Liverpool in for Demba

Liverpool are ready to turn to in-form Newcastle star Demba Ba in their search for a striker after being warned off top target Son Heung-min.
Desperate for more firepower after an injury to Fabio Borini, Liverpool explored the possibility of prising Son - one of the Bundesliga's rising stars - away from Hamburg.

But Brendan Rodgers was told the South Korean is not for sale and has now switched his attention to Ba.
The Liverpool manager knows Ba, 27, would fit easily into his side's style of play and arrive with a proven goalscoring record in the Barclays Premier League.
Securing the Senegal forward's release from Newcastle should be straightforward, after it emerged a £7million get-out clause in his contract kicks in again in the January transfer window.

Rodgers's budget should extend to that, particularly in light of Liverpool's dire need to take the goalscoring burden off Luis Suarez. Agreeing personal terms with Ba may prove more of a challenge.
When Newcastle tried to extend their £50,000-a-week agreement with Ba, they were stunned by wage demands from the player they dismissed as unrealistic.
Meanwhile, interest from Liverpool and West Ham in 20-year-old Son has kick-started talks about a new contract with Hamburg.

 

Very annoying part!!!!! I love how the writer just presumes any Newcastle player would jump ship to Liverpool given they are ****e these days and we have as much chance of winning somethings and getting in to europe as them. I'm sure he would only go to a team in a better position.

 

Go on then... Why not the dippers grab our entire starting XI and play all of them then...

 

they do offer 80 grand a week,i think your right though on liverpool being no better off than us team wise,but an extra 30 grand a week does turn heads

 

I'd rather have the Sonny boy. Looks a cracking talent.

We were linked with a Turkish striker today as well... the journos have no idea, basically.

 

Daily Fail, like the player really do but this is nonsense. We are not so sure about the knee but as I said, like Demba, very good player.

 

So it has started already ... going to be a long time until the end of January, but which time I predict that every single one of our players (except Ranger) will be linked with every single PL team until the papers run out of player/club combinations to right fictitious stories about

 

Wouldnt wipe my arse with the daily mail, during the summer they printed 41 different transfer rumours, not a single one was correct. They print what they want the useless racist plebs

 

Non-starter. I have a feeling if Ba were to go Ashley will offer him a contract just before Jan window opens and then sell him for a lot more than £7mil.

 

If he goes to Liverpool he'll have his knee taken away straight away.
