Read the blog mate; everything you need to know is there including what you mention above.

I have, so yeah we've offered him a deal and now the ball is in his court with Moyes refusing to negotiate further.
Hope we sign him!!!

About 2 weeks ago. This deal is deader than a dead thing thats been dead for ages.

Apparently he's reluctant to relent on his demands of £52k a week plus whatever bonus's. does make you wonder what were offering him, i bet it's only about £40k a week if that plus a scoring bonus or whatever?. If it was summat like £45k a week plus a goalscoring bonus of some sort then surely Ba would come to that comprimise and accept if he was so keen to join us as were lead to believe!.

I'd like him at the club but if he doesnt accept what we offer and show that he's come to us for footballing reasons and instead fcuks off to Newcastle cos they offered more cash than regardless of what success he as up there, we'd be better off without players like him who are only in it for a good pay day.

have to agree with this...i think he would be trouble and start looking for a move when we make our customary bad start to the season

i'd like to know what it is you can do with £52k a week that you can't with £40k..
