Very bad news tonight for Newcastle fans, as it seems that money talks and Loic Remy has indeed been talking to QPR – and it looks like they have won the race to sign the striker – and heaven knows what wages they have agreed to pay the striker - but £85K/week seems to be a popular estimate.
What’s wrong with this picture?
Loic Remy - off to QPR
QPR have put a much better wage deal together for the French International and it looks like he will accept it and join the bottom placed club.
And it must be true because Joey Barton, on loan from QPR, broke the news on that Twitter account of his:
“Just heard from a magician that Loic Remy has signed for QPR.” “Not sure what happened at Newcastle probably Managing Director Derek Llambias again.
“Gift of the gab from Harry Redknapp perhaps? Thought it was done and dusted to Newcastle.” “Something must of gone amiss. .”
This is not only a hammer blow to the Newcastle club – but a hammer blow to the fans – and to think we couldn’t wrap the deal up – but money talks, and the news is they will also pay massive wages to get Yann M’Vila too.
This puts Newcastle back looking for another striker – when it looked odds on that Newcastle would tie up Remy – but now we are back to square one – and Remy has gone where the big money is.
Its also just a little scary that QPR are beneath Newcastle in the league, but they are strengthening big time in January.
We know we cannot compete for big players with the top six clubs in England – but to be hijacked out of a deal by the bottom of the league club which gets a measly 18,000 fans at home games is embarrassing to say the least.
Alan Pardew must be pulling his hair out – I am. 
QPR are trying to buy their way into staying in the Premier League – now how many players have they bought since Tony Fernandes took over the club?
The best way to look at this is that Remy, like Demba Ba before him – went for the big money – so did we want him at Newcastle – probably not.
Sorry – but that’s the best I can do.

I am just as gutted as anyone but ,I don’t think that if the medical was a problem we should blame Ashley and co
They are after all making the call with much more info than us.
A five year deal is a massive commitment
Let’s move on an get after aubmeyang

M’Vila and Remy will be 2 cracking signings for QPR. It’s a shame our board do not share the same ambition.
13 Ibizatoon - Back by popular demand // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:36 PM
Hmm….Well we will see, but a few observations.
This is Joey Barton talking here. The same man who tweeted only a few days ago that Joey wasn’t leaving Marseille and recently that he was coming to NUFC. Let’s be honest about this, does anyone believe a word that comes out of his mouth?
Sit tight and wait and see. If he goes to QPR my personal feeling is we’re better off without him as the only thing they can offer better than us is wages and if that’s his one main priority then good luck to him.
14 Scottishmag1 // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:36 PM
Are Cabaye or Debuchy saying anything on Twatter?
15 gonz // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:37 PM
Pretty sure Barton is referring to Tony Fernandes as the magician for pulling this off. He to has a twitter account and I’m sure he still talks to Barton as he’s still a QPR player. Gutted by this news!!! Still, Ed fails to mention the other tweet that Barton posted saying he doesn’t know if he’s being wound up or he’s winding us up. That’s suspicious!! Could he be f*****g with Llambias by spreading a BS rumour??
16 Fostino // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:37 PM
harry talking about chairman getting his pant pulled down paying ridiculous wages before…guarenteed this fellow getting top wages like the rest of them
17 DanRo // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:37 PM
Until anything is official I refuse to believe anything more. January transfer window is madness.
I will hold my hands if indeed Remy signs for QPR (which looks increasingly likely), however, from a monetary point of view the 96,000 euros and get-out free relegation clause looks to tempting to resist.
You cannot blame the NUFC board for this whatsoever. This is QPR’s madness if indeed the deal goes through.
18 Beattie25 // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:37 PM
Something isn’t sitting right with me.
Apparently NUFC agreed a contract with Remy last night.
Now when that happens you sign a pre contract agreement depending on the conclusion of a medical examination.
I really believe 1 of 4 things have happened.
1. NUFC have bidded for Remy to create a smoke screen to a different target.
2. NUFC have concluded the deal already and the press are talking bullshit.
3. NUFC have completely and utterly fcuked up again in the transfer market.
4. NUFC are playing odds and manipulating the fans to make us think we are bidding for players when we have no intention to spend.
I choose to think it’s the 1st option as it is similar to the whole Maiga affair.
NUFC would never bid so openly knowing that our rivals could steal in there.
People are referencing Gervinho as a player that we lost. We pulled out of that bid due to his poor attitude. Giroud and Gameiro were never officially recognized as players that we had bid for. The only one we lost out on was De Jong, and even that was suspicious.
19 GAZ09 // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:37 PM
Latest from Pardew ‘Shola will be back for the Reading game and that will be like a massive signing for us”
20 JP...from The Rock // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:38 PM
Modric stolen at the last minute, then shouting out Ba’s contract clause and now robbing us from Remy the pacy striker we all crave!!! That ugly fcuker Redknapp has gone too far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AARRRRRRRRRGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SWEAR I FEEL LIKE NEVER WATCHING FOOTBALL AGAIN AFTER ALL THE SHIT THIS SEASON IT’s TOO MUCH!!!!
21 hotdog // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:38 PM
Looks like we are running around in the sales, like me on Xmas eve. I bet they wish they had got their targets in the summer now!!
As in any walk of life if they have offered him money way above our offer,which is likely, you can’t blame the lad. We need to accept where we are, I don’t like it but you can’t keep giving players silly money. The sooner the club turnover rules come in the better.

