Tooj 17 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Is this guy really worth 11 million? Seems a lot of money for a player who is third choice in league 1. It's not at all if you knew a bit about him. You need to dig deeper sometimes CT and fully evaluate the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4831 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 It's not at all if you knew a bit about him. You need to dig deeper sometimes CT and fully evaluate the circumstances. Fire away! I know he's 3rd choice this year and has started 2 league games. I gather he was top scorer for marseille with 12 goals last year. Im happy for you to tell me if its simply a case Marseille have bought better players or whether its just a bad season etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7492 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Is it not that he's had injury problems of late, and hasn't been able to dislodge the current first team forwards? Two and a half years ago Marseille forked out EU 15M so they'd want to get as close to that as possible one would imagine (12M+ pounds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun 0 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Has this been posted? NUFCfans.co.uk @nufcfans"I know of Newcastle’s interest but I would like to play in Germany." Loic Remy (via @lequipe) #NUFC. Conclusive? There is noting on lequipe though. The latest article is this: http://www.lequipe.f...ewcastle/340812 Did he just make it up?

David Kelly 1260 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 La Provence is saying we will be making an 11m euro bid in the next 24 hours apparently. No idea who La Provence is or how reliable it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I love how people on twitter get excited about a news story in a foreign paper, where if it was in the Daily Star it would be dismissed as paper bollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1260 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Apparently it's the local paper in that area (their equivalent of the Journal. Not sure that's a good thing like!) who first broke the story of us signing HBA and were spot on about that. Not that a paper's ever been right about one deal but way off about another!

ChezGiven 0 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 http://www.laprovence.com/actu/om-en-direct/mercato-newcastle-va-passer-a-loffensive It basically says that but adds that the 'sum of 11m euros has been evoked in England' which could mean the figure of the actual transfer itself. But ! The second paragraph asks whether the challenge of playing for Newcastle interests him? "Having reflected upon it for a long time with his entourage (and leaving some doubt?), Loic remy will be from now on inclined to envisage his departure. To pursue his career at Newcastle tempts him" which is very positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22155 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 the sooner this deal is done the better; not sure i have the stomach for many more sightings of the shola/ranger partnership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17660 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 To pursue his career at Newcastle tempts him" . Sounds like Barton and maybe HBA (they must know each other at least?) might be whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Anyone want to express an opinion as to what sort of player he actually is? Darren Bent type? Andy Carroll type? Shola type? Whats the thing about him being able to play wide as well, does that mean in midfield of further forward?

David Kelly 1260 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I would have to wonder what positives Barton would say to him. Fans, stadium and facilities yes but I can't see him being massively positive about Pardew and he'll certainly be negative (to say the least) about the owner/chairman! As for what type of player he is, Christmas Tree's the man to ask there! I know little myself but from what I understand he's more than comfortable playing wide as part of an attacking three so he would suit up with Cisse and HBA. From that I would take it he's not like either Carroll or Bent and the fact that he's a French international would suggest he's nothing like Shola!

Yeah I know it's not great like but while I don't buy into the whole 'if Car's scouted him he must be great', I am more inclined to believe we know more about someone we're looking like attempting to spend circa £10m on than whoever wrote that. I'd love us to be going for someone who I knew a lot more about and was confident would be a success but I can't say I can think of any realistic target who would improve us so I will have to back our scouts to have done their job properly.

Gemmill 46034 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 But unfair of that article to single him out because he has a heart problem. Most French players have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
