BrettNUFC Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 When was the last time we signed someone? Let me shorten that down for you. Good point, but not on this particular point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 We should aspire to far more = negativity. ok Stuff like, if Remy signed last summer, we'd be selling him after the World Cup anyways? Howay man, Dave! That's nothing to do with aspiring to more, it's just absolute negative bullshit! Our history of keeping hold of players that improve exponentially isn't particularly good, I'd expect that is the point. A large factor is the way we have no ambition whatsoever to improve. Remy is a mercenary, it's perfectly plausible he'd have done the same as Demba Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Was in Demba's contract that silly clause. He engineered that in there in hope for the deal he got though. We should look to sign and build which we evidently don't, but it's not as ridiculous as people make out to be. Very much exaggerated to make out like our signings are only here from 6 months to a year when that's certainly not the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 In three of the last four Januarys we've sold by far our best performer and done absolutely nothing to fill the gaping void. That's not negativity, it's fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Are we really having this conversation? The period we retain a player's services is not based on what's best for the team, it's until a) player has reached their "optimal" resale value or (much more commonly recently with our better players) b) they are so fed up with our lack of ambition they threaten to down tools unless we let them go.

That's not negativity, it's fact. Aye it's rotten from the board, disgusting. All for criticising that part of things but playing down us signing people because they'll leave within a year just seems a bit pathetic because it's not the case. Agree with post above, that's basically how it goes. Even that is still a disgrace, fucking hate how we are run! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not negativity, it's fact. Absolutely, and it's not coincidental either. It's our f***ing business strategy and to the current owner the very reason for our existence.

Remy has this season been "by far our best performer" as Dave puts it with the others, so it's not much of a stretch to think he might have been in and out fairly quickly.

Well now he's on loan I agree he will probably be away. Had we signed him permanently last summer though, I wouldn't be thinking he's off after WC because he's had a good year. Others we've got now have been just as effective imo this season but i'm not thinking we are cashing in already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebellious Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-trigger-loic-remys-8million-3222436 The France forward has impressed on loan at Newcastle United and Arsene Wenger wants him on board at the Emirates Stadium Arsene Wenger will use an £8million clause in Loic Remy’s contract to gazump Newcastle United for the forward’s signature this summer, writes Neil Moxley of the Sunday People . The France international has a get-out in his agreement that allows him to quit QPR for that figure and the Arsenal boss is poised to pounce. Remy has spent this season on loan with the Tynesiders, jumping ship after the west London team was relegated last term. And Wenger will snatch the forward from under the Geordies’ noses for the cut-price fee by using the lure of Champions League football. Remy’s 13 goals this season have played a major part in pushing Alan Pardew’s men up the Premier League table. And there are growing signs that Lukas Podolski will not be the answer for Arsenal on a long-term basis and Wenger needs extra firepower. Rangers, who posted £65.4m losses this week, will have little say in the matter once the clause has been activated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 £8m for Remy is a bargain like. Sure there'd be plenty of takers at that price and i'm not sure we could compete in terms of wages and competitive status. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there'd be plenty of takers at that price and i'm not sure we could compete in terms of wages and competitive status. Totally - whoever gets him gets a proven goalscorer at a relatively bargain price. We are going to need Graham Carr to be on form for next season's striker loans.

Varadi Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 If he goes to a Champions League team, will he start more than 20 a season? Without a doubt I would say, especially at Arsenal. The only players who've scored more than him in the Prem this season are Suarez, Sturridge and Aguero, imagine how many he'll get with decent service in an attacking side?
