Whether it's known or not is irrelevant, as refreshing their memory in the way Pardew does nothing to help the situation, unless the aim is to get rid of the player.

The fans already prepare for the worst every window, there's no need to let us know about it as it'll just get people worrying even more. It's unprofessional because it's releasing private details about someone's contract. That sort of thing is generally not done. By advertising the clause he's...

It may have remained secret, it may not. Either way it's better to wait and see rather than start blabbing about it in September like Pardew did. There was absolutely no reason to do that and it was completely unprofessional on Pardew's part, and certainly can't have helped his relationship with Ba.

Any shots I've taken at people are ones they've entirely deserved. Usually I also like you, I just think you were being ridiculous over what Ranger said.

I assume your lack of any real response is your admittance of the fact that you did ridiculously overreact to what Ranger said.

Pardew revealed that the clause is still around now, months after most people though it was gone. I made that clear in my post. The difference is that those players are happy in the roles they're playing. If they weren't then they'd kick up a fuss in the same way that Ba has. It doesn't mean...

It is Pardew's fault as he's the manager and he's supposed to keep his players under control. He's failed to do that. If the situation genuinely was Ba saying he wants to be up front or he'll leave then the right thing to do would've been to shift the player out in the summer and bring someone...

The blame for all those things lies on Pardew really. He's the one who released the fact that the release clause was still there after the summer, and he's the one who backed down to Ba over his position. That being said, I do think you're underestimating his importance to the team though. He's...

If you're genuinely that insulted by the word 'pillock' then frankly you need to grow up. And no, it doesn't show a 'lack of class'. Some people deserve to be insulted, and for your comment you were one of them. You're just reading way too much into a few words that Ranger said and trying to...

It doesn't say anything you overreactive pillock. <doh>

Hopefully that's the truth and he won't go back to his old ways.

That 'huff' was basically a couple of very minor comments that people overexaggerated. As for Cisse not getting service, that's true. Neither does Ba, yet he's managed to score far more goals than Cisse has. The fact is that Ba currently is the best striker we've got, and this idea that he...

Some of you seem to be under the impression that shifting Ba left will get Cisse scoring again - Why? He's short on confidence at the moment and shifting a far more reliable scorer out wide isn't necessarily going to help that. It's something he has to work on, but you can't nullify other...

Yeah, if you look past Ba's goals. Look past the goals of our top scorer and the guy who's a gained us a lot of the (small amount) of points we have. Sell him to hopefully get another guy scoring, a guy who's fluffed a ton of chances this season, including a penalty (I'm sure that was Ba's fault...

That is one of the dumbest articles I've ever read.
