That is the one bit of transfer gossip I would believe to be honest.

That ship has sailed - we could have had him for sweet fa in the summer and he was a player that I mooted here on several occasions (to be shot down by the majority it must be said) We lack pace up front and we lack natural goalscorers up front and he would have been worth a shot at the price he was available for, cos if nothing else he would have been good enough to be a back up option.

Am I right in saying that he is only on loan with the geordies for the season ? If so we wont have a chance of signing him next month

The concerns with Remy are/were over his injury record. He might have been worth a punt on loan but no way should we pay 12m or give him a long term contract imo.

Think there were also some concerns over his *ALLEGED* rape record at the time too

Reports are Balotelli has been transfer listed by Berlusconi.

Balotelli isn't coming. Way ahead of you SteveO

[northbank123]

Also he is on loan for the whole season, that article is talking about signing him in the summer

[SteveO 35]

Juventus are poised to battle Premier League clubs Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal to sign Real Madrid's Argentine winger Angel Di Maria, 25, next summer .

Talk Shite reports

Di Maria isn't coming.

Augie 'bragging' about spotting Remy I'd rather be spotted shagging one of the two Old Trafford banner lovelies. Remy is fucking shite.....a quick Giroud......and I hope with every bone in my body that he isn't coming

[officepest]

Giroud
Podolski
Walcott
Sanago

I'd be gobsmacked if Wiggy is asked to countersign any cheques this January.

Chelsea to get done in 1 day what There's Only One couldn't manage in 3 months. The new Mata

[TeeCee]

There's more chance of Santa Claus coming a second time than Arsey Wonga buying someone, not a chance in hell!!!


Besides, we have Diaby and NoGo coming back from injury in 2015.......

[QuartzGooner]

Cannot find it now but we joked about Loic Remy being the "most linked" Arsenal player for transfer windows, he has been linked with a move to us for the last three years at least.

@SteveO This season Remy has 10 goals in 15 appearances, how is that considered to be a bad player?

My guess is that Remy's legal issues made us not bid for him this summer rather than any lack of awareness of the player, about whom the unusual step had been taken of Grimandi having issued a previous statement (two years ago?) saying Arsenal were impressed with his ability and were continuing to watch.

Steve O, answer me this..

1. is remy better than the worlds greatest Danish striker ?
2. is remy a better option than le postman pat ?
3. is remy a better option than "super quality" park ?
4. is remy a better option than giroud ?

I would argue that the answer to all 4 questions should be yes which supports the idea of him being a good option - of course he isn't the worlds best striker but he is better than all the options we currently have so on that basis alone he would be an upgrade surely ?

[officepest]

Wenger appears to be a fan (of Remy) if what I've read in the build up to the Toon game can be taken at face value but it's surely moot as he's on a season long loan?
