I know it's too early to get ahead of ourselves, but do you think he could eventually become the new Drogba for us? I have not really seen much of him to be honest. Is he a physically strong guy like Drogba was? 

 
Our new Drogba in what way?

What made Drogba so special was how consistently he rose to the big occasions, Ba hasn't really had a big occasion to rise to in his career yet (or at least not compared to a cup final). Only time will tell if Ba can be the hero that Drogba was.

 
We have three topics on Ba and like eight or nine on Lampard - and most are about the exact same subject. People should really check for an existing topic before deciding to create a new one.

If we even get 1/8th of what Drog was, out of Ba, we have a very good player at our club!

 
They both have names ending in ba.

They are both Black.

They both come from the same continent via France.

They are both strikers.

That's where the similarity ends.

 
AKE is a good player Coco! 

saw him play in Drogheda over the summer in a Chelsea friendly. Best player on the pitch by miles.

Looks like a calm and assured centre back. One for the future

Cut the thread-starter some slack, he's a newbie and hasn't a clue about 'threads' and the like i bet.

And in answer to his question...

No

 
A big and strong black striker joins the club... he immediately becomes the next Drogba...

 
I just hope he's not the new Torres. Anyway, we've already signed the new Drog (and loaned him out).

 
He would need to make an impact in Wembley before any such comparisons are drawn. 

Drogba was never a stop gap striker - he was here and provided far more than just goals in his first two seasons and he had players like Crespo/ Anelka/ Sheva/ Torres to content with all those he out performed and became the main man at the club. Also his leadership qualities in big matches and capability to raise his games when needed are things that made him stand out and become a legend at the club.

Best of Luck to Ba trying to emulate what Drogba managed to achieve at the club but such comparisons at this time are just disrespectful. 

 
Never, for one he will not be given the opportunity to start on a regular basis and lead the line

he is a stop gap signing, a punt by the owner as back up to FT just in case

if FT continues to stiff through May a 'marquee' striker will be signed in the summer

the board's stupid srategy is so transparent

 
No. IMO Drogba was the best all round forward since George Weah in his prime. It will be a decade or two before we get another centre-forward of Drogba's quality.

If we're lucky.
