I dunno, it seems it would be in our best interests PR wise to have made that known, given we'd made such a horrible loss on him and then seemed prepared to let him go on loan, leaving us with one forward.
Pretty sure I read that in one of the broadsheets? The permi deal was announced by the son of one of those WHU owners, around 3 weeks before the window closed on twatter, later confirmed by a few journos. The deal was agreed between the clubs but fell apart when the slight detail of player agreement was required! When the last minute deal was agreed a number of jurnos were taking the piss over the fact we got a lower loan fee, no guarantee of permi deal and fact we had one less striker at the club.I dunno, it seems it would be in our best interests PR wise to have made that known, given we'd made such a horrible loss on him and then seemed prepared to let him go on loan, leaving us with one forward.
Brother in law (geordie) has just text me saying Ba's failed his medical, probably wishful bullshit, anyone heard anything?
Breaking news!
Demba Ba has completed his 7 mill move from Newcastle Utd to Chelsea, after his wife agrees personal terms with John Terry
Fuck Swansea. We should be in for him.I hope Swansea sign him
LOLI just want to hear a load of Welshmen sing his name.
This is good news for your torres betConfirmed - gone to Chelsea
I would just like to point out that Pardew has been DESPERATE to sell Ba for about 15 months and I have no idea why.
For Ba or Torres?Lets hope that dodgy knee returns.

I know at the end of the day he's our player but it pleases me greatly that Andy Carroll has done next to nothing for West Ham. It would have driven me insane listening to people go on about how we could've done with him and we need him as plan B if we don't have a great game.
Well done SCM for resisting the urge to suggest recalling the ponytailed donkey, even in our darkest moments.
I'm fucking devastated by the fact that their wasn't chatter about How we should be demanding Carroll back in January.
I had a pun all ready to go about "Hating Christmas Carrolls" - I was certain I'd get double figures in likes and potential nomination for wittiest post of the year.
Heartbreaking stuff.
I would actually laugh a lot if Chelsea beat The Scum to the title....on goal difference, and it was Ba's goals that made the difference.
Just the thought of Fergie fanny cheeks roasting in fury is delightful.
