Guten morgan Bayern fans überall!
Loic Remy is making his loyal to the last noises, ‘I’m not ready to go for now. I did not feel they have really done a full season in Marseille. My sense of unfulfilled duty.’ it is suggested by the French press that Spurs have recommenced talks that were left for dead at the beginning of the year.
La Provance the French newspaper are running the tale that Tottenham met with Olympique Marseille on the 4th of January in Paris. A deal was proposed that Spurs buy Remy for a figure thought to be in the region of €24m and loan him back for the remainder of the season.
With the seasons in both countries more or less done and dusted the quote from the French paper is, ‘The contact has been renewed in concrete with a stated goal: to settle the matter as quickly as possible, before the European Nations Championship.’
Hurrah. Probably.
Hmm, not sure I’, that fussed about him either. Would rather we moved quickly for Llorente, think he’d score plenty with the service we provide.
On another note, just want to highlight the progress of our club over recent seasons:
– Spurs fans unhappy at finishing 4th behind Arsenal
– Arsenal fans jumping up and down just becuase they finished above us.
How times have changed. Get our transfers done and dusted ASAP and get off to a flyer next season.
Just getting my Bayern kit ready for Saturday!
To be fair we would be jumping up and down if they’d got arguably what they deserved and finished a point behind us instead. Just goes to show how pointless it all is!! :angry:
Amyl nitrate kicking in, crack wearing off LLL?
I’m with Cartel on this one. I am slightly worried about Remy’s goal scoring record. Statistically he is not better then what we already have… so £24mil is pretty expensive for a striker that scores less than 1/3. I really want to be convinced… can someone please help?
Lemy is played as a right winger, in the ‘wing forward’ style, so he would be a replacement/alternative to Lennon.
He has scored a goal every other game and also has a decent amount of assists, for a wide forward, thats ideal.
I think he would be additional to a Llorente loan man forward and I think our formation suits him more than it does Pienaar, Kranjcar etc, so it would boost our squad.
I tend to agree with cartel, when you look at the depth of talented clubs in most leagues its a single digit number. Look at Hulk, valued at 100million for scoring what 17 in 22 games or something, but its in a league that for the most part is full of teams and players no-one has heard of or likley ever will!
A lot of leagues are basically like the Scottish league, two or three serious sides who will always be in the limelight thrashing cardboard cut-out sides. But put these players into the EPL, where even a trip to a bottom three side is a battle and they have to go hard every week and then the quality is more speculative, especially if they cost over 20 million quid.
I wonder how well Obika or Kane might do in Portugal or France?
Are the people really unhappy with fourth? I would have taken it at the start of the season. I am gutted to finish behind the goons but you just need to look where we were 5-10years ago Harry and Jol have both taken us places we used to dream of! A couple of class signings and it could be onwards and upwards. Great season COYS!
Pete-o. Remys goalscoring record in the French League (53 in 140 games) is better than Drogba’s was (51 goals in 144 games) He cost 24 Million and has done alright in the Premiership…
Rebrov had a high scoring record though… and if I’m not rong,Postiga may have had a similar record.
We have a history of signing karp strikers from abroad. I’m not saying who we should get because what do I know. I just worry about signing players on big money. It always seems like a 50/50 with us!
I’m by no means saying we should sign the guy, I don’t watch French Football and have no idea what he is like – and agree about the risk of big money signings. The point was just that sometimes people without great scoring records elsewhere (Drogba) are brilliant here, whereas those with amazing scoring records (Kuyt, Kezman) are not.
I would favour signing a couple of proven premiership strikers(Ba, Tevez, Adebayor) and taking a low-cost, low risk gamble on a young lower league striker (Jordan Rhodes, Jay Rodriguez, Charlie Austin)
