You guaranteeing that mate? Personally I think we should have made more effort to get him before he went to WH. Can't believe we haven't tried to gazump the skunks.
Could happen to any player. He didn't cost anything so its low risk. I can't believe we are going to spend 5m on ngog, Kenwyne Jones was hounded out of the club by the boo boys for basically 6 million. I'm far from ethused from the type of player we are reportedly going after.
I'm just hoping NQ+ SB have some big names lined up that the press have no idea of. Unlikely I know. But I'm hoping.
Yip, I'm hoping sb & nq have a couple of aces up their sleeves that we haven't heard about yet. Congrats to Newcastle on signing Ba (wonder if he gets the number 9 shirt?). I'm beginning to cool off, and like syd says, let's judge at the end of august. KEEP THE FAITH!!!
Number 19, funny though because Cabaye didn't get a number at the time. Number 4(Nolan) or 7(Barton). Wonder who we are keeping the number 9 for.
Ba will wear the number 19, he requested it apparently. Good signing on a free and according to one of the journos on twitter his basic wage is low and is made up of appearance fees and goal bonuses so in that respect a sensible move by the club. With his knee he is a risk but it seems the club have structured the contract to cover their backs. Just seen that you've supposedly all but signed Sebastian Larsson? Wouldn't have minded him for Newcastle!
Didn't Shola ask for the number 9 shirt a couple of years back? Ha ha ha. Shola is ****. Ba is a very good signing.
