Strange situation with this lad he has basically sat out for 18 months of his career.
He had his flaws and was abit rash and raw but i definitely think he had potential and alot of good attributes.

Was a time a couple seasons ago he was keeping Roberts out of the team he started in the 5-0 Southampton game and if im not wrong we beat Stoke and Blackburn 3-1 in the games after and Ba started in all them. Definitely think a lower end championship team or at least a high end league one team would of took a punt on him but it’s strange he’s been happy to just sit and train on his own and pick up a wage instead of trying to progress his career
 

As we’ve progressed we’ve left more behind. If they wanted a move they would have got one you can only think some players are happy taking on a wage for not playing.

In the grand scheme of things the money involved will be a pittance compared to PL deals. So there won’t be much time to be spending on these type of scenarios I’d imagine.
 
Im guessing the club have been trying to loan him and Poveda etc out, whether its lack of interest of other clubs or the player not wanting to leave not sure where the issue is
 
Was initially surprised that the likes of Ba, Poveda, Pembele, Anderson, Blondy and co weren't playing every week for the 21s, but I guess the club know they have no future and don't want them taking a place in the 21s ahead of a genuine prospect.

At least we've moved a few on this month, hopefully we can find somewhere for Ba and Poveda. The latter will be harder to shift
 
Would have thought a midtable to lower champ side may have had an interest in the lad. I guess clubs look at him and aren't too sure what his best position actually is and that puts them off.
 
The issue with the likes of Ba, Poveda is their wages will have gone up with promotion, two promotions since Ba signed and they’ll be on decent money that the teams who would be targeting them can’t afford to pay that wage so they’ll sit still until the club either contribute or they run the contract down, depends on how much they want to risk their career sitting rotting away rather than going out to play football rather than thinking money
