SeB 1,281 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm surprised he hadn't a thread yet. But anywayLoïc Remy, current Marseille's versatile striker. Came through the ranks at Lyon, never got a chance there (yet Benzema, Ben Arfa from the same 1987 generation did) and was loaned at Lens under Jean Pierre Papin's disastrous spell (Lens relegated in Ligue 2 after finishing 5th the season before). Signed for Nice where he was the main asset to provide goals (30 goals in two seasons) in a team facing relegation.He was expected to sign for Marseille but doctors did find a cardiac problem. After more analysis it appears he hadn't the problem expected and signed for OM.He has 43 goals in 105 games (18 + 25 in all competitions including Internationals) in two seasonsHis stats sheets (I was too lazy to be precise just above)http://www.lequipe.f...oueur25024.htmlI was wondering if we couldn't eventually enter on the market for him. We got Azpi for a friendly price and they want money (and incidentally Kakuta too).He could be the player we need as a different player from Torres: Rémy likes to cut crosses, he's an increadible heading player despite his size (1.85m, 6 ft 1⁄2 in). He used to play on the wings because of his quality to dribble, he's good and quick on the ball. His movements are good and he has a huge potential in front of goal.I always though he'd fill a central position somewhere and have a great career (no, I'm absolutely not linking Remy's possible career to the carrer of the Martiniquais player he's been compared for years. No, not at all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdog 2,084 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Couldn't really do worse than Benzema did at the Euro's.Actually I think he could do better, because he plays better as a point man...He will try to win headers & can score off a cross. I didn't see Benzema do this in the last Euro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Rémy would be fantastico on the right wing. And unlike a certain left footed Englishmen he can play for the team more than for himself. Rémy and Azpiliceuta would be great on the wing, due to the history.

Wouldn't say no to signing him, he's class.From what I've seen, RMC Sport is a decent source for this stuff?

Jype 6,398 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 That's usually reliable, they hear about the deals several days before it's official. They aren't investigators but relay informations.I've just turned on RMChttp://www.rmcsport....ort_player.htmlOkay. If you're listening to that, be sure to keep us updated if something new comes up!

Marvin123 534 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Speaking about fucking Nadal. I switched off the radiohttp://www.rmcsport.fr/editorial/294708/trois-clubs-anglais-sur-remy/Three English Cmubs on Remy.Les Spurs, qui cherchent toujours un attaquant supplémentaire, n’ont pas lâché la piste de Rémy et réfléchiraient à faire une offre pour l’olympien. Un transfert qui pourrait être favorisé par le départ deVan der Vaart qui devrait s’engager avec Hambourg. Selon nos informations, Manchester City, qui a des problèmes pour finaliser un accord avec Swansea pour l'ailierScott Sinclair, pense à Rémy. City s’est ainsi renseigné auprès de l’OM. Dernier club entré dans la danse, Chelsea, également à la recherche d'un attaquant, d'autant plus qu'on parle d'un départ de Daniel Sturridge pour un autre club de Premier League, et que Porto refuse de revoir l’indemnité de transfert de Hulk à la baisse.Basically:As VdV may sign for Hamburg (not convinced of that, having the #10 in any team should satisfy his ego enough), Spurs may make an offer Manchester City could make an offer as they can't finalise a deal for Sinclair (Swansea will manage to get more than £10m for Sinclair after refusing the £6,5m bid, that's classic! )And Chelsea may make an offer as Sturridge is on his way out (bullshit) and Porto doesn't want to low their demands on Hulk.Sturridge to Liverpool or spurs, I can see it happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Duncan Castles also reckons we are in for himHe's very reliable so there's got to be some interest. He says Remy is available for 15m which is not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Duncan Castles also reckons we are in for himNice. Surely that's another promising sign to indicate that we are at least looking into the possibility of signing him, Castles is not one to talk bullshit about this kind of stuff just to get attention. He also says that Man City are after him too, but no mention of Tottenham who have widely been rumoured to be the favourites to sign Remy for a long time now.

xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Reports in France and a very reliable French journalist on Twitter have reported Chelsea's interest and admiration of Remy. #CFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif 6,006 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I would love him on board.He's a great professional from what I've seen of him.He plays how and where he's told; isn't too selfish, and has impressive pace.I believe he averages a goal every 2-or-so games in Ligue 1 at the moment.For that price I believe he'd be a steal. He's not just a capable back-up; he's capable of starting in our XI if we need to change tactics for a particular game; assuming he would adapt well.He's a very good player indeed.
