Stuy_O Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I didn't mind Remy when he was here but if this is how far we are down the list then we are utterly desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 FWIW I thought Remy was brilliant and preferred him over Ba and Cisse in our modern era. But there are huge question marks over his motivation and whether it's even possible for him to get near who he was when he was last here. It all comes down to whether we'd bother playing him or not, for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Remy is completely done these days. This window is descending into the standard farce stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Nee way i'd take Remy. His legs have gone, he'll be totally unmotivated and won't give a shit and he's half the player he was when he was here. Bloke's pure mercenary, get someone in who might actually care.

thenige Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Aye thought he was fantastic for us, but absolutely finished. The fact he's barely played football for three years either at Chelsea or a shocking spell at Palace put paid to his top level career. Amazed he's not playing in the Middle East by now.

Zero 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. 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.

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...

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.
