Hughesy Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm not necessarily disputing it, but what evidence do we actually have that Remy's 'legs have gone' at 30? I'd be massively disappointed if he is the best we can do, but he might have something left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Loved Remy, tbh, even though he was a total dick. Legs haven't gone but his head has which is worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I can't understand the rationale to play a knackered Remy and let Mitrovic rot on bench. Really though? I know where you're coming from, but to me it's pretty obvious. Mitrovic just doesn't cut it and we don't have the benefit of being able to let him develop in the first team, we need someone that's ready now. In that case, at least sell Mitro now to recoup some cash and get other body in. That may already be the plan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 He is finished. I agree - he's barely played for two years so he's not going to be anywhere near match sharp. He just threw his career away by going to Chelsea - rarely even made the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Plan F initiate. Might as well bring Doumbia back. No doubt if fit and motivated Remy was a fantastic player for us. This just screams of disaster though, on the upside it's low risk and we aren't lumbered with him after. This window has been beyond disappointing. Real reality check of the club's standing and where we are at and have been the past 10 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Remy did well for Chelsea when he actually made it onto the pitch. It's not that long ago. It's a bit mad that he went to Palace when they had just splashed out on Benteke, but maybe he had fond memories of Pardew. Cabaye did the same thing. Anyway, Remy got injured straight away and Pardew was gone by the time he was fit. Given his career choices, I would question his motivation before his legs.

Big Geordie Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I would take the lad back if Rafa is sure of his fitness and commitment. That said, he will go to Swansea. I always worry about being linked to players who are happy to sit on the bench at top clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I think we're past the stage now of "If it's what Rafa wants, I trust him". Sounds like Rafa is now even in the 'Whatever we can get' mindset. Can't blame him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Remy!? Dear god! He's exactly the type of mercenary that got us relegated twice in the last 10 years. I hope we stay well away! He was only here one season, and in that season we finished as high as we did thanks to his goals and Cabaye, and he was injured for a part of it. Best striker we've had alongside Ba in the Ashley era, as grim as that is. If he can replicate what he was like under Pardew then happy days, but I can't see it, which is the reason I'd prefer us going for Jovetic. I think we're past the stage now of "If it's what Rafa wants, I trust him". Sounds like Rafa is now even in the 'Whatever we can get' mindset. Can't blame him. He's practically admitted that in the press. "We go from signing what you want to what you can". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Newcastle might be able to stretch to the £15million asking price for the player [Jovetic]' date=' yet his wage packet over three or four years could be more difficult and ultimately prove to be the stumbling block.[/quote'] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also made it clear he had no intention of joining us permanently and chose to sit on Chelsea's bench for 3 years instead. Good player, wank attitude.
