Abra Dubravka Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Nobody has mentioned playing Cisse off the right, with Hatem on the bench, and getting Willo to loft it forward as aimlessly as he can? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Where would we rank him amongst Ba and Remy? Better than Loic for me, better attitude and more likeable. Seems to enjoy himself. Demba on top, of course. Remy was such a weird player. Had so much ability but just seems to have been forgotten as a PL player, not even sure if he achieved that much in France considering how highly regarded he was at one point. I never really trusted him after he turned us down to go to QPR, and think that will always colour my view of him. Just seemed to lack any real ambition.

We deserve a Klopp/Pep like era. Allardyce, JFK, Roeder, Pardew, Bruce etc, we're overdue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So weird he chose QPR given he genuinely had a team full of French lads who could help him settle, not saying they would have all been mates mind you. Feel like I read they heavily recruited him too. He probably was sold the same pitch - sign for QPR or Newcastle with the view that you will leave within a year or two to a bigger club. So he chose the money and London over Newcastle.

Me & my son were talking about this yesterday. I definitely recall reading, at the time, that he'd agreed to join us. Redknapp then went to France to try and change his mind and get him to sign for QPR. He was, apparently, offered 10k, 20k, then 30k more, all of which he declined, before being offered double what we were offering him, supposedly 80k, and a get out of jail free card, free to leave if they got relegated.

Didn't really follow his career once he left England, but doesn't seem to have pulled up any trees. He was unlucky as far as the national team I suppose, in that they had outstanding strikers for France so he never really got much of a look in.

Cronky Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'd pick Wilson over Ba and Remy. In terms of overall ability, there's not much to choose between them, but Wilson gives you 100% focus for 90 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Nobody should pick any of our recent strikers over Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Ba’s the best we’ve had since Shearer. 29 goals in 54 games which included a 14 match goal drought when he got moved out wide to accommodate Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Nobody should pick any of our recent strikers over Ba. This. I mean I think Wilson is very good for us so far and can get better, but Ba was brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I think Remy for those 6 months was a close second. It was like a watered down version of Thierry Henry but in terms of on the pitch, he was quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny36 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Remy never stayed at any 1 club for too long..he must have had 6/7 clubs since he left us .. its a pity as he would have been adored by us if he stayed longer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalmintheChaos Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Not that big a blow as we have nothing left to play for really but it’s just a shame this happened just as we actually started pressing up the pitch, looking good to watch and scoring goals. Also a shame it will be big joe coming in, surely it has to be Gayle though if we want to keep up this new way of playing. If it is Joelinton strolling about I feel we will just revert back to type.

Guest neesy111 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I'd play Joelinton ahead of Gayle with the new setup upfront. Gayle is totally anoymous if you don't give him chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
