3. Goal-Scoring Records & Fitness
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15upo-CDWKE Before Demba Ba signed for Chelsea, his detractors pointed at his patchy fitness record of recent years. The Senegalese hitman has failed two medicals throughout his career - one at Stuttgart and another at Stoke City. This was due to him breaking his leg in two places in 2006, as well as his tendons sustaining damage during the resulting surgery. His career was almost wrecked by this injury, but since then, Ba has been relatively injury-free. In fact, he has only missed 17 games in the last 7 years, which has helped dispel fears that he is a sick-note. In Demba Ba, Chelsea are also getting a player who has scored nearly half of Newcastle's goals this season, which is a truly remarkable goal scoring record. If Ba can continue to stay injury free and keep up his form in front of goal, Chelsea will have a fearsome forward on their books. Source(s):
