LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Probably not, but i reckon other prem teams would be prepared to offer him more than we would. Plus didn't we get get gouffran in as a result of this deal falling through? NUFC moved the deal for Gouffran (and Sissoko) forward to January. Both deals had already been arranged for Summer 2013. That certainly implies that NUFC's original plan was to get Gouffran in the Summer regardless of signing Rémy in January. Were they agreed? I thought we'd just planned to move for them in the summer. Else, why would Toulouse and Bordeaux be happy to let us take them 6 months "early"? I think we'd agreed deals with both players. The clubs took a few quid instead of getting nothing. Correct. Derek Llambias confirmed they were done deals for Summer in that big interview he did a month or two ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Newcastle and Aston Villa are both interested in meeting Loic Remy's release clause if QPR are relegated to the Championship. The French striker, 26, who has also been linked with Tottenham, has scored five goals in seven starts since arriving at Loftus Road from Marseille in January.

Ste Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think he's followed the money with his move to QPR, not entirely sure he has the right mindset which would put me off making a move for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think he's followed the money with his move to QPR, not entirely sure he has the right mindset which would put me off making a move for him. Would the fact he looks a bloody good player put you off? Of course he followed the money, would you? Who wouldn't? The relegation clause would be the issue. If it has a low transfer fee attached then I think a deal is doable. £8m fee + £60kpw v £low fee + £higher wage. The deal might not cost much more over the whole deal. Not forgetting the new SKY deal wil kick in for next season which should give most Clubs more bargaining power. If a deal could be done we shouldn't be standing on ceremony. I couldn't see Ashley not wanting it if it was doable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired of this line of logic. If I was reaching the prime years in my career. I'd choose Yahoo over Apple if they offered twice my wages. And to be honest, our direct situation wasn't entirely different from QPR's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think he'll go to Spurs. Adebayor turns up one game in five and Defoe's not all that so they need to invest in quality up top. Remy will be used to London now too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I don't think he's a player that I'd splash out on as his attitude seems to be all wrong. Our contract offer wasn't far behind QPR, and for me the writing has been on the wall for them since before January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our contract offer wasn't far behind QPR, and for me the writing has been on the wall for them since before January. I read they offered double. At the smallest, 1/3 increase which is plenty. his attitude seems fine to me. It's not like he was whoring himself out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Thats what I mean, he'll have got a big signing on fee off them and a massive pay packet, then a cheap move away where he'll probably get an even bigger signing on fee, especially if the clause is for a free transfer.

I suggested if there was a clause that let him leave cheaper the sum total of meeting his wages and transfer fee outlay might not be too far apart from the original fee/wage.

Seems to be the accepted figures of the deal we originally offered. Was my suggestion the possible lower transfer fee could allow for an enhanced wage offer. I can't see where I've suggested we'll get him cheaper in any other way tan the transfer fee MIGHT be lower. I doubt for one moment his wage demands will waver. The complete deal fee+wage might not be too far apart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would find a suggestion that we will get him cheaper, largely because i didnt say that for one second :lol I agree that the figures you used were those we offered but considering he turned them down for more at QPR then surely you get where i was coming from here?

prefabtoon Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Just looking in at the QPR forum and talk about Delusional http://www.qprdot.org/viewtopic.php?t=68064 QPR fans Discussing Loic Remy What a gem we have uncovered and what a terrible shame it will be to see him go this summer. He is our first really potent striker in years and has so much potential. Would love to enjoy celebrating his goals in years to come.
