Loïc Rémy

[Alee. 182]

Absolutely baffles me how this guy is 2 years older than Costa.

[Azul 1,615]

Is this actually happening?!

Such optimism!

Some call realism, but hey whatever works for you.

Remy is good but for a club like us, title chasers, plenty of games, pressing game with players get exhausted, Costa who is potentialy injury prone, we should target better than Remy. Even if Costa remains healthy, second striker will likely play 1/3 of all games and I wouldnt trust Remy in CL, or any bigger PL game...

Nah for me if costa picks up a long term injury we are fucked.

Dzeko is twice the player than both remy and 36-drogba.

Ehh, Dzeko is good, but incredibly wasteful. Remy would be a good option, obviously we don't want him to HAVE to lead our line for an extended period of time. He's not our main striker, that's why we have Costa. Remy could lead for a few weeks and we'd be fine, I think.

[robsblubot 3,595]

Dzeko is a starter for City...and did cost 35 m euros. Thats kinda the difference. Futhermore City are playing with 2 strikers.

I'm missing something here... Are we cheap now?! Are we looking for bargains only? Fact is city has dzeko and Aguero regardless of their valuation. Or do u think they care how much they costed...

Are you all so sure remy is an upgrade over Torres? Because I'm not. We got exactly what we paid for with Ba so why do people suddenly think the world missed on this 27-fantastic player?

He's ok just ok.

Lol one slight muscle injury and Costa is injury prone loooool.

[Billy. 2,742]

Remy will only play like 12-15 games for us anyways, great deal imo if all goes through, he is a BACK UP

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Just another Demba Ba signing who does well at a mid table team but will flop at a big team like Chelsea

Again... You can't really compare. Dzeko is not even a back up striker tbh, he was vital for City last year. Dzeko is pretty much a starter (he plays a lot of games even if Aguero is fully fit). He has to be a very, very good player (just under the WC mark for me) for that. Remy is a good player however, better than Drogba is right now, and in between the WC and just OK mark. He's a good striker. He's perfect for us in the sense that Costa will probably start in most of our games (75%). The fact that he's a clinical pace merchant as well means he'll get a few goals from the bench against tired legs when the game opens up more.

IMO we wouldn't even be able to bring a player of Dzeko's calibre to come sit here on the bench to be back up to Costa, so we have to go down a band where you get your Bony's/Remy's/Benteke's... And Remy is probably the best option available if you take into consideration price and the fact that Benteke is out injured for a while atm.

Remy is a massive upgrade on Torres for me.

I think he will start 15 games but have at least 25 more as a sub.
