Demba Ba

[ijjysmith]

Marcus Bent worked his socks off. So did James Vaughan. Even Kieren Agard's all about the workrate.

Sometimes you need quality as well as just passion, or as the more cynical would call it, "running around like a headless chicken".

And despite supporting Ireland, I can't believe anyone would rather have Shane Long than Demba Ba.

Long was just an example.

It's all opinions though mate. If we all thought the same this forum would be boring.

Odds are we won't sign either of them anyway and start with Hibbert up front on his own at the first game next season.

By the time we get to August everyone will be [video=youtube;xacpnRODiow]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xacpnRODiow&feature=related[/video] and stuff. It's gonna get real crazy. Hope we get him though or I'm gonna kill Bill

Or on the right side of midfield, nailed.

Hahaha definitely! Cos he's played wide for West Ham at times, you know Moyes will use him there 2, he loves a player who's versitile!.

If we do sign Ba, where does that leave us in terms of a formation?

We have no pace in the midfield and i can see us going back to hoof ball.
I think our team peaked 18months ago maybe even longer its been crying out for freshness for over a year and i think we are now aware of the fact sell to buy is our only way forward.

Will DM go 442? or 451? .. .. .. i think come the first game we will be looking something like 451, hibbert still right back (i am a hibbert fan, but squad player best) Cahill still supporting a lone striker and Osman still shipped out wide. We need big changes all over i feel and just one lump of a striker is not going to get me excited.

Patience mate its only June.

BTW are you Jay Bothroyd?

 

[LTblue]

Just got his stats up on wiki, the lads got a really impressive goalscoring record wherever he's been and he's mainly been playing for sides that are either mid-table or struggling at the bottom, I think he could be very prolific striker for us, I really hope that this glitch can be sorted out.

Would be a good signing just best sign autographs at the end of season party!!!

 

[Jay_B]

Jay_B i am looking for a club at the moment, my goal scoring record isnt great but still miles better than VA. I could do a job! Puma kings but i am not Jay Bothroyed ha.

It's quite simple mate. We have no money, so when someone who is "half decent" comes along and is affordable, we (I) want us to sign him asap. Even half decent strikers in the prem these days cost a lot of dosh. Look at what Villa had to pay to get Bent, who is more than half decent, but nevertheless it's an exorbitant amount.

I have to think the people calling Demba Ba crap either haven't actually seen him play, are trying not to get their hopes up in case we don't sign him or are just trolling. Because he's actually pretty darn good from what I've seen.

What the crocidile hat does that even mean?

 

[trigger the blue]

Laughing here. Love the way everyone is going livid over a player that's just half decent and nothing more.

It's June ffs.

I remember getting excited when i thought we were gonna sign robbie savage! Pure desperation mate!

Me neither, im not keen on Long at all, he might do it at championship level but the prem is a different level all together!. For me, Long reminds me a lot of Kevin Doyle, all hard work and running and can be prolific in the championship but will struggle in the prem. Doyle is another weve been linked to and i wouldnt want him at Goodison either.

I'll be honest Aidey i'd go for Long,in my opinion i think he would be better value and honestly think he'd get goals for us mate!

Trolling

Ah I see. Fun for cowards!

waiting for everton to close any deal these days is a brain freeze, I know that the agent/player want there cut and so it must be a pain in the backside to deliver a deal for the fans.

I have a question, dollar will always be the kingpin but do we have the right person pitching on behalf of everton to close the deal.? It takes a special sort of person to close a deal when your skint? no
