Loïc Remy

[Minhosa]

There isn't really a delay yet.

 

It's been pretty clear Ba was off for a while, we needed another option up front anyway and have done for ages and we've got three winnable games coming. Meh, what's the rush?

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I can't believe how tight everyone's standards are about doing these deals. When in the history of football have everyone's transfer targets been tied up on 9th Jan?

 

I want him here as much as anyone, I just think we need to save the panic until it's warranted.

[Guest Roger Kint]

Just asked a mate of mine who supports OM about why its taken us this long to put an offer in and said this...

 

Remy was looking at other clubs and Newcastle didn't want their offer shopped around. Now they're the top option for Remy and they decided to put in the offer...

 

He is just a random person mind, but found it interesting if it is indeed the case.

 

Sounds pretty likely tbh. Not sure i believe the 'not interested' stories simply because we will have had some contact by now and we will know if he wants to come or not.

I think you are underestimating the danger we are in and, after the shite start to the season we've had, it's hardly unreasonable to have expected the club to have had deals completed very early on. If that costs us a small premium then that's the price you pay for having under invested in the summer.

 

The next 9 points are asbolutely critical and I can't believe you're content to enter these games with Shola as our only reserve fwd.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Why do you assume I'm content or underestimating anything? I'm neither, I just don't think it's realistic to expect the deals done by now.

I agree with you far too much these days, Ian. It's a problem to me, I won't lie.

Your 'saving the panic' comment is pretty naive if you can't see what's right in front of your eyes. Did you learn nothing from the relegation campaign?

 

At what point would you panic Ian? When we've taken 3 points from the next 9 available? Or in injury time of the last game of the season when we're staring down the barrel of a gun?

I don't really know what time I would panic, certainly not on January the 9th. Obviously I would absolutely love Remy to play in the next 3 games, and a new CB as well, but I just think it's not realistic.

 

I'm not making a general point about our league status or danger of relegation, I'm talking about the belief that Remy should be signed and sealed by now.

[Dave]

Who's panicking? Apart from Skirge.

[Guest icemanblue]

Now, now, Dave. Really?

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Who's panicking? Apart from Skirge.

 

There are a load of posts raging at the club because this deal isn't done yet.

[Dave]

People are being rightfully cynical IMO.

[Guest icemanblue]

But not panicking?

Scandinavians.

[Mole_Toonfan]

I'm concerned that they will f*ck it up again, but not in panic..... YET.

We'll have to beg to differ on that then because I do think it is reasonable to have the deal done by now.

 

I don't really know why we weren't finalising terms in December to announce on Jan 1st tbqh. It's not like he's been getting a start every week and his status in the squad is untouchable. If they're prepared to listen to offers now then they would have been in December.

 

Obviously, we've been waiting for the Ba deal to go through, but I believe we've needed a quality option up front in addition to Ba & Cisse for a long while and don't agree with the approach the Owner has taken as it puts us at risk over the next few games.

 

If we win them then he'll be proven correct. If we lose them then he should have invested earlier frankly. I know which I would be doing given the form, injury situation and lack of momentum in the squad at the moment.

 

Oh, and the fact, we've just lost our top scorer.

I'm convinced you're actually a West Ham fan.

Shola is panic-inducing tbh. Unfortunately, not for the opposition.

Fair points, we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Some world-class panic stations right there.

@davidmcrossan: #om coach Baup on #remy: 'he's still here, maybe he'll still be here this summer. He's not focused on a transfer'

 

Nor was Debuchy and then 5 days later he'd arrived here. Smoke and mirrors.

Pards was saying similar things about Ba and then a day or two later he's gone. Managers bullshit in windows

[Guest icemanblue]

But not panicking?

 

Shola is panic-inducing tbh. Unfortunately, not for the opposition.

 

A fair point. I do think there's a strong element of panic in most of the cynical posts, though.

Managers, owners, chairmen, presidents etc etc they all do it, its best to take anything from people like that during the window with a huge pile of salt tbh.
