Guest Phil K Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Fair enough, it just seems weird to conclude that Pardew is the reason this deal failed. Not perhaps the reason, just not a positive attraction. You have to SELL the club better to potential players. I find it hard to believe QPR offered such a ridiculous deal. Then again, with Redknapp's devious financial skullduggery with other people money...... From Eurosport: Loic Remy is still deciding between QPR and Newcastle, according to Marseille. The London club are rumoured to have offered £70,000-a-week making them strong favourites to land the Frenchman. See ? Already £30,000 less than the quoted QPR deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not the first time QPR have offered too much money to players, Redknapp even said himself that a lot of his players were overpaid. I don't buy for one second that he has picked QPR for footballing reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfrederi Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 What Fernandes has realised is that it's possible to buy success if you just risk enough money. The problem is that they've bought the wrong players so far. If they stay up they will get it right eventually, money talks. Thing is there are only 4 Champions League places up for grabs and Man Utd, Chelsea and Man City have pretty much got 3 of them on a permanant basis with Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, Everton for starters competing for last berth. With our team we should really be competing also if we manage to add to the squad. Really seems a big risk to keep throwing money at it especially when the strategy does'nt seem to working in the first place. An awful lot of money to literally throw away to gain survival then push on in the hope of catching them when would you stop throwing more money at it? Villa and Lerner tried but couldnt quite manage it and its not looking too good for them and to be honest a far bigger club than QPR. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of the player refuted suggestions that Remy had chosen QPR instead of Newcastle because the London club offered a superior salary. He said: 'Loic's choice of QPR was based on Harry Redknapp technical attraction. Salary was not the player focus. Maybe this is the reason Newcastle are trying to claim because they have lost a primary target.' I don't get this Sulia thing like, but this is from Duncan Castles, a sports journo for the Sunday Times and others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Aye, he didn't even want to meet Redknapp as of a week ago and they're trying to claim it's not financial Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Fucking bollocks. I knew this line would be trotted out. "It wasn't the money it was harry redknapps genius". A few days ago he wouldn't even talk to Redknapp then once they knew what we were offering and shoved a fat contract under his nose he went there instead.

Disco Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Think it's a mixture of things personally: London + wages + playing for a manager who has tried to buy him before & alongside someone like M'Bia who he'll know from OM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If it's not financial then why are they offering him £70-80k in anyway? Surely a wage much closer to ours would have been sufficient, I mean if he really was so enamoured with Harry's banter... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose Remy forgot how great Redknapp was when he refused to even speak to him earlier? Of course he must have remembered right about the time QPR came in with a £80k per week offer.
