    ...Demba Ba? He's going to the ACON this month so if we were to buy him, it would be in the summer window.

    Been saying this for ages. Simply incredible player - but injury prone. Van Persie 2, if you will :)

    Well he hasn't had an injury this season, just like van Persie.

    Some Arsenal fans on this forum think he isn't even good enough for our bench. Beyond deluded.

    Hope you guys are joking about Jones. Horrible mistake but still an incredible prospect.

    Made his debut as a CB and bossed Didier Drogba. Also had a great under 21 championship from center back. Problem is, he plays in so many other positions that he can't develop as a CB yet. Clearly needs a run of games at CB.

    hes english.....and when there isnt much english talent coming through that is genuinly world class potential..then the rubbish at the bottom of the barrel gets lauded...ala jones...hes ok but not as good as the english media hype him up...fast track bully in the making.

    To be fair to him Jaywam, it's one of his first bad mistakes of the season. He will be a good player and already is showing signs of it.

    As if he changed that much in 2 weeks just because he changed kits. He is a decent player but has a long long way to go if he is going to live up to the hype. Rio was top class. Absolutly world class for many years. If jones hits rio's level I would be surprise

    i read that Ba has a dodgy knee that could go anytime,and that's why he wasn't signed by the big clubs, would you take the chance?

    Look Arsenal Liverppol and Man Utd all bid 17.5mn for the kid there must be something there - he is no where close to being a complete player and everyone knew he would be hyped to sh!t just like wilshere gibbs rooney the entire england Golden generation will always be by the media. While that doesn't necessarily make him the best defender alive it doesn't make him rubbish. He has the attributes to be world class (he is only 19 FFS) I bet neither Ferguson or Jones thought he would play as much as he has also at RB CB DM and CM.

    This is what really annoys me about fans they will defend there player against most outside criticism (fair or not) yet attack other players with the same critiques.
