Loic Remy

[Redder Lurtz]

Never understood why he went to QPR other than the possibility nobody else in the premier league was in for him at the time and him using them as a stepping stone. He's hardly set the league on fire but let's face it, he's playing in front of a shite midfield. Personally I'd be pleased to see him here and we'd only be looking at around £8m

 

Discuss.

[lifetime fan]

If he's happy to not be a guaranteed starter every week then I'd happily have him for £8m.

[Ronnie Whelan]

At 8 million, he'd be a quality signing.

[mht1892]

Personally for 8m I dunno why we ain't gone for Ricky Van Wolfswinkle, heard the deal to Norwich is off ?

 

He's clinical and exactly what we need in a striker.

[xerxes]

Remy would be a very good call.

 

I expect West Ham and spurs to be in for him though.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

At his age i'd assume he'd want a starting place, and he's no doubt on high-ish wages.

 

He'd make good cover, but i'd rather not see us reduced to playing CFs out wide when everyone's fit just because we still have no decent wingers.

[A_S]

What's he on per week at QPR? And where is the £8mil figure from?

[Garrincha]

I think Remy will be the Demba Ba of next season, spurs will probably sign him to replace Defoe though. But we should definately look to sign him for 8 million.

 

I think Brendan would rather spend the money on an attacking midfielder and if he sells Downing a right winger / attacker. We should look at Mertens to replace Downing, i know he's left footed but so is Downing. Rodgers likes to invert his wingers, Coutinho is right footed but plays on the left.

 

Eriksen or Mkhitaryan are probably the best bets for the attacking mid role. But if we sell Carroll i'd love us to sign Remy or maybe look at the eredivisie because Bony is tearing it up.

I'd imagine he's a real wedge at QPR mate. Newcastle had scouted him and done most of the work on a deal to sign him in January and if you recall, QPR swooped in at the last with what was reported to be double the wage offer, which must mean that he's on around 70k per week.

 

And given that QPR were in the shit when the move was proposed and signed, chances are that wages were not the only incentive and a 'get out' clause in the case of relegation would have almost certainly been inserted in the contract I would imagine.

 

I'd say the 8m figure comes from what they paid for him, so as not to price him out a move...AND QPR should they go down, they wont want that sort of wage on the books next season and there is no way he will have come over here to play Championship football.

 

It's all guesswork like, but probably educated guesswork as it would make sense given the circumstances of his signing for QPR in the firdst place.

[cloggypop]

Bony is boss. I prefer Tadic to Mertens myself though.

[Ranxerox]

think 2 CB's and a replacement for Downing are priority, though Remy at 8million would be good business.

sounds perfectly logical though

[janmolby]

Looks good from what little I've seen, sure to move on from QPR when they get relegated.

 

Nothing stopping us from sounding him out without a ridiculous contract offer.

 

I've never understood this notion that footballers wages can only ever go up...

[Anubis]

Never understood why he went to QPR....

 

[Garrincha]

Bony is boss. I prefer Tadic to Mertens myself though.

 

Tadic is a very good shout, i just see something in Mertens, he has everything you'd need to be a success here. He can beat a man, score spectacular goals, get the tap ins, has the technique, pace and stamina to play in the premier league. We should definitely look abroad though, Ince would be a big mistake.

[Jim MM]

Triffic player, would love him here, he'd fit right in, would be a triffic move for the lad. But obviously he's under contract at QPR so I won't speculate on how triffic it would be for him to move on.

[Reckoner]

Mercenary prima donna aged nearly 27 on £75000 a week, not quite the profile we want, so they say, and rightly so.

[J-V]

Off to the Spuds.

[Jairzinho]

No thanks.

[Chinandeler Bong]

Id give em 7m tops.

[Redder Lurtz]

How's his name pronounced anyway? "Lowick" or the way brummies pronounce "like"?

[Nightcat]

He'll be the bargain of the summer. If, if, if, if, if Carroll goes, he should be our primary target.

and what exactly are we looking for? Dempsey?

[Jonjo Baldy]

His the new Nzogbia, will be at newcastle next season.

[aws]

Is he any good in the air?

[TheHowieLama]

Is he any good in the air?

 

Yes.
