Loïc Rémy

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Well if Mourinho does indeed looks to gamble on Bamford I will take it any day of the week.

Don't know much about Traore, but I think Bamford deserves a shot with us.

No matter if it turns out to be a total flop we need to take a chance with our youth!

No chance, its not worth us selling Remy and relying on Costa, Falcao (who could be just as shit as he was for United) and a guy who has never played in the PL. I'd rather we had Costa, Remy and Falcao than get rid of Remy and use Bamford. Bamford is not ready.

Hi, i am Turkish and Trabzonspor fan.

My English very bad

I'm trying to learn this languange :)

Loic Remy contant the Trabzonspor ? This news is true ? I hope Remy come to us. For rent or for sale. İt doesn't matter...

What do you think about Remy ?

[Unionjack 7,531]

I must say if its true we sold him for 7m Euros Im shocked. The lad did everything that was asked of him last season.

OK he didnt set the world on fire but Mou didnt use him enough and instead played favouritizm to Drogs. I understand he is his mate, one of our greatest ever players and his last season but we should never play fovourites with team selection.

For a 3rd choice striker he sat quietly on the bench, never bitched or whined and got up and did his fuckin job. And for the money he cost us I dont think we coulda done much better.

And selling him for that amounts just plain daft.

Its plain as the nose on your face Mou just didnt get on with him for whatever reason which we know that means youre off.

I hope we can get better than him but I got a feeling Bamfords going to come in.

I don't understand this favrotism to Drogs stuff, itisn't true, at least not in terms of starting games.

Most times when Drogba started over Remy was during Autumn and that was because Drogba was playing well, he scored 6 goals in that period.

Drogba was often preferred off the bench because of his hold up play but outside of that period between Old Trafford and Spurs at home (when Drogba was #2 on merit) the only times Drogba got the nod when Costa was unavailable/rested and him and Remy were fit was Schalke at home and Villa away.

Remy might want to be a starter in order to get a place for next year's euro. Don't blame Jose for this.

If so then why for such a small transfer fee. You cant tell me thats all hes worth surely.

To expand on what I said here are the games Costa was rested/unavailable and Didier and Remy were fit and available and who started what.

League

Palace away Remy

Spurs home Drogba

City home Remy

Villa away Drogba

Everton home Remy

Stoke home Remy

Liverpool home Remy

Champions League

Schalke home Drogba

Marinbor home Remy

League Cup

Bolton home Remy

Derby away Drogba

FA Cup

Watford home Both

Bradford at home Both

So it's actually 7-4 in Remys favour and all the times Drog got the nod was the period he was actually in form. If Remy wasn't unfortunate to keep getting injured at the same time as Costa the numbers would be even higher in his favour.

Don't believe the rumours untill they are confirmed doubt we will get anything less than 15m euros if he does gets sold.

So is selling Cuadrado that inconceivable for you? Is there like no chance of it happening (even though he's been linked with a move away)? Because if that was the case then I could perhaps understand your FIFA analogy but I know you're not that naive (well I hope anyway).

Personally I don't rate Cuadrado too much, never wanted us to sign him and Reus has much more quality, so yes, it's not that fantasy-like to want us to sign a top quality player, available at a reasonable price and sell a player I don't rate, but each to their own I suppose.

In your opinion our AMs are good enough but I think there's definitely a scope for improving that. If you're happy with us having Hazard, Willian, Oscar and Cuadrado as our best option at AM then good for you but for me, we can and should improve, especially if we want to compete with the best in Europe. If you think that's so FIFA-like then good day sir, we won't be furthering this discussion.

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?

[Special Juan 28,097]

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 18,852]

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 8,883]

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