    I think he will be great for us and to get him free on an incentive based contract is ace

    If he avoids major injury he will score loads next season, now we just need one or 2 more strikers.

    We really need to try and shift a few of the existing strikers though, who would take them thats the question.

    If Best is reportedly on his way out, £7m+Best for N'Zogbia would seem a fair deal all round.

    This, as long as we also shift out Lovenkrands/Ameobi or even both if possible.

    Get Sturridge & Erdinc in with that money! <ok>

    Airey and young Ameobi as back-up youngsters or even Ranger(unlikely).

    Ba is actually 12,500 years old and was put on the planet by aliens, I don't care if there's scientific proof otherwise <ok>

    Apparently Ba is on a 3 year contract worth £4m.

    We apparently want £4m for Best.

    Im sure theres no link there in MA's mind...

    Frustrating. I want Best to stay.

    Lovenkrands to Rangers, Bougherra has said he wants out and he'd be a solid replacement should Colo leave, a swap deal plus a token cash gesture?

    Shola to West Ham. He'd bang them in at that level (as he has already proven) and West Ham are one of the few clubs down there who'd be able to afford his wages comfortably.

    Isn't Ranger supposed to be on his way to Millwall?

    That would put Ba on only £26k~ per week. Doubt it

    lol i could understand the bitter banter if you actually had a point, there is no scientific proof the pyramids are 6,000 years old, yawn.

    This topic is to discuss demba ba, the striker dilemma and the discussion of future transfers, if you want to be a cynical douche then send me a private message dont pollute the topic with your negativity.

    I heard it was a performance-based contract because of his fitness? A base £26kpw with bonuses for appearances and goals would make it about right.

    I read in the papers a few days ago he was looking for £4m a year. Dunno though

    That's what I thought when I read the article. Having said that, we got him on a free transfer and I reckon he may well be on £50k/week (wage cap) plus bonuses etc. amounting to around £4m per year.

    I reckon best will be on **** all* though, since we signed him whilst we were in the championship
    *in comparison to PL players

    Thats why it wouldnt make much sense to sell him. Our supposed new approach is young cheap players who can improve. Best is young and will be on low wages and after last season there is hope for him being a capable PL striker. Why would we sell that?
