Remy's sliding scale release clause revealed

[MYU]

Think about it 8.5m when he should cost 15m minimum, even if they him 80k a week they still get a good deal.

I can see him leaving.

This clause makes no sense. I'm sure that last year when we went down the Championship a team could have bought him for 8.5 million which is what was suggested with Newcastle.

Also don't some teams have to qualify for the Champions League? Additionally if a team gets knocked out of the Champions League can they no longer get him for 8.5 million.

Also what happens in the January transfer period. Is it worked out on the position teams are at that time?

Of course it doesn't. But no doubt it's just another guess.

As Ginge says, how can they know such detail about the phantom release cause, (the one our chairman denies existed), when they are so wildly wrong about most other things?

[DeepcutHoop]

Well that's the most specific claim as to a potential clause we've seen so far.

No mention of where they've got that from. The fact there isn't even a 'source close to the club/player", suggests this is probably not accurate. Imaginative though

[QPR1976]

They've just loaned out Iago Aspas too, does that just leave them with Sturridge and Lambert?

Has Borini gone back after his Sun'lan loan or did the Mackams buy him outright ? If not, he found form last season for a struggling team.

Also, if Spurs want him but don't wanna pay £11m, I would stand firm, don't buckle - Levy wouldn't. Taste his own medicine. Pay up or Shut up.

I think it makes perfect sense. He wanted to use us as a platform to get a big move to a top side, therefore he wouldn't sign if we put a huge release clause on him which may put said clubs off buying when the opportunity arised. Therefore, the lower price is only for those select clubs. That would've incentivised him to sign for us because he'd know if he performed well, at the asking price chances are more than likely he'd get a move.

The court case hanging over his head prevented interest when relegated, hence went out on loan.

Another reason it makes sense is because it's not in our interest to have a release clause that allows a realistic rival of ours snap him up so he can then do us damage whilst benefitting them. We're not competing with the top 6 in reality, but if he went to a lower team it could see them stay up at our expense, hence the price should be higher.

As for your champions league reference, it simply states top 4, top 6 and the rest, which is surely clear enough to understand???? No doubt based on the previous seasons standings.

Not convinced by that supposed clause. However interesting situation.

Remy, when he has commented, has always said he wants to try and win trophies and play in European competition. Arguably the English league is the strongest in the world. If no team that generally challenges for trophies comes in would there be much point in him moving given what we are allegedly paying him? Outside of the financials playing football seems to be a real motivation to him so if a big team comes in for him, say Liverpool or Arsenal, is he really going to want to go there as back up to others?

To my knowledge he has never criticized the club and we have played nicely in allowing him to go on loan during World Cup year so whilst no doubt he would like to play further up the league there is a fair chance he is reasonably well disposed towards the club and has good relations with Fernandes and 'Arry. It wouldn't surprise me if in his mind he is happy with idea of staying, trying to have a blinding first half of the season, and seeing what happens in January.

Personally speaking when he played for us always seemed to get his head down and work and no doubting his quality. Didn't strike me as one of the 'bad eggs.'

i think its good business if true ,as said previously , he`s a happy chap knowing a big club gets him if wanted and good for us that theres less chance a club down the bottom will sign him and put a nail in our coffin . I`d have him back like a shot ,good worker and proven goalscorer ,whats not to like ?

[QPR1976]

What if ?

Newcastle wanted Remy, but didn't want to pay £15 but would be willing to pay £10m.
Arsenal didn't want him, but offered to buy him for £8.5m, then selling him immediately for £10m to Newcastle ?
£1.5m profit Boom and we lose out.

Unlikely, but remember Clive Allen/Kenny Samson Arsenal/C.Palace carve up ?

I doubt they'd do same to help Spurs out though.....

Are you allowed to have 3 clubs from the same division in one season without a good reason?

[QPR1976]

Seasons not started yet.

spot on mate - pretty simple really

[maidstone_hoop]

Am the only one on here displeased by the thought of having Remy back?????? Can't see how he'll fit in with the notion of #findaway and #bandofbrothers....

I dont get this - remy was never a problem at QPR - he came in and scored goals. Was brought in to us fully knowing we was a stepping stone. It was great business by the club and the only way we was getting a player of his calibre to the club. He done his part at newcastle to. Just becuase he wants to play champ league football and the fact he's good enough doesnt mean he has a bad attitude or not the right sort.
He's 27 now coming into his prime and proved he can score goals in pretty average teams in the best league in the world..I think i'd want the opportunity to play for a top four side and prove myself with the elite.

I don't think you can have more than two registrations in the space of one transfer window - didn't this stop Derry from being player-manager at Notts County last year because he'd already been on loan to Millwall?

We dont want the 2 QPR players in the last 8 in the world cup back - but we want the only english player left at the final the 37 year old TV guy