Don’t really know what’s going on here but I hate this whole situation! I wish we’d keep our transfer business out of the press so if it doesn’t happen we are not left disappointed!

27 colwell // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:41 PM
Who on here is not driven by money?
Both teams fighting relegation although QPR may buy their way out which could put us in deep sh-t.
We are not offering champions league football, or currently a mid-table position.
Marv chose us for the money shall we sell him? every single player out there would choose money over us, so should we not sign anyone?
28 spennymoor-mag // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:41 PM
So so disappointed. We don’t deserve this! We need a statement quickly from club!!! Hope our plan b is in sway already!! If not we r well up shite creek
((
29 Luke-A-Like // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:41 PM
Well if all he cares about is money then we’ll probably be better off without him. I’m just a bit worried that we’ve spent so much time and effort into this unsuccessful transfer that we now have very little time to actually sign the 2-3 players we all wanted…we desperately need a new CB, a striker/winger and maybe a CM or another CB…the collo situation seems to not have been dealt with yet and i fear that we could be left with just Debuchy and maybe a last minute cheap CB or striker…a few hours ago i was happy with the business Newcastle seemed to be doing but now…i’m not sure we are going to do enough…especially when we are in the position we are in

32 ck1978 // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:42 PM
If he wants to go their purely for the money then I think we’ve dodged a bullet (potentially another Ba!). I am worried though that we are going to end up getting no one else in. We can’t compete with qpr’s ridiculous wage structure. They will end up another Pompy if they go down. Sadly it looks like the days when a player would join a club for footballing reasons are gone and all that remains is mercenary players and greedy agents would sell there very souls for an extra £10-£20 grand a week before moving onto the next club. I hope Pardew and Co have got a back up plan in mind as I can’t take much more of this! What with Colo and now Ben Arfa making waves… i’ve chewed my fingers down to my knuckles tonight alone!!!
33 yorkymag // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:42 PM

I think it’s simple
He failed the medical
His heart condition is always going to be an issue in any sensible deal
Qpr are mad they don’t care and are prepared to gamble in a way that is simply bonkers.
Even if they stay in the league there model is not sustainable

szalenik from last thread
I didn’t even know QPRs ownership was that wealthy!
But we all know how cheeky Redknapp and the press are, he has experience with this type of stuff, I’m confident he was playing mindgames with that statement.
I don’t believe Remy was a smokescreen because we’ve had him on our list for 2 years now in terms of legitimate targets. I remember we eyed him at least 2 years ago.

