Great move for Ba if so although he'll be benched as Rafa/Torres are very close. Torres always needs to be a main man lone ranger to work.

To be fair I can't hold to much against him if he goes to Chelsea, they are a big club. As long as he doesn't go to Liverpool or QPR.
Would it really be a great move though?
Financially it'll be great for him until the end of the season but I can imagine Chelsea signing Falcao in the summer. And lets just say with all the attacking midfielders they've got they won't be going 4-4-2, so Ba will be pushed aside in the summer anyway. He should be thinking longer term, and go to a club that won't have the cash to splash on a world class player in 6 months time like Chelsea will.

Newcastle United frontman Demba Ba will reportedly discuss a transfer to Chelsea over the coming days.
The Senegalese international has long been linked with a move away from St James' Park, where he is believed to have a release clause in his contract worth in the region of £7m.
It had been claimed that both Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain were keen to meet that valuation during the upcoming transfer window.
However, European champions Chelsea have stolen a march on their rivals by making an approach to Newcastle and the 27-year-old over a move, according to Sky Sports News.
The report has also suggested that the two parties will meet in the near future in the hope that a deal can be concluded early next month.
Ba joined the Magpies in the summer of 2011 from West Ham United on a free transfer.

Breaking news announcement at half time, Ba is flying to Chelsea this evening to meet with club officials, no offers have yet been made.
No, that was Warm Pouch, just trying to find those comments myself, I was unaware of them!
Reported in various places, I thought they were common knowledge. The source is The Sun though......................
To be honest I take all reports regarding Ba with a pinch of salt as we had just as much speculation in the summer. He was reported to be in various places on deadline day
