Ignore the first bit...
"It's always a dream for me to play one day at PSG," Ba is quoted as saying in The Mirror. "But I'm really happy where I am in Saudi Sportswashing Machine. The English league suits me perfectly.
"I always loved PSG. I saw them beat Marseille at (Saudi Sportswashing Machine team-mate) Yohan Cabaye's place recently.
"But since I joined Saudi Sportswashing Machine, I have rediscovered the feeling I had when I was a young boy playing on the pitches at the bottom of the street."
And Ba insists he is happy to put his own goalscoring ambitions to one side in order to help Saudi Sportswashing Machine team-mate Cisse to flourish.
Cisse has scored ten goals in nine games since joining the Magpies in January and Ba is prepared to sacrifice his own goals after being moved in to a different position by manager Alan Pardew.
"I work in order to score goals, but also so Patinkle can score," said Ba. "The coach told me he would put me on the left. And for the team I thought, 'Let's do it'.
"Also, I know the qualities of Patinkle as a finisher. It does not bother me at all. As a striker you like to be in the striking position but now the coach has made a decision. He has decided for Patinkle to be there.
"I do what I have to do to balance the formation for the good of the team. If I can be in the finishing area I do everything to be there, if I cannot, we do the work for Patinkle.
"I like to be up front but lately the coach has decided to play with three strikers and I do not mind playing on the side. If I score, that's great, but if I don't score there is someone else who does."
this is the type of attitude I'd like for all of our strikers to have. I say bring him in. Noocastle will finish 6th behind Chelsea and the 7m buyout along with the prospect of playing Champs league should be enough to get him.