40 rainrix // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:44 PM
Well he’s only going for money. So is this a player we really want? Plenty of other targets. I just hope this isnt another luuk de jong and we’ve spent so much time on one target we dont have the time to get another target in.
41 GAZ09 // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:44 PM
Knowing how our club is ran, i dont know why so many people on here get their hopes so worked up on possible signings, knowing that nothing is certain until you see that player holding up the black n white shirt.
42 proudtobageordie // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:45 PM

All of you saying “it’s for money”
If it was a few thousand than yes, that would be a bit low of Remy, but if it’s far more than that then obviously he’ll take the bigger paycheck. We all would.
47 doylo // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:46 PM
People don’t forget if we had of strengthened correctly in the summer we wouldn’t be in this predicament!!
48 DaveD1000 // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:47 PM
Really unusual for #nufc to go mental during the transfer window.
49 Tsunki // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:47 PM
Nah Ed would tell them to cram it, wouldnt you Ed? Ed?
If we do not get Remy it will be ok, the right result will happen whoever he signs for. Just as long as the whole thing unravels on him at QPR ha ha. btw it was euros not punds x 110,00, so that would be less but still more than he was worth imo.
Oh well, another day another target.
btw I favour beattie’s theory of double bluff, knowing ‘Arry was after him for much more lass summer, this keeps the trouble-causing clangerbag mush off our trail. We will get someone better we usually do after all!
50 moonraker // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:47 PM
He’s a money grabbing tw@t with no football ambition. Sometimes these things work out for the best; remember how Gervinho rejected us for Arsenal and turned out to be next to useless.
We don’t want players who are only interested in the money! plus I read in a French article he is a bit of a piss artist!
Move on
ps hope he has an escape clause in his contract cos he wont enjoy playing in the Championship next year!

Oh we’ll guys. This is a downer butas we’ve always said, if he wants to join the trash heap he can.
Despite this season our club still has great promise in its squad and remy has proven he is not the type of player we want with this decision.
If he wants to get back in the French squad he would have been wise to join up with Cabaye and debuchy.
54 Novocastrian66 // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:48 PM
Hooper. We’ll not sign anyone else.
55 G // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:48 PM
Well I would have liked Remy at the toon, although I always thought of him more as a winger than a striker. If QPR have put together a more attractive package (horrible mental image of Harry Redknapp now!), then fair enough, and good luck to him. Next target please.
56 wynbae // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:48 PM
The root of Newcastle’s problem is their managing director. His job is to get the deals done, to ensure we have strength and depth to compete. He’s repeatedly failed, and his tactics may cost the club, fans, and owner BIG TIME. Surely Mike Ashley must be thinking the same thing by now, assuming he’s entrusted DL in this respect?

60 JP...from The Rock // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:49 PM
If Remy is indeed a greedy fcuker and goes to QPR then we should go all out for Gameiro. Audmenwang or whatever his name is has said he ain’t moving this January so our second option is also screwing us. We desperately need pace and Remy would have give us that, that’s what we should look for in our next target. Pace makes defenders panic and make rash decisions and open up space for a pass for Cisse and co.
Ahhhhhiiii I hate and love football but I swear I am going to end up bald soon and I am only 30.
If SSN is going by Barton’s word we still have a chance though and this could all be Barton trying to cause some mischief.

Agree. We need someone in between. Llambias is too extreme on it all and has little idea about football.
Not bashing pardew but of late I am beginning to think that we need a manager from the continent that can get our talented squad playing the proper way.
We need to find e next winger.

