Toonpack 9431 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Pardew said last week it was a situation that couldn't go on, either he would sign a new contract without the clause (and I assume more money) or he would be moved on in this window or the next. Whatever on Skunkers, who is K Shepherds mate, reckons the word is we offered Ba £80K/week in our final offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Which roughly translates as £40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7295 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Whatever on Skunkers, who is K Shepherds mate, reckons the word is we offered Ba £80K/week in our final offer. If he scored at the same rate he has this year and the first half of last season it would be worth it. I'd say he'd be on one of the higher bases in the team at the moment with some very healthy incentives for goals. Would help to explain why he was visibly upset with being moved wide last season.

The Fish 10857 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 As someone on twitter says, if not Chelsea, where? He won't get games at City, won't get paid at Arsenal, Liverpool are after Sturridge and would be unlikely to meet his demands either. PSG? Anzhi?

BigWalrus 0 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 He was given shares in the company, hardly comparable to someone saying they hoped cancer spreads all over his face. Absolutely - Silkman is a nasty piece of work. I just mean that there's more to Robson than loveable old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bias 3 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I like Pardew's comments today in the media, praising the player but criticising the agents. Personally I think he plays the media well. I think it's a given Demba won't sign a new deal with us, can't see him going to QPR but more than likely abroad.

BigWalrus 0 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 QPR, nailed on. QPR is perfect for his advisers. More chance of going down, which would mean another transfer and another sign on fee in 8 months time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30620 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 If QPR were after his then I'd have expected 'Arry to have been screaming it from the rooftops by this point. Not that he likes to talk about other clubs' players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the reasons for our slump, Pardew still comes off as cool and calm and doesn't put his foot in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 The club wont have the piss taken out of them and give Ba stupid money but they would be insane if they weren't trying hard to hold on to him. 29 in 50 is a hell of a return & olnly Van Persie - playing in a superior side - has scored more than him this season.

You feel all the times we've been here before and the club have stood their ground over wages it's been ok because they were average/decent players. I just feel with Ba he is worth paying that 80k a week or whatever he wants, saying that it could be the fact his "representatives" are making things difficult and it's not about money but they want their big cut of £.

colinh9 0 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 The fact is, Ba holds all the cards now. When he signed for us- we had a lot more wiggle room to maneuver a dael that worked in our favor. Now, as he should, he's trying to get the absolute most guaranteed money he can. I'm sure there are clauses on both sides that are absurd- but honestly why would Ba take incentive based pay now after being forced to play wide in the past (and seeing Cisse in that role now) I'm always weary of folks who start throwing out the loyal card and all that nonsense. Some of these guys have 5-6 years at the prime of their career....of course they want to make the absolute most amount of money they can in that time....because face it- what are they going to do when they retire? No club is loyal to a player either, everybody looks for a way to get the absolute best deal for themselves. What does Demba Ba owe Newcastle? The same as Newcastle owes Demba- absolutely nothing. Ba has said all the right things all along, has kept his head down and has scored tons for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 That and Ba's 'people' being too many in number and too influential (as they want a slice of the £££). I think Pardew even said he felt sorry for Ba today because of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44900 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 If he's gonna sign for PSG, I'm sure they'll fly him over there themselves. I doubt it'll just happen because he was in the neighbourhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17281 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 He'll maybe just be getting the Newhaven to Dieppe ferry after we play Brighton on the 5th, its nearby after all Its looking like the people who spoke to Chelsea on his behalf may not even know him. Or some people who have no real connection with him are touting him around generally...Sky Andrew has just been on 5live saying as much. And whingeing about it. Imagine that. An agent moanng about the tricks other agents pull. Oh the fucking ironing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An agent moanng about the tricks other agents pull. Oh the fucking ironing. I wouldn't be surprised, agents make any of these potential deals a fucking nightmare - even worse when you start bringing clauses and reps into the picture. I've said it repeatedly and will continue to do so, no matter how many sources report and how many quotes people have. Until i see a player holding a clubs shirt fuck all is certain. Could even turn out that it was a warning shot to NUFC to try and drum up a little more juice in the contract "I'LL DO IT! I'LL REALLY GO!!" also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33245 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I think the club are just as happy for him to go. We didn't pay West Ham a nut for him as we were happy to take up his clause when the cockneys were relegated. Ba's entitled to play the same game again, as a club who search out these clauses to save the club paying the going rate we can hardly complain when it doesn't suit. (Well maybe we can but Mike and Dekka certainly can't.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
