Loïc Rémy

Quality post!

So you think remy is better than giroud? Ok...

Remy is better than Giroud imo, but he is underrated because he plays for QPR and not Arsenal. If he was playing for Arsenal I am sure he is well capable of getting 10-15 goals there too, which is what Giroud is getting consistently. Also he got pace which is always a good attribute to have for a top striker.

Costa, Destro, Remy? Sounds good.

No that isn't good at all, something like Martinez, Costa and Remy is good. Destro is just about the same level as Remy, wouldn't be good enough to lead our line.

I actually meant ignore my comment because i replied to the wrong post, i should of put edit or something

Erm they are very different strikers, As a Bench options Giroud isn't bad but as a 1st choice he is very poor. With our current strikers i would have remy over Giroud purely because he offers a lot more options.

Yeah saw your second reply but I'm on pad...

Like others I am worried that both of our options are not remotely close to costa in terms of quality. One is powerful and still good in the air, and the other is pacy but lightweight.

We will be very reliant on costa... Perhaps over-reliant

[LemmeBorrowThat 124]

Costa doesn't need to be challenged. The man is clearly our #1 option up top, that's what we signed him for. Nothing wrong with having a clear hierarchy amongst players.

Also if we cant keep player like Bony or Benteke happy on the bench, I dont know how City manages Jovetic and Negredo, Real Benzema and Higuain (year ago), United Chicarito...

I would understand Falcao, Cavani wouldnt be happy on bench but Bony, Benteke or even Jackson should be! We are still one of best clubs in world, we could achieve many trophies together and they would still play LOT even as second striker. Paycheck is good and being coached by one of best managers around.

At one point I bet people will start comparing Remy to Torres, how it would actualy be better if we kept Torres. Save this post if you want to, he will be decent, few games without goal and people will get dissaapointed with him.

I mean even Etoo got blamed for things last year at times and he actualy had very decent season.

Exactly, I mean maybe Falcao or Cavani was overdoing it but bloody hell most people think Costa shouldn't be challenged because he won't be happy. We need someone signed for a big fee with a good reputation( top 20 strikers in Europe) to be 'challenging' with Costa or 'backing him up'(what people want/prefer for our future strikers) to him.

Jackson Martinez 30m euros for example is a great option, he had to fight with the likes of Falcao...etc in Colombia and still doing decent, why can't we get someone like him?

Well Mourinho thinks Destro has the potential to be a top striker and the Guardian say we will maintain interest in him so I'd say it's quite likely we'll buy him next season assuming Drogba leaves.

[sherry33 234]

Seriously out of all targets we get Remy?

I don't even understand those people who say he is good, he is more or less the same as Ba, saying anything otherwise is as false as it can get.

[LemmeBorrowThat 124]

Ba wasn't a bad player though, he just wasn't a #1 striker. And while Remy shouldn't be a #1 either, his skill set helps him bring a bit more to the table than Ba.

Agree with your point. J. Martinez doesn't do it for me though. Bony would be ideal. But then again, with only two days left, clubs will demand top dollar for their players. That makes things a lot more difficult.
