The Magpies should continue discussions with QPR for the loan of the French international striker Loic Remy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Lyon deserve it for being pricks here. Still annoyed though. Heh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Reckon I'll wait to see if this is anything other than Ryder tweeting a random mention in the French media. We'll get him. My only worry is it may be in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Quite a strange one either way, it seems like we've offered them a fair price and they're just being dicks. Might work out if they don't get anyone who will stump up £10m now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 We'll be back. So will Lyon now they realise they aren't going to be able to keep ratcheting up the price. I still think this will go through this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 We'll be back. Preferably in the current transfer window. Shola's been scoring... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 So the player will probably go on strike & they'll have to pay wages for him until jan and we'll come back with an offer of 4m. I think Aulas is being a bit tough with this hardball lark & could come back to bite him in the ass. They need the cash from this deal to buy another striker in this window aswell! "guess who wins again pic on standby" Thought this too but forgot that this is a WC year. Aulas could still have a card up his sleeve playing hardball, robbing any chance of Gomis getting into the squad. Things will get desperate if we fail to land Remy and Aulas probably knows that too.

Dave Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hopefully we can agree a compromise on the fee, but might go right to the end of August. He wouldn't be the first striker we've failed to agree on and then simply forgotten about though. My concern is that we just miss out altogether.

nufc4eva Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 We'll be back. Preferably in the current transfer window. Shola's been scoring... You just know we have no other alternatives other than Bent, can't believe we still have nobody signed. It is going to be one long season with Cisse and Shola as only strikers oh and no out and out wingers / wide forwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Desperate for a striker and we pull out of negotiations. Why do we always have to take this hard line approach (although I do think we have offered a reasonable amount all things considered). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to be one long season with Cisse and Shola as only strikers oh and no out and out wingers / wide forwards. If we want Gomis, then it makes no sense to sign Bent as they are two completely different strikers. It might be we just try and push through the Remy deal and that would probably be that. I'm not even sure we'll go back in January if Remy and Cisse are scoring goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 To be fair, €8m is more than enough for someone who has been publically frozen out, in the last year of his contract and wants to leave. I have absolutely no problem with us not paying any more than what we've offered. We're desperate for another striker though, so can see why people are frustrated.

KaKa Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Same thing every summer. Especially when we're after a striker. Cisse, De Jong, Erding and Maiga. Just can't seem to get these over the line in time, and end up having to resolve in January. Only striker we go tin January was Ba and he was on a free. My expectation is that we likely won't get a striker this summer now. Gouffran and Cisse will be the starting two, and when one inevitably gets injured we'll be seeing our good friend Shola Ameobi playing the majority of games yet again. Oh happy days. Joy unbridled.

LRD Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Pardew must be well-chuffed that after a lull of 2 days, he meets Kinnear and is greeted with great news regarding his transfer target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 This fucking club, I get we won't be held to ransom but surely they are not asking over the top. We have again allowed ourselves to be in a shit situation where we are desperate for a striker and everyone know it.. beggers can't be choosers!

nufc4eva Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 If we could just go out and spend 20-30 million on quality up front it would pay itself back, instead we just piss about for ages and everyone knew what the outcome would be a month ago, we never finalise deals, albeit maybe we should be stepping back on this one.

Gallowgate Toon Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 This is the right stance if true, they've rejected a very decent offer and are simply trying to take us for a ride because they want as much as possible with their situation. I don't think anyone else will match our price between now and the end of the window and they'll come back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone else will match our price between now and the end of the window and they'll come back. In the meantime, we#ll play th eopening 3/4 fixtures of the season with Shola Ameobi netting 0 goals and 2 injuries, giving a 6-12 point headstart to other teams. If anyone's surprised they only have themselves to blame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
