Demba Ba

[zanela]

I'm confused. What has first touch to do with size? The likes of Ibrahimovic and Berbatov have very good first touches. So did Zidane. And Bergkamp was the master of it.

Obviously there are some technically skilled tall players. Even then Zlatan's first touch was hit n miss at Barca. Most big sized targetmen have an inconsistent first touch, that relies a lot on confidence and form. They take a while to get going. It's what i've noticed but i could well be wrong.

Zlatan's first touch was bad only at Barca... I think it has definitely got to with confidence as you say. He has/had consistently pretty good first touch else where

I knew this guy was a good goalscorer but I've been completely taken back by him this season. He seems a brilliant allround player.

Will he keep it up?

Will he keep it up?

Based on his performances so far this season and last season for West Ham, YES!

He's been unbelievable. His all round game is quite fantastic.

I am not saying he won't.

We shall see though.

As long as Chelsea don't buy him for 50 million he'll be fine

I see what you did there, but trust me - he'll be fine even if it happens. The guy is a machine, a cyborg, a weapon of mass destruction. Not a straight pussy like the Ladyboy.

Hard to believe that these posts are about the same Demba Ba i witnessed in the BUndesliga for 2.5 yrs.

Mine too!

I replaced him with Leon Best though, I'm sure he'll do a job like he did after Carroll left though.
