Zero Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 cheeky 800k bid then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Remy actually said that one of the reasons he changed his mind about Newcastle was because we were facing relegation ourselves. That table puts us only 2 points clear of a relegation spot. Or 2 wins away from mid-table while QPR were 2 wins away from safety. It didn't put off the other Internationals we signed that window anyway and none of them got relegated or looked like mercenary frauds. I'm not even that fussed about signing him, but to make this about him being a mercenary is just laughable. How is his attitude any different to the way we run our football club? Agreed - beggars can't be choosers and when it comes to signing proven strikers, NUFC are now beggars. We won't pay a top fee for a top player, so we can't complain when players see us as second-best and a stepping stone because that is what the club openly admits that it is. Obviously, signing Remy is a risk medically now but unless the club have either got something better up their sleeves(doubtful if we are talking proven strikers)or are prepared to pay top dollar, signing Remy might just be the difference between staying up reasonably comfortably or being involved in a scrap at the lower end of the table. That's the harsh truth of it. I'm not even that fussed about signing him, but to make this about him being a mercenary is just laughable.

oldtype Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Given our track record with injuries, I don't want any part of him if he's failed a medical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Stoke's people seemed to think Demba Ba's knee would explode but its still going strong. We should make a bid! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 If his heart isn't in it then I don't want him here, people are quick to forget he went missing towards the end of last season when he just couldn't be bothered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I'll take any decent striker at this point. He has his drawbacks, and I'm not sure how Pardew can handle a team without a target man, but as long as there's someone up there who can score I don't care who it is.

James Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Don't think we will sign him unless he makes significant effort to force a move to be quite honest. QPR have themselves a ready made effective Premier League striker, why sell cheap if there is no clause? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Ideal for us. Medical issues haven't stopped us signing players in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Maiga, though like this one for Remy there seemed to be more to it than purely that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Would be very satisfying if we signed Remy because Borini didnt want to move to Sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Ideal for us. Medical issues haven't stopped us signing players in the past. Bit different when there would be a transfer fee involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Maiga, though like this one for Remy there seemed to be more to it than purely that. My first reaction. Wonder if Brenda has heard a better player is available and they used this as an excuse. Hard to see what serious injury would have only been found now but guess it will come out eventually either way. Cant see us getting him at all mind, he will still want his huge wages and QPR their fee. Both issues for us even at £8m never mind more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 According to the journo's Remy's wages aren't a problem for us and we are willing to offer him what he wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Southampton FC was probably available for around the money that Liverpool have spent on all their players this summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