65 CisseIsALegend // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:51 PM
I can’t see us getting a striker now. I hope I’m proved wrong but I think pardew will come out and say we tried. Once again. And we’ll also buy a shambles of a player like a centre back from the French 7th league
66 Jamesthefirst // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:51 PM
It’s not a wages issue and don’t blame the board for this one. Plain as day what has happened here:
His agent met with QPR this morning after our board refused to pay the agent a sweetener. QPR and Redknapp were more than happy to pass the agent a bung into an offshore account. So the agent told his client to sign for QPR because he can arrange a similar deal with another club when they are relegated. The AGENT held the power in this deal, not the player. Ashley hates agents (and rightly so).
That is what happened. Almost certainly.

There are unconfirmed rumors circulating that NUFC ‘moved the goalposts’.
It would fit in with my opinion that it reeks of ‘Maiga’.
If St Etienne saw that NUFC bidded cash for Remy they could easily say ‘PEA’ is available for the same price.
As much as I like Remy, I do think PEA has better potential and would make more of an instant impact.
It would tie in with a bid for his international team mate Manga.
We’ll see though. I hate the way we play, it angers me with the foolishness of the views of some, but this doesn’t bother me. IT only will if we don’t sign anyone.

Pretty sure Barton is referring to Tony Fernandes as the magician for pulling this off. He to has a twitter account and I’m sure he still talks to Barton as he’s still a QPR player. Gutted by this news!!! Still, Ed fails to mention the other tweet that Barton posted saying he doesn’t know if he’s being wound up or he’s winding us up. That’s suspicious!! Could he be f*****g with Llambias by spreading a BS rumour??
94 Papiss9 // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:00 PM
Cisse crap.. No way, he is def best as a center forward, not out on the right wing. Cisse needs better service. He’s a top notch finisher and has good movement in the box. If pardew played a little bit more exciting football instead of pleasing his favoriteplayers, maybe the results would have been diffrent.
95 myoung23 // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:00 PM
Although I’m gutted about it.. we r all just going off sky sources. As we did wen we thought we had it in the bag? If he goes to QPR then it shows what type of person he is n we DON’T want that.. Not again.. Get sum1 who wants to play football not drool over his pay check ???
96 Transfer Sage // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:01 PM
QPR’s owner isn’t even that rich. He is just paying inflated wages…70/80k to players worth obly 30/40k. In no way can the guy compete with the likes of city and Chelsea.
I wouldn’t say no to having that much money but he isn’t mega rich like abramovich…

Refresh my memory, did we actually pursue Maiga as strongly as we did with Remy?
I read somewhere that Cisse was actually our 1st choice before we signed Ba, and Remy was linked to us before, so not sure I believe it was a smokescreen.
100 Toon-Prodigy // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:03 PM
Lads,
He obviously likes what qpr have offered him.
Otherwise why would he agree to a medical?
This is money, all about money. They won’t stay up.
QPR must have money to burn. They are mad.
Says a lot for Harrys managing capabilities aswell. Slag the squad off, moan about high wages. Then get his board to offer mental amounts of money in transfer fees and wages to save his already blundering reputation.
We do not want Loic Remy now. His football should come before money the way his career is going at the minute. This shows it simply dosnt. If he fails his medical in the morning, i pray we dont take him.

I do hope you’re right. Not because I have a high opinion of Remy, it’s a case of anyone but Shola for me.

Sky sources are deliberately vague.
They say sources say we were in talks and fee agreed etc.

They are reporting medical for qpr so I imagine its true.
They only report that stuff when it’s true.

Playing with people’s emotions on here is a bad thing ..IF you are wrong about Remy signing and passing his medical this afternoon ..YOu also state him taking the number eleven shirt ..So you seem really sure ..and have stated it as fact …
Playing with the fans emotions when they are wracked with angst because of the way this season has gone is not the decent thing to do ..they will hang you if you have been spouting shite at them.
You said ..Remy passed his medical and signed for Newcastle already.. this afternoon.. that’s a precise statement not an opinion..
Would you like to repeat that statement?

