Mad Dog: I thought Chelsea's Ba was uselesss

Former QPR star Malcolm Allen admits he can't always pick a player.

Mad Dog was discussing Chelsea striker Demba Ba in his column for the Daily Mail.

"I recall standing on the touchline at West Ham's Chadwell Heath training ground next to Avram Grant watching a training session and one player was catching my eye. He was useless.

"Avram, who is that chap with the bright green size 15 boots on?' I asked. 'Is he a trialist?'

"'No Martin, no,' he replied. 'This player is Demba Ba. I have just signed him from Hoffenheim.'

"I nodded and smiled, and I looked at Demba's 10-to-2 gait and bright green massive feet. He looked like a duck waddling around.

"I thought what an earth has Avram done?

"The next day he banged in two against West Brom!"
