What remy done is that he's flew to London, basically askin every prem club if they want him so there's the likes of Man U, city, Chelsea, arsenal who have all said no, he was thinking about qpr but he doesn't want to be in the championship so he's looking at all his options, even as bad as stoke before he finalised anything with newcastle. So basically he's weighing up the best offer between leauge position and wages

Remy isn't coming, 'Arry said after yesterdays game the deal was as good as done.
Club will know this and they will already be pursuing other targets.

i hope west brom stuff qpr tonight

Pathetic sour grapes.
Blame board not Remy.
No ambition.

Looks like Remy is coming to Newcastle after all and the QPR speculation was just nonsense. It is believed Remy was simply going to London as well as newcastle to speak with harry, not necessarily to sign for them.

Apart from this, i am becoming very wary of the Fully African and French side we are developing. I personally would like to see some English players present. After all it is an english side.

Well i think its sort of good that we're doing that, we need to gel as a team and africa nations and french have very talented players

What crap what planet are you on

Arry says he's going to qpr and he's snapped up m'villa aswel

Comes to something when he would rather join bottom club qpr rather than the wee club from the north east.

And yous paid for a first class flight for him LOL

Its balances out as you lot paid for Cisse's. Thanks again.

My brain is hurting, so much going on but nothing happening Des Toon

How can you disagree its my brain so i should know

Just a thought, if we could sell Krull and buy Buckland with 4mil difference in the bank which would then be guaranteed towards buying a decent centre back. Would you sell?

Glasgow rangers fan here just wondering your opinions on mike Ashley reports that he's negotiating to chane the name of our stadium. He's apparently bought more shares of the club. To me he doesn't seem to be a passionate owner more a Money grabber . I don't really want him up here he hasn't invested that much with you guys.

His main aim is to market his retail empire in what ever way he can, that was why he bought us I believe.

Same story down here most fans hate ashley but there is an annoying few who thinks the sun shines out of his backside {Ed007's Note - Well it's big enough.}

Reports in France that remy has negotiated with three clubs Newcastle, qpr and a unnamed club and still is yet to make a decision, maybe is not all about the money. The people that say ashley been good for us, don't know what planet theere on. The best thing he's done has been he's balanced the book but we need a owner willing to go that extra mile to sign top players, not just putting a offer on the table and saying take it or leave it. Cb's we need one in fast. And I really doubt that we will get sissoko in other teams will ofer him better pay. We need to up a our wage cap. I'm dreading the day that arfa, cabaye ask for a pay rise.

Its all guess work, anyone can say we are in for David Beckham or who ever.
But at the end of the day the only person with the sterling notes has an idea who is going to bring in.
Never listen to the press or the man from the dog and bone, Northumbria Arms, Wheatsheaf etc. Just wait until you see him in a toon shirt holding up the team scarf.

Well said, mate. Far too many knaa-nowts on here quoting knaa-nowt 'journalists' as if QPR and NUFC let the whole world know their pay-rates, etc. Nobody has any idea how much we offered Remy, and nobody knows how much QPR have offered. One made-up Daily Mail story and it's cut-and-pasted on every blog going. People should calm down, await events and see what happens. The last week is when players make their choices. The best players hang on hoping ManC, you or Chelsea come in with an offer. The second-best get offers from NUFC, but look at Spurs and Arsenal, and NUFC may have to settle for the best of the rest. It's called reality.

Mario Ballotelli has just tweeted that Remy needs his head tested for choosing QPR over us. Class.

Maybe he wants to join Newcastle. AP might be able to sort his behavoural problems out lol

15 Jan 2013 21:47:36
you do know that is a fake twitter account? that it isn't really balotelli tweeting?

15 Jan 2013 20:37:55
It was a joke account

According to the Daily Mail we are trying to sign Siem De Jong from Ajax, about £9m. Fingers crossed but I'll believe it when I see it.

Why are we still looking at unproven players in the French market?
I said 2 weeks ago that we should be trying to sign Anichibe, pace, power, can play wide, geneuine goal threat and good in the air, all the things AP wanted. If we are prepared to spend £8m on a French player with a dodgy ticker, bad injury record, unimpressive goal scoring stats in a poor league why not offer Everton the same money for a proven PL player who twice this season has torn us apart?

I sincerely hope that Graham Carr does not spend all his time in France.

It is not like we are going to unearth anymore gems out of that league, every club is watching France now and we obviously cannot afford to compete with anyone else for players.

We should be taking a look at South American players, that is where Porto and Benfica look for players and everyone knows what kind of football Porto and Benfica play.

Second Everton fan on here in a short space of time trying to stir up interest in there player... was bad enough when you wanted 6 million and now your asking for 8? jog on

No not an Everton fan. Try a reasoned argument against my post instead of just writing pointless drivel.

We can't get the work permits as easily as the spanish/portuguese teams do for south americans

Seems as if the nufc scout net is only cast in france and holland. i agree that they do need to look further afield. belgium seem to be creating some players with great potential in the last few years.

My guess is that work permits are the problem which is why we concentrate on players in the EU

we can all post our opinions about remy ... our beloved club etc etc but at the end of the day its down to the player if he's been offered more money than we offered well let him go move on to our next target ... me i have a punt on danny graham and odemwingie get two forwards in for the price of one... ok they aint prolific but at least we would have two more forwards ... geordie tom

All day long, both proven in the EPL. Odimingwinge may be older but if his goals/assists keep us up so what. As for Graham, he is a Toon fan so woudl run through brick walls for the club. Won't happen though as they are not French or from Ligue 1 and despite what AP says the club are still in denial that we are in a relegation battle and think we are better than we are.
