What a season.

Them.

It's borrowed money. They'll be fucked in 5 years time without a doubt. Unfortunately, that means nothing in the short-term. Irritating that a club with a half the revenue stream can convincingly outbid us for a player.

Lets be honest, he can't play in our Europa campaign and we're only a couple of wins ahead of them with an uninspiring manager at the helm. If they offer him an extra 20 or even 30k a week and a similar relegation clause, it's not such a surprise. Worst case scenario for Remy is if he does well and they still get relegated he hops onto another English club ala Ba.

You simply can't trust our negotation on anything like this. They're stubborn enough to simply pull the plug there and then out of spite if QPR offer a bigger deal.

Fee also agreed with one unnamed club on top of us and QPR.

"Pour Rémy il n'y a pas que Newcastle, nous on est aussi d'accord avec QPR et un autre club c'est à Rémy de décider" From Anigo at OM. Agreements with both clubs, his decision. Can't see anything other than QPR personally considering the kinds of money they have offered players recently.

It's not just Barton though, several of the NE journos have mentioned they're trying to hijack the deal.

Pathetic as ever.

Joseph Barton ‏@Joey7Barton Gift of the gab from Harry Redknapp perhaps? Thought it was done and dusted to Newcastle. Something must of gone amiss. Great news 4 #QPR quite abysmal from us as ever if true.

Joseph Barton ‏@Joey7Barton Watching Patriots. Just heard from a magician that Loic Remy has signed for QPR. Not sure what happened at Newcastle probably Llambas again!

Robinson, Chimbonda, Lee, Dawson, Davenport (Ghaly 88), Lennon, Huddlestone, Tainio (Zokora 79), Malbranque (Keane 75), Defoe, Berbatov. Finished 5th that year. Jol did a great job with Spurs. I remember that win being massively smash and grab.

An abysmal side, when you consider the stage of their careers that Dyer, Solano, Taylor etc were at. Astonishing that was 6 years ago.

We have a FIFA13 thread in the Games section.

wish they'd fuck off and become Portsmouth mark II already.

The club like to get all the video interviews done and stuff before they announce it. When we make a signing they like to make a big deal out of so we're thankful to the Dear Leader and don't get too demanding/expectant.

legally? or did you pop in to smell his underwear when they were out while it was still being built

I know you are but what am I?

Debuchy and Yo in the same house. I've been in that house

Diven't shoot the messenger lads, just saying. Agree it could easily be those things.

So Remy rang Cabaye last night, hopefully Cabfly went to town on selling the club/city again. That couple with Barton's input surely would make an impact.

Same guy is saying he's usually there watching the bairns but the coaches all making an effort to go and see him/shake hands is unusual. It could be anything, but he's not bullshitting so its worth posting.

Is he better than Jores Okore?

The latter. Probably just from that quoteless article in the Evening Standard then.
