Remy

[Abseits]

Surely they'll name him in their Prem or Champions League squads? They DO wheel him out occasionally in cups so unless they buy a new striker I can't see him going anywhere. For me, he's too injury prone anyway and would miss half our remaining games if we took him.

Remy showed his colours chasing the wage packet by choosing us over Newcastle,then on to Chelsea.

Plays for the salary only and has no desire.

The bottom line is that football is his job, it's as basic as that! We all do our jobs for the best salary/wages/pay possible. Footballers in the main are no different, and shouldn't be expected to have the same mindset as the fans.

But some actually give a t055,but you rarely get this these days with many foreign players.

Its why the Prem is for me just a cash cow with no hope for many clubs,who sign players like Remy through desperation yet he will walk away when it comes down to stand up and be counted.

fair point....tbh that's why I've made no secret of preferring the Championship. Of course I want us not to go down, but if it happens, will always look forward to the Championship and play in a more competitive league....but it's a double edged sword of course.

Agree mate,as you move down the leagues you get more commitment from more of your players,as long as you don't start throwing silly money about.

But like you say double edged sword,the draw is the EPL cash.

I'm not sure why but I have a feeling all this uncertainty to do with Zarate is based on the possible return of Loic Remy.

Remy was ready to commit and sign a new contract before Chelsea came calling and as we know, he's loved by TF and Harry. Remy hasn't had a kick at Chelsea and is even behind Drogba, currently third choice.

Chelsea are on the brink of signing striker Andrej Kramaric from Rijeka for 7.5 million. Rumours suggest Kramaric is to be loaned out, possibly to Leicester but it would make sounder financial sense if they were to loan Remy out. I highly doubt Remy is happy being third choice at Chelsea and a loan move back to Rangers would suit everyone.

I guess it all stands on the viewpoint of what they want to do with Kramaric. Are they happy for him to be third choice and not get much football or do they want him to be playing every week.

Or....could Kramaric be on his way to LR on loan from the Bridge?

I don't want Remy back he thought he was moving to bigger and better things and had he been here Bobby wouldn't of had a sniff and we probably wouldn't be were we are i the league

Sod remy he left us in the lurch, have you seen him lately he thinks he is one off the Jackson 5

We have dug a hole and can't afford to go down.

In a vicious circle now in needing to spend to stay up,yet we really need to reduce the wage bill.

No you're right, we'd be a lot higher in the league. Laughable that you prefer Bobby to Remy. Bobby has had an impact in a few games that's it. In most games he's been ineffective.

Find it staggering why people hold it against Remy for joining Chelsea. As a professional, you want to be the best and win as much as possible in a short career and there is more chance of success with Chelsea than us!

Saying all that, he was ready to sign a new contract with us but that never seems to be remembered. Funny how the same Remy 'haters' adore the mercenary that is Adel!

Spot on! I don't think some people realise the importance of staying up! If we go down, we'll make the Pompey debacle look like childsplay!

Getting a medal for being in a 25 man squad without hardly playing is not really 'winning as much as possible in a short career'.

Should go back to the old days of awarding medals.

Plus he was only willing to sign as time was running out.

That better option would be Demba Ba...according to Twitter!!

The same Demba Ba that has scored more than a goal every 2 games for Besiktas? Why would they let him leave?
