Analysing the Transfer Gossip – 27th July Part Two

Chelsea forward Demba Ba has insisted that he will not try to quit the Blues should Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney join the Stamford Bridge club.

Full story: The Sun

What’s the story? The issue for Ba, is that even if/when Chelsea don’t sign Rooney, he will be at best third in line for the role of lone front man, maybe even fourth.

Does it make sense? Not really football wise, but then there have been plenty of murmurs that Ba will follow the money and he won’t get more than he’s on right now unless a Russian club comes in.

Is the price right? If they were offered £10m they wouldn’t say no. Clubs like Stoke who need goals and have money should be willing to offer that.

Will it happen? 5/10 – Rooney isn’t coming to Chelsea, but that is pretty much of no consequence to Ba’s future.
