Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has criticised the representatives of his striker Demba Ba , with the forward's future at the club in doubt.
The 27-year-old has a £7 million release clause in his contract, and with a host of clubs said to be interested in securing his services, Pardew says he wants the forward's future resolved as quickly as possible.
"In some respects, I feel a little bit sorry for Demba as well," Pardew told reporters. "Because I think people who are representing him are not actually representing him.
