Loïc Rémy

[HRiver 1,512]

Remy is one of our most underrated players by far, liked him from day one and he continues to impress. Deserves to play way more.

who the f*ck even is Falcao?

Dear lord it's fun to look back 10 months in this thread and see plenty of people saying he will be another Demba Ba. The boy has always had class. He showed it in Newcastle by not only by scoring goals but being very good in his general game as well. Now he is doing with us.

Call me deluded but I seriously think with the way he keeps playing and improving he is not far off challenging Costa for the starting position. However, at the moment all I expect from Mourinho is more rotation. Starting 6 games for a player who can start in almost all premier league clubs when you have an injury-prone Costa and an ageing Drogba is a crime.

I don't mind Falcao coming here only if it doesn't mean Loic will get less playtime. I remember in the first few months of the season Jose started Drogba instead of Remy a lot of times when Costa was injured. I hope we don't see any of that with Falcao coming in.

He is a top striker and a perfect 2nd striker. If he would have had him last season, we would have won the title.

Remy has been a lot better than I originally thought - very happy about getting this one wrong.

Surprised by his movement and runs into space.

Question mark remains his fitness, but with Remy, we might have the luxury to give a chance to a youngster as a third option.

I'm happy because I supported this move right from the very beginning. Ship out Torres and bring in Remy (okay, he had a low buyout, so it was convenient) is an amazing piece of business.

One of my favourite players in the squad. I'm a fanboy.

Remy's got so much swag, its unreal.

Why would Chelsea want Falcao? I think he's kind of finished. Will be Torres 2.

Co-sign what you guys are saying. He's clinical in front of goal and it amazes me that only a minority of fans see this.

I can't remember the last time we had a second choice striker or any striker for that matter who inspired confidence. if Costa misses an important game, there's actually no need to panic as long as remy is fully fit and available. which wasn't the case in the past. To think just 2 seasons ago, Torres was our first choice striker. we have come a long way for sure.

Spot on, I absolutely love Loic, he's a threat and a clinical striker to boot.

I hope we see more 4-4-2 next season.

I would say Anelka used to get the job done. A very good second striker. Too bad he started playing the Mikel role - DM

[termninja 5,290]

he wasn't often injured and when given the chance he usually played well

I'm not saying he was injured all the time, but there were 2 times, once when Costa was injured and the second when Costa was suspended I believe, where Remy got the golden chance to shine and he couldn't play in neither run of games. I agree, not only he played well, but did much better then I expected. Great player.

But the issue here is that Remy isn't always fully fit and available, which makes me keen to sign someone in the Falcao category, in truth.
