Loic Remy

[arunspurs]

Daily Fail is reporting Carlos Vela is about to join Arse on 3.5m deal (buy back).
If its the case, I can't see them going for Remy.

If Greg Stobart report is true, then he is more or less ours.

Edit : In fact Real Sociedad president seems to have already confirmed Vela is joining Arse.

I agree, makes no sense for them to bring in both and I do think the two stories are connected.

It will be interesting to see how he does back in the EPL. He had a great season last season but he was good in the Spanish league from his first season.

I think Vela will play in the wide forward position, so they may still be interested in Remy to compete with Giroud as the striker.

It would seem to me that between Podolski and Vela, and a Walcott return, they would be lacking only another out-n-out striker, and especially since Bendtner has been allowed to leave. They've now plenty of the versatile forward players, and I'd suspect they'll chase after someone to give Giroud real competition at ST. Just my guess.

As well as Oxlade-Chamberlaine and they usually play Cazorla in a wide position. Do you not think they will go for Remy to offer competition for Giroud?

Indeed they do (although it seems Wenger is heavily pushing Ox towards a CM role now, but you're right he's still another option for those roles).

I think they'll finally take out the stops and go for a top striker. It seems they've finally accumulated all the other pieces they need to return to title contention (aside from RB I suppose), and the only thing they're lacking is that lethal striker. So given this along with their options in the wide positions, I think they'll save that money they might spend on Remy and prioritize their attentions and funds on delivering such a striker, such as Mandzukic.

He's good enough to be in French squad.
He's good enough to score 14 goals in a shitty Newcastle squad

He's good enough for Tottenham IMO.

Best part about signing him ,is Remy could play in a 3 man attack along with Ade.

We are a squad fighting for top 4. Not for 8th. He's good enough for France? That literally means nothing. Chris Smalling is good enough for England. Does that mean he is good enough for us? Hell no.

Ade and Remy in the same XI? As if having 2 of the exact same type of players(streaky primmadonna forwards who can play some out wide that pick and choose when they want to play) in the same squad wasnt enough, now we want them in the same team? Oh joy! The objective is to do away with those types of players. Not stock up on them. We also already have Chadli who can potentially play as a winger/striker

Lets go one by one....

i) We are fighting for top4 - yes. But which striker in our top4 squad scored 14 goals last season ? Ade could have, if he had the full season. But Soldado had a terrible season. So, instead of looking at him as a Newcastle striker, look at him as a someone, who could score ,if given chances.

By your logic, are you saying, we should only buy from team above or around us & not look at elsewhere ?

ii) Remy is a France National striker. Period. Smalling ? He is lucky to be in that English squad. Even United fans despise him

iii) Chadli can play winger/striker - I am sorry, Chadli is no comparison to Remy in any way you look at it - stats or general game play.

iv) Ade & Remy is same kind of players ? Are you sure ? Remy even in Marseilles or for France has consistently played in 4-3-3, both from Left wing forward & Right wing forward. Remy tries to run behind defences, while Adebayor holds the ball & brings others into play.

v) Adebayor is a prima donna ? Are you sure? Give me one instance in the time he played for us, he acted like one ? He had a fight with AVB off field, which AVB couldn't forgive. That's all there is. Even when he wasn't scoring, his effort was there to see.

vi) Remy is a prima donna ? Are you sure again ? When did he behave like that "On the field". He had a offield issue, which was sorted in courts. That's all there is.

I'd be happy with Remy. Premier league proven striker, good finisher, and a low fee. It sounds like we'll be waiting a while though as haven't most teams got agent bans during the tournament? And if he scores a few goals in Brazil there might suddenly be a few more teams interested in signing him.

 

[C0YS]

I am unsure about this really. Remy as a player could do a job I'm sure, however, his off field issues worry me a bit.

While he did not get charged for his alleged involvement in gang rape it is a serious allegation and in many ways it would of been better if it was taken to a court of law so the situation would be clarified. Even so some of the comments Remy has made about the incident/allegation really do not sit right with me.

I genuinely would struggle to support Remy if he came to spurs.

 

[Drexl]

Why do people think that Remy is a Left winger/left forward? He's played up front and right wing from what i've seen of him at Marseille/QPR/Newcastle.

He's not good enough IMO.

He has outscored every Spurs player bar Bale in 2012/13 despite only playing half the season

He has outscored every Spurs player completely in 2013/14

Yet he is not good enough??

You couldn't make it up

 

[Vwbottom]

This has the makings of another "Willian" Fiasco.

Well that first part is wrong. Dempsey and Defoe both outscored him. The second part is a stunning feat considering that our top scorer, by far, only played half the season.

I don't think he's good enough, i'd much rather we get playing a system to suit Soldado, a far superior player, than sign Remy.

But as it stands he is innocent, yet he has obviously been tarred. It's why i'm very sceptical that naming people in cases like this is the correct thing to do. It completely damages a reputation whatever the final outcome is.

That is not the principle our justice system is based on.

Well I for one am relieved our justice system operates around 'innocent until proven guilty' rather than 'no smoke without fire'

 

[White_Midget]

I think buying any striker this window would be a mistake.

Got a feeling Bobby is going to have a great season if here, along with the others who have now had a bedding in season.

Soldado, Ade and Kane - Chadli as backup if needed?

Just feel remy would not bring enough to the team - especially with the midfield potential we have

But it is, though. People are regularly named before being proven guilty.

Hardly a mistake mate, what if Soldado is the same and Ade gets injured? Both big possibilities IMO.

Jeez, you really do not have the first clue, do you? Arun's put you right, which saves the rest of us the trouble.

I thought Arsenal are resigning vela to sell him and make a huge profit. It makes 0 financial sense to turn down an asset worth 10m when offered for 3.5m
