In the last two days, Pardew has mentioned two possible strikers that could be our targets, but are they? I thought Pardew would play his cards close to his chest and this probably is a deflection that could be deceptive towards other clubs.
Mevlut Erdinc is said to be on Pardew's radar and now it seems like 25 yr old Ba has joined him. Ba previously failed a medical at Stoke and Pulis said his knees were a ticking time bomb. I'm not too aware if he failed his medicals at West Ham but they did sign him.
So is Ba really worth chasing for? However he did well at West Ham and scored 7 goals in 12 and has bags of pace and strength. Pardew had this to say about the striker.
"Demba Ba has done very well since he came to England and he's a good player," he said.
"I'm very much aware of him and I probably know what he is capable of more than most because I've known about him for a while, before he went to West Ham.
"We're not the only club who are interested, but we are trying. There is always competition and we will keep plugging away.
"If we can get him and another two in before the end of next week I'll still be looking for another two new faces to join us before the start of the season."
So...should we go in for him? Worth the risk? Please leave your comments below...
