Ba Says He Is Sick Of Pardew's Long Ball Game!

Last updated : 18 December 2012 By Footy Mad - Editor

He has scored 11 times this season, but his agent will make sure his client moves on in the transfer window. There is a clause saying his agent and other advisors could pick up a staggering £5 if Ba moves in January.

So obviously it is in his agent's own personal interests are to get Ba away from Tyneside - and I don't think he is that bothered where to.

Ba gave a revealing interview to French TV station Canal+ in which he talked candidly about interest from Arsenal and admitted to concern at a lack of creativity in the team.

Demba Ba: “I’m not happy when the team does not create anything.

“Fans come to see beautiful games with beautiful actions and not long balls from the goalkeeper to the striker.”

“Journalists just do their job.

“They know Arsenal need strikers, they know a release clause is inserted in my contract, so they make speculations.

“I don’t really want to comment on that, because there hasn’t been any contact, clearly, but it is true Arsenal are a very attractive club.

“I’ll do what I have to do in Newcastle and if I have to leave I will move all my stuff out.

“For now, though, it’s not in my mind.

“Next Saturday against QPR, if we make mistakes the fans will become more demanding.

“If we play like we did against City, we should win.

“Don’t forget it was the champions we played last Saturday.”
