Newcastle United's 11 Top Premier League Goal Scorers

=8. Demba Ba - 29

In truth, Demba Ba signed for Newcastle against a tide of disappointment that the club had outright refused to spend a significant chunk of the £35m brought in by the sale of Andy Carroll the January previously. As a free signing from relegated West Ham, he hardly looked like the answer, despite flashes of brilliance for the Londoners. But then, despite a slow start, Ba couldn't stop scoring, hitting 15 goals in a phenomenal first half season before the African Cup Of Nations got in the way. His ultimate move away from the club left some bitterness, but in the short spell he spent at the club he proved exactly why Stoke were ridiculous to pass up the opportunity to sign him. Best Goal: The turn and volley against Man Utd before he went off to the African Nations was something truly special. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdfCYI6CPJ0
