Loïc Rémy

[The Skipper 20,593]

After reading the epic battle between you and Pacquiao I'm convinced he has a point.

The team just bought Cuadrado for 27m days ago, and its really FIFA-liken to just dismiss a player who arrived in the team in the middle of the season and ask for Reus because you dont "rate" Cuadrado and think Reus has "much more quality", and thats it, we just sell one and buy another.

I think its also FIFA-liken to ask for another attacking player to compete with the best in Europe, since to compete with the best in Europe (I thought winning PL was enough to make Chelsea one of the best in Europe) the first thing to do is giving up 10 years old tactics, and when it comes to signing players, buying AM is the least of our concerns, as long as an average RB is playing as the LB, and a CB as RB because "they give everything" and in CM/DM we only have Fabregas who is inconsistent and Matic who is unidimensional. We need more dynamism there.

About the topic, come one guys. Ramy might be a good player, he was important last season, but he is a player that can be easily replaced.

Well, Pacquiao has fully contradicted himself by fully backing the potential Pedro transfer in the transfer forum, so he has voided his own argument himself.

P.S., in my opinion strengthening the AM strata is just as important as finding a good CM for rotation and possibly a new defender (if Luis leaves).

We actually went from Hazard, Oscar, Mata, De Bruyne, Schurrle and Willian to Hazard, Oscar, Willian & Cuadrado (the latter which I don't rate at all and I never wanted us to sign). Of course I'd prefer if we got rid of him, & given the rumours, I don't feel like it's FIFA like/unrealistic. It all depends on whether Jose & the board think the same though obviously.

Would you be happy if we sold Remy for 10m and brought in Bamford into the squad?

No, Patrick needs to be on loan again with a PL team this time, and bringing him in as third choice would be pointless.

[Pizy 18,368]

Would you be happy if we sold Remy for 10m and brought in Bamford into the squad?

Hell no. That could be disastrous. Patrick needs a lower level PL loan for a season first.

Would be ridiculous to sell Remy. Especially for such paltry sums that have been thrown around.

[Kieran. 6,317]

If he goes to Crystal Palace, I wouldn't be surprised to see them finish 6th or so.

[OneMoSalah 8,776]

Ideally Falcao should be 3rd choice if hes going to be as bad as he was last year.

[didierforever 7,349]

remy will be very useful as a 2nd/3rd striker as well as the 4th winger.

so selling him for 10mil would be a disastorous transfer as we would need to buy 2 players. i am pretty sure jose is not going for a squad signing AM cos of remy and traore.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

Yeah I have to say last season 37 year old Didier still gave more (and had better return) than Falcao last year. He needs to improve much more to play in front of even Traore and I doubt Jose will let a proven striking option in Remy leave when nobody other than Costa is somebody we can rely on.

Why would he have to do that to play in front of Traore, Traore is a winger.... but I get your point anyway, he definitely needs to improve.

[termninja 5,290]

I was just curious, I really like our Frenchman!

I really like hope Jose will convince him to stay. If he really wants to leave he can go in January, we earn more money from transfer and we will know how good Bamford and Falcao are doing.

[Whiskey 173]

Selling Remy without knowing what the Falcao situation will be like would be absolutley insane.

I mean, if Falcao is fired up again he sure is gonna push Remy off to the bench for good, thats for sure, but imagine an injury to Costa and being stuck with a Falcao as we saw in united. It would be like having Torres back again.

It would be absolute madness.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Don't think he's going anywhere. I think Jose considers him part of the winger rotation now too.

[CFC888 219]

I think Jose considers him part of the winger rotation now too.

I hope so! I thought he showed quite a lot when he played there last season, particularly later on in the season. It would be great for him to get more games by playing on the wing when Costa/Falcao are up front.

[Tautvix 1,321]

I really don't believe all these stories about Remy leaving. There's just no point of selling him...
