Remy latest

[Nick]

I don't think that's quite true Jane. Harry originally scouted and targeted Remy, and it was Tony who did the deal. Harry would love Remy to stay but has just been realistic in his quotes about the slim chances of keeping him due to the release clause and Remy wanting CL football. Things may well have changed now though.

Also remember Harry wanted Remy when he was at spurs, so he's a long time admirer. Very much doubt anything has changed, but you never know. Personally I think both TF AND HR want him here as much as the other and know full well he'll score goals.

It's just a feeling I have. Yes I know Harry scouted him, but it was Tony who got him to agree, which meant Harry didn't really get a chance to brag about it (perhaps I am being mean). Also he has been saying for months that he won't be at Rangers this season, but I don't really remember him saying that he would like him to stay. The scenario is similar for Granero, but on several occasions Harry has said that he would like Granero to stay.

Does anybody think that part of the problem is that Tony wants him to stay and Harry doesn't. Harry didn't sign him and he has been saying for months that he won't be staying. On the other hand Tony has indicated several times that he thinks he could stay.

Not for me why would Harry not want him to stay if he could keep him when were crying out for a striker??? We wont get a better striker then Remy in unless were going to spend mega bucks

Kevin, that means sod all at the end of the day if it doesn't even make it to court because the charges have been dropped. His name has been cleared. Re googling certain combinations of words means precious little - gossiping/tittle-tattle with no substance is for the dumbed-down idle. That's not true stigma.

I dont think he did anything wrong in that case, im just listing reasons im not keen on him and why for me hes the 'wrong sort'.
Quiet homely 'right sort' players dont get falsely accused of horrid stuff like that, so i added it to the list cos i felt it was justified.

By the way, i hate the 'wrong sort and right sort stuff as well, but stain asked why do people think hes the 'wrong sort' and all i did was listed my reasons.

[jmelanie]

Will go on loan back to France I bet, won't play for Rangers not even the slightest bit excited over this news. No premier league club will go near him now.

He has a court case pending in France, which is one of the reasons he left I the first place.

I agree that this all sounds suspicious. He had a preliminary medical in the UK before flying out to Boston (though some papers say he went to NY), so wouldn't they have found something then. Also why do the medical in the US. He wasn't going to play there because he was still on holiday from the World Cup. Also he went with his family.

Perhaps they'd planned to get him involved in their pre-season tour asap, or perhaps the preliminary medical found something and Liverpool wanted it checked out by a specialist?

Some inaccurate info on this thread.

Remy does want champions league but is also reluctant to take a pay cut. Arsenal offered him 50k a week and he turned it down.

Don't know about this pay as you play thing from Liverpool but they were probably reluctant to pay him the 80k he wanted when a)he wouldn't necessarily start every game and B) he does appear to have a heart problem.

He may not want to stay, who knows, but he is unlikely to get Champions league as only an English club would pay him any where near 80k and all those are out of the running know.

Newcastle or Spurs might match his wages but very much doubt it, so it looks like whether he likes it or not he will have to stay with us to get the money he wants.

Come on , dont try and get me banned again please. When have i once ever mentioned or said 'guilty'?
Not me anywhere, i said hes got it to his name and it will never ever leave.

Does anyone else think that Liverpool may have used the medical as an excuse to pull out of the deal i.e. they have other targets in mind? It seems very bizarre that they would fly Remy out to the US, and then by all accounts fail him for "potential problems" according to The Telegraph. The problem with his heart has been well known for years, and I can't remember him ever missing a game during his career with a knee problem. Much more to this than meets the eye IMHO.

I don't need to be told about stigma thanks, by anybody, mod or regular user.
You got **** to your name and its a massive stigma where i come from, might not be where you do and i respect that. But you wont change my mind.

But surely there has to be an element of truth to the allegation for it to have stigma???

As an example my mate lives on the South Acton Estate (Arlington Crt) and one afternoon came out to find a load of scag heads shooting up on his door step so he chased them off about half an hour later Peado was written on his front door. Now he not a peado but these t its just wanted to be cants because he stopped them getting high. No truth to what they wrote other then them wanting to be horrible cants because they know stuff like that on the estate causes untold grief

Now Remy may well have dipped his quill in an ink well without prior approval but the law of the land says he never which is good enough for me

[Mattyqpr]

If he does go clubs are going to be haggling on a deal and personal terms now they know he's failed a medical, which will seriously **** up our striker search.

The clause is there and I'm guessing TF will have told Remy that in the past. He ain't going nowhere until the clause is met. People are making out this lad is screaming from the rooftops that he wants out, when really, he just wants Champions League football.

I find it amazing the reaction to Remy yet the same people adore Adel!

[acricketer]

I can see him staying. London has a better transport system than most.
