and if nobody's already bagged the same team you'll go on the list below.

ciderman9000000 - Bolton
The Black Pearl - QPR
Bergen - Newcastle
Sean_RedDevil - Everton
Mick1991 - Aston Villa
Devil may care - Sunderland
humdinger - Spurs
December_16 - Fulham
Snow - Blackburn
jgraham - Stoke
SharkyMcShark - Galatasaray
Elliott - West Brom

Weren't Arsenal rumored to be in for him prior to signing with West Ham?

He'll definitely be pursued by a few clubs.

I was going to suggest Arsenal alongside Spurs in the OP, but deleted them as I really can't see him as a Wenger signing. He'd be handy alongside RVP imo though: he's better than Bendtner.

Jaap · 16th May 2011, 16:22

No thanks.

He forced his way out of Hoffenheim to get his transfer to Stoke - you might remember - before failing a medical there. He avoided training at Hoffenheim to get his will, his transfer and was said to be a right dick during the saga.

Why would we want him anyway?

He didn't suggest we would.

I would suggest reading the OP before posting next time

MacMUFC · 16th May 2011, 16:25

Would be perfect for Everton.

Nah I'd never heard of him before he came to West Ham. I doubt that would put anyone off though if they were really interested in him as a player; he's always seemed undickly enough when I've seen him this season. I didn't mention United btw.

Jaap · 16th May 2011, 16:32

Ah, my mistake - misread the OP, thought you posted that we should go after him.

Sorry, cider!

Neutral · 16th May 2011, 16:39

Failed multiple medicals

-Stuttgart
-Stoke

hell even West Ham, took him on despite him failing the medical there....that's how desperate they were for a striker.

His knees are gone(despite his major injury being a fractured fibula and tibia 4 years ago). He is a major risk for anyone who wants to give him a long term contract, he hasn't missed much football, but he is one bad tackle away from being done and dusted at 25.

Shame really...looks like someone who could contribute at a midtable team.

SharkyMcShark · 16th May 2011, 16:47

Can see Spurs going for him

MrMarcello · 16th May 2011, 16:49

Technically BTV, anyone is one bad tackle away from forced retirement.

R_Kelly · 16th May 2011, 16:54

Barcodes to replace Carroll?

You know what I mean...his pre existing condition makes him a greater risk.

datura · 16th May 2011, 18:31

Pretty much a whole thread about Ba speculation a few topics down

FM legend Demba Ba having medical at Stoke.

Havak · 16th May 2011, 18:44

Newcastle? Sunderland? West Brom?

Wouldn't be surprised to see quite a few teams in for him still.

Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber · 16th May 2011, 20:18

Newcastle should really sign him. He is just the type they need.

ciderman9000000 · 16th May 2011, 20:44

Bolton would also be a good shout. They'll never be able to afford a successful bid for Daniel Sturridge, Kevin Davies is no spring chicken and Elmander has been anything but consistent for them.

True. But they like Blackburn have their eyes on Papi Demba Cisse.

Neutral · 17th May 2011, 09:51

Supposedly at the center of the chaos that descended on the West Ham end of season meet and greet with the fans.

Tables and chairs thrown between players and fans.

Bollocks! Since when have WEst Ham's players been up for a battle?

londonredmaniac · 17th May 2011, 13:16

Someone needs to tell him from to stop shooting from 40 yards...

londonredmaniac · 17th May 2011, 13:16

If Welbeck is coming back here.

ciderman9000000 · 17th May 2011, 13:37

West Ham report Sunderland to the Premier League after an apparent illegal approach for Ba by Sunderland.

RedThaiDevils#7 · 25th May 2011, 17:20

redthaidevil#7 - Sunderland... Would be a great replacement for Bent and wouldnt' cost as much.
