Didn't someone on the forum meet him in a hotel once? I remember them saying that he was really polite and smiley in person.

Glad to see Bertrand signed a 5 year contract today!

I really hope will Demba Ba will have a quick recovery. Horrible leg break.

I really hope will Demba Ba will have a quick recovery. Horrible leg break.

Having seen the video it looks like a career ender to me and especially seeing as he's the other side of 30. Man should have had a knighthood for what he did to Liverpool.

Get well demba !!

Yeah just seen the video, brutal leg break, reminds me of the Djibril Cisse one.

Hope he gets well soon.

Oof, that looks like a horrible break. All the best to him, I hope he can recover quickly and go back to banging in goals as he always has.

Get well soon Demba

That made me cringe looking at that leg break.

 

All the best to Demba, but this will be a long recovery unfortunately.

Poor Demba, hopefully his recovery goes well.

Gut wrenching for me to see what happened to Ba having experienced it only a couple of months ago.

I wish him a speedy recovery from this & hope he can come back stronger.

On a slightly happier note, Joe Cole is still every f**king where:

 

I was almost sick when I saw Ba's leg-break!

That is so unlucky for Ba, it looked like there was nothing in it. It just show's how easily these things can happen.

Also, grass confirmed as green and bear seen sh*tting in woods:

Goddamn, didn't even look like there was much force. Not what Demba deserves after saving the football world

BTW how is your recovery going?

Get well soon, Demba. Let's relive the good times:

BTW how is your recovery going?

Really well, thank you for asking.

According to the Physio I'm ahead of where they thought I would be in regard to getting the movement in my knee back,nits already the same as the uninjured leg.

I'm down to one crutch and can walk short distances unaided, back at the gym cycling and using machines to start to strengthen the keg back up, still q long way to go yet but hoping I can be back playing football closer to the 6 months than 9 months predicted!

Supa Frank is at it again

5 goals in his last 6 matches & remember folks this is a box to box midfielder - absolute Legend!!!

Sissoko caught in a tug of war between Everton and Juventus over a £35m move. 

 

Newcastle might manage to sell two midfield players that got them relegated for a combined £60m

 

How the f**k does that work? 

Dortmund have signed Schürrle.

Dortmund have done some pretty serious recruitment to offset the departures of Hummels, Mkhitaryan and Gundogan: Dembélé, Bartra, Rode, Guerreiro, Gotze, Schurrle. If they can keep hold of Reus (which I expect them to) they might put up a serious challenge next season.
