Demitri_C Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 In todays Daily Star http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/325984/Aston-Villa-eye-up-Chelsea-ace-Demba-Ba-as-replacement-for-Christian-Benteke/ yes Please! For 7m be a bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Would easily replace Benteke, and would be able to go straight into the team without any need to settle in. My only concern is his injury record, but we have options for once. He must be on a fair whack though, so I can't see this happening, unless Chelsea subsidise some of his wages.

ciggiesnbeer Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 No thanks. Too old and not the kind of all rounder forward Lambert prefers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2013 No thanks. Massive wages, suspect knee, too old and I'd really doubt his commitment or desire to play for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Half the player Benteke is, past his prime, gammy knee, high wages, not a goer! Unless its on loan with Chelsea paying half his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_c Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 That article is pretty bad, says Chelsea may turn to Napoli for Cavani. Thought he already signed for PSG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Must be on around 100k a week - think the only striker at Chelsea I'd take is lukaku but i can't see it happening . £25m brings mourinho to the party - better option than spurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_eristic Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Suspect knee, you say? Or does that only count for defenders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Doesn't really fit the transfer policy we have now but if he was Bent's replacement i'd say yes. Benteke's replacement i'd say no in the hope that Lambert can pull another Benteke out of the hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I think bony would have been a great replacement - pity Swansea have nabbed him- lambert i expect will have irons in the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) No thanks. Got to be on big wages. Edited July 12, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandaq Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 What age is Ba? Late twenties? yep. Don`t really see why he would play for us or why we would go in for him. I do think he has his moments but not sure this would be ideal. And I doubt Lambert looks at it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
