He's good mates with M'Vila apparently. Rennes have just said they have better offers than QPR. Maybe M'Vila goes elsewhere and Remy then has a change of heart. No.

I understand why people are pessimistic about bringing in players - we've been hurt by these so often before. I genuinely think the situation is different this time. We've got in there early trying to wrap deals up and there seems to be an urgency. Maybe this will be another letdown but maybe the board are so scared of relegation that they'll finally do something. Their summer plan failed spectacularly and they've had a reality check.

@tSKeysandGray: Big Sam told us last night he's tried to sign Beckham 3 times. At Bolton Newc and West Ham!! From Richard Keys

Lille get their revenge by throwing the match?

It's lied about our fans booing him, cited a Downfall parody as proof we hate him and then essentially ended with the comment "he might go, he might not, we just don't know". No mate, it's solid. I wasn't being entirely serious Most sources that refer to Hitler are suspicious....

So that source is pretty crap, yeah?

The title

I don't think it has ever looked anywhere near as likely as Remy though, did it? It hasnt got as far as Remy yet but its been a solid link for a while.

Starting to get nervous about this one. If we miss out, I'll be more gutted than the Remy hijacking.

Players say all sorts of things tbh, I'm sure if St Etienne accept an offer he'll be interested. St Etienne said they'd not sell but, again, they would say that.

Why? Not saying he's bad but he's not at all what we need. Price seems steep too.

De Jong? Just.....no!

I wonder how Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Cisse etc will see tonight's events. Is our refusal to raise our wage offer a sign of lacking ambition or will they just be disappointed at Remy's stupidity?

Yeah as much as I love football and know I couldn't walk away, I wish I had another hobby or something useful to do on weekends. In too deep now, though

Well he's changed his mind once, it could easily happen again. Gut feeling says he won't, though.

That is one of the worst football stories I've heard, actually. There's no logical way they can justify that. No reason for that at all.

Where were these other options in August? Well yes, August was a fuck up. That was 5 months ago though, situations change - mainly an urgency from our end because we've somehow got to 16th.

The pessimism on here is insane, maybe I shouldnt be surprised. It's been a bad night but, by all accounts, we have other options. Let's see what they are.

No way will they go down with Remy and M'Vila, they'll force their way out of it.

#YOLO

Is that a good source? Maybe we've reached an agreement too.

Aubameyang, Iago Aspas, Ince

We can't rule out Remy changing his mind again overnight. The power of Yo-Hatem....

The thing that annoys me the most isn't missing out on Remy - who I wasn't 100% convinced about anyway. It's that we've been mugged and embarassed by Harry Redknapp.
