These Newcastle United fans have been reminiscing over Demba Ba after the club tweeted out a flashback victory.
The Newcastle United article tweeted out stated: “United’s summer signing, Demba Ba, netted his fourth goal in two games” when playing against Wolves.
Demba Ba played 58 matches for Newcastle United, scoring 29 goals and managing to get seven assists during his time at St. James’ Park.
Here is what the Newcastle United fans had to say about Demba Ba and the throwback tweet:
? @dembabafoot was on target for #NUFC as the Magpies defeated @Wolves at Molineux back in 2011.

Imagine if we had a prime Demba Ba right now…

@dembabafoot come home sweet prince

The replies are very mixed, but it is clear to see that these fans want a striker they can trust. With Joelinton scoring once in 21 Premier League appearances.
I remember when we had a goalscorer

A few years later they were playing in league 1 against teams like Leyton Orient and now look at them compared to us

Would you take Demba Ba back now?
Yes
No
What Do We Think?
Considering Demba Ba is now 34 years old, we are not certain that he will be much use to many Premier League side right now. Especially as Ba has only scored four goals in 12 Turkish Super Lig matches.
Clearly the fans want a goalscoring striker, but maybe they’ll just have to wait and see if Joelinton can come good.
