    Shouldn't have been too difficult a race considering he doesn't have any knees.

    Just spotted that myself, yeah.

    Personally I think that'll be a good signing. He showed some promise at West Ham despite their demise.

    But whats all this about the guy having a dodgy knee??! Surely we wouldnt sign a crock... would we?

    On a free it's a no brainer for me. Give hime the 2 year deal Nolan still had to run and what ever Nolan was on a week then we will be 4 mil up in clear profit.

    Nah.

    I'm sure we've learnt from our mistakes. Still, we did get that new 'Michael Owen' wing at the medical centre so it's not as if the £40 million spent was a complete waste of time and effort.

    My biggest concern is his knee, i'd hope they do a pay as you play deal akin to the one he had at West Ham.

    Don't mind paying him money so long as he's actually useful to the team.

    Exactly, Shrewd bit of business. Sell Nolan (a player who plays in a position that we have plenty of) for £4mill and a semi proven striker. Great bit of business.

    Should be a good signing, been quite a few players in the past who couldn't pass a medical but had long careers, BA has a degenerative knee condition but it didn't stop him performing well in what was a poor West Ham team last season, with the right service he should bag a fair few goals for us

    Just got to hope his wages mostly come in appearance fees.

    Yes I do want him, but I also hope we get another 2 strikers. I wonder what wage we have offered him if it true, I would have thought it would be near the top end of our 50k wage cap.

    This is brilliant (if it's true, I don't trust SSN's unnamed sources). I was the one who started the Ba rumours, never thought we'd actually sign a player I wanted. Just Geoffrey Mujangi Bia now. <ok>

    I don't think he missed any, but he failed a medical at Stoke.

    Edit: I'll sticky this, should stop us getting 100 threads saying the same thing.
