2. Demba Ba
As a lifelong Newcastle fan, Im still reeling from Dembas departure, and especially for, with respect to his talent, a below value sum of money. It begs the question, seriously, who wrote that clause in his contract, and what was he under the influence of at the time? To let arguably your best player and top scorer go for as little as
£7 million is criminal, and once again, left Alan Pardew short of options up front. The strawberry syrup-loving front man was impressive in his 1 and a half seasons with the Magpies, scoring 29 goals in 58 performances, and being an integral part of the side that finished 5th in 2012, securing the first taste of European football on Tyneside since their promotion in 2012. Despite Newcastles poor form this season, he still managed to bag 13 goals in 20 league appearances, leaving fans wondering who will provide the goal-scoring prowess now the Senegalese target man has moved on.
