Demba Ba In Swap For Carroll?

An intriguing twist has been added to the current transfer speculation surrounding Demba Ba and Andy Carroll.

Brendan Rodgers is reported to be interested in a more mobile striker to fit into his system and Demba Ba has been identified by him as a possibility.

How fans of the two clubs would perceive a ‘cash plus Demba Ba’ for Carroll deal is open to question, espcially if Newcastle fans put aside any resentment to the fact that Carroll chose to leave Newcastle – no matter how happy Mike Ashley was to do the £35m deal as well.

As a fan I’d love to have both Ba  AND Carroll alongside Cisse in the squad, giving Alan Pardew and Newcastle United the options and strength in depth that would go a long way to ensuring a successful season.

One massive benefit of any deal, certainly from the Anfield side of things, is that it potentially gives the American owners a better chance of saving some face, having paid way over the odds last January.

It would be a lot easier to muddy the waters as to what benefit they were getting back on Carroll, rather than a straight cash deal.

Just to gauge fan views, if it was a choice of Carroll or Demba Ba vote now in our poll.
