ewerk 31238 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 They'd be happy to replace him if they could but I can't see them getting two top quality strikers in in January, particularly when they know they're not certain to be starting.

David Kelly 1260 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Remy on loan would be an excellent move for us. So on that basis alone it won't happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 4240 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Lacazette is probably a show for the fans but I seriously hope we're looking at replacements for Dummet and Colback if we've got any aspirations of playing in this league next season.

David Kelly 1260 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Any bid for Lacazette now would be absolutely ridiculous and a complete waste of time. Keegan wouldn't be able to persuade him to come here in the state we're in now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Sign him and we'll not be struggling against relegation, sell the club to him as a work in progress, press upon him the quality that exists in the squad, remind him of the transfers that players have enjoyed after playing for us.

Â /DevilsAdvocate Do you ever remember player like him who is being linked with top clubs, ever signing for a club who are one of the favourites for relegation part way through the season? I could have bought into him signing in the summer but not now when we're clearly in the shit. And he's also well in with a shout of signing for someone who will pay him a lot more than us.

I could have bought into him signing in the summer but not now when we're clearly in the shit. And he's also well in with a shout of signing for someone who will pay him a lot more than us. Â The biggest club he was linked to in the summer was Liverpool, wasn't it? I mean properly linked, not just the Man Utd & Arsenal links that appear for every player ever. (Apparently they're after Vardy and Troy Deeney respectively...) Â I'm agreeing that it's highly unlikely, but it's not completely impossible. Short term deal with an option to extend if/when we survive, fatten out the contract with incentives for goals, appearances and league finish. It's doable, is all I'm saying. Â Mind you, this link seems to have been publicised and then refuted by the Mirror, so it's likely to be nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been after him for years and couldn't get him when we were in much stronger positions so we have no chance now. As I say, at best it's just time wasting if we are trying for him. In our position I'm not convinced he'd be the best bet to save us either. I know they're more short term options but I'd rather see us sign Remy on loan or Charlie Austin as I'd be more confident they'd be able to hit the ground running than another young lad coming from France.
