Why do we have to 'ready offers'? Why can't we just make one? Not tomorrow, or the day after - just do it now.

 

Yeah I don't get this, surely you just phone them up, say "parlay vois anglais", then shout "Remy 4 million pounds" and wait for an answer

 

Simple really, doesn't take that much getting ready

I picture it as much more of a process. Mike and Derek dive into Mike's money-pool, then start filling up bags of money. To make things as cost effective as possible, Lee Charnley then swings by with the team bus. The three of them load the bus before Lee takes off for France. He then reports back whether the offer was sufficient when he's arrived in Marseille. Knowing what our intial bid's usually looks like, Lee will be doing quite a bit of driving this month.

Can totally just imagine Dekka hollaring down the phone in the usual British way when we converse with foreigners :lol:

My concern is that all the time we are wasting putting in an acceptable offer  for Remy means we will be up the creek without a paddle if he then fails his medical, leaving us with only about two weeks to move on to our next target and to begin the long drawn out transfer process again.

 

If we cannot then agree a transfer fee for our back up target we will end up with no one as usual, or we will not then have enough time to sign the CB that we desperately need in order to preserve our EPL status this season.

It takes time to warm up the printer and train the Carrier Pigeon.

Save a weeks wages or 2, probably knock a couple of hundred '000 off the price. Guess who wins again.

Scott Wilson reckons both QPR and ourselves have a broad agreement of the fee. Obviously the player didn't fancy QPR so it's about convincing him to come here ahead of anywhere else.

Good post from Ikon there. To have that raw injection of pace and movement into the side will open up space for others like Marveaux and HBA and vice versa.

 

It is what we have always needed.

 

As good as Ba was, he was more of an opportunist relying on his strength to get an opening.  He never really stretched the other teams defence.

 

In fairness to Pardew, I do think he was after a player to do just that when we were linked to Erdinc. We ended up with Cisse, and it just didn't work with him and Ba as a partnership. Remy would be the perfect foil imo. Ok he may not have scored many recently, but his pace must still be there to benefit Cisse as the main striker.

R.E what scott wilson said. That was my reading of the situation, we must have agreed something a while ago because we have been talking to him for the best part of a month.

 

Hopefully things will have gone one way or the other come the weekend.

From skysports' "10 to Avoid":

 

 

Loic Remy:

Considering Remy's form for Marseille this season, both QPR and Newcastle would be taking a huge gamble if they splurged a reported £11million on the striker. The France international has scored just three times in 19 appearances this term and his record of 12 strikes in 29 Ligue 1 games last year does little to justify his price tag. That Remy was also diagnosed with a heart problem during his Marseille medical in 2010 may also be a consideration, but more pressing is the lack of evidence to suggest the forward could spark an immediate revival for either of the Premier League strugglers.

 

Whats the heartproblem? Anything serious?

Apparently its no obstacle to his footballing career with heart specialists saying there is no reason why he can't practice sport at a high level. Sky sports 10 to avoid probably would have included Ben Arfa once upon a time.

 

Should have included Ben Arfa on that list this year! (i'd be suicidal if he was sold)

It's not right anyway, he's made 23 appearances (13 as sub) this season. 14 (12 as sub) in the league. If we do get him I think it'll be important for people not expect him to turn into a world beater straight away. Cisse was coming off 1.5 seasons of regular goal scoring form, Remy is coming off a misfiring season with little minutes under his belt plus having to adapt to the league.

Yep. Considering the situation we are in though you know that isn't going to happen.

Wow ... that Sky Sports piece is ridiculous!

 

The guy plays as a wide forward in a 4-3-3 a hell of a lot of the time for starters, which is where we're likely to use him too, and so his goalscoring record from previous seasons is pretty impressive imo. Him not scoring much this issue is due to his return from an injury, so you can't exactly hold that against him either, especially as he hasn't been starting much. As long as he's fit now and ready to play it shouldn't be an issue.

 

Besides you can't just look at his goalscoring record alone, you have to take into account his attributes too. The guy's dribbling and speed is going to lead to a lot of problems for defences, which should open up more scoring opportunities for the team in general. Bellamy wasn't scoring 20 goals a season, but he was a very valuable and dangerous player for example.

 

Now this heart issue. Did they even do any research into this? Wasn't this cleared as far back as a couple of season's ago.

 

Yikes!

His goalscoring record from previous 3 seasons was 45 in 80 games and that was playing out wide a lot... do your research Sky ffs :lol:

 

All he really has to do is use his pace and movement to provide space for the likes of Cisse and that will keep us up.

 

Anything more is a bonus but he doesn't really have to come and score a goal a game like Cisse did.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if at OM when he does play that his movement and pace provide chances for those around him even if he isn't scoring.

 

A lot of fans will be expecting Ba because he's replacing him in the squad but honestly i see Cisse as Ba's replacement and Remy will add something different to our front line and make it function better and be a goal threat also.

 

I honestly don't expect goals until next season, what i'm expecting is pace and movement to provide space for those around him and i expect that to be enough to get us out of the mess we are in.