Are you suggesting Maiga was a smokescreen though? because if you want the reason we didn’t sign him, the medical would be it.
I think we generally were after Remy, my next question was if anyone knows whether PEA can actually play on the wing like Remy. Otherwise I’d rather we go for Lens.

I can only assume that you are either:-

2. Are just a very optimistic person

then he said we had signed him.
now qpr signed him.
we all should know what joey’s like ffs he’s a joker you never know when he’s telling the truth and sky sports (reliable source) is only saying off bartons quotes.
the thing is if it was remy’s medical today either its been done and gone wrong or he’s being announced tomoz.
and like said if he’s gone for the money “fair enough” its ambition and wanting to play for us thats most important so lets move on fast before we lose out on someone who wants to join us.

Talk Sport interviewing Lee Riderand his understanding is that bid accepted yesterday, Remy hoping to loin us yet QPR came in yesterday and money’s talkededical tomorrow! Rider feels that’s a done deal and Toon saying nothing (‘nothing new there’ said Rider) but if Remy’s been after money, then so be it!!.
Why didn’t we fly him to Newcastle and just hijack him rather thanlet him go via London?
Maybe Llambias’ll get his ares into gear and get plan B – PDQ!
120 Oleg G // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:11 PM
Anyone here isn’t drunk or crazy?
Blaming Barton now? Or Pardew? What else can they do? The guy was there, doing his medical.
How about that he didn’t pass it? How about the club decided they are not willing to pay 10M for a player that isn’t worth it, and is asking big wages which he doesn’t deserve?
How about not going crazy as Ramy is not the only player on the market and definitely not the best player on the market.
Also, he chose the money. Why would we want him?
I think that we should focus on defenders right now.
And I am disappointed that QPR will probably get M’vila because he is a good player.

He went to play for 6 months for money, good for him. The only downside is that time is ticking, let’s see who comes in instead.
Good luck to Remy in, QPR have no chance of staying up, no club has ever had QPR’s points at this point and stayed up….EVER.

132 YankToonFan // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:14 PM
Proud, no offense, mate, but I believe Sky Sports over you.
Have no anger towards Remy. I don’t know about you lot, but wages and location are pretty much at the top of my list when it comes to choosing a job.
Lets face it, NUFC isn’t so big a club that it can laugh off the QPRs of the world during the transfer window. We have a ton of pride in our club, but we are not ManU, or Arsenal, or PSG, or City, or Liverpool, or Chelsea.
We are just not. So my advice would be to not be shocked that Remy would choose London over Newcastle or £90,000 (or so) vs £50,000 (or so). And don’t think we are much more of a lock to avoid relegation, because we are NOT.
I applaud Llambias for not offering a ridiculous amount of money to Remy. I also applaud Remy for taking the best offer.
QPR is now on my top three most-hated list, with Scumderland and City.
What really hurts is that we have to basically start over to get a striker, meaning we have wasted a week of the transfer window.
Howay the Lads!
133 89Norcal // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:14 PM

140 geordiemacc // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:15 PM
I’m not in the least bit suprised if remy has done a u turn. Weren’t we offering him £45000 a week? That’s money we could only dream of earning but in modern football terms is quite paltry. There is nothing official yet so I’m not overly concerned, whatever will be will be. I’m more concerened about getting papisse back on the goals trail. Cisse gladly took the number 9 (ba wasn’t interested) and he came on the scene all guns blazing and played every game with a smile on his face. He loves being here and that’s the sort of character we need.
141 bills-son // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:15 PM
Remy isn’t in OM’s first team and his head has apparently moved off the rails recently thats why they want to sell him. Any team, including us, signing him are hoping his motivation and form comes back to where it was when he was valued at £25M two years ago. He is a gamble and if QPR are willing to pay him daft money and his agent a big bung I dont blame us for not matching it. Having said that we better have a plan B, no excuses accepted for not signing a CF and CB in this window.

Lads I think we all need to calm down a bit. If the Remy deal has fallen through it is ONLY because he has had his head turned by the money offered by QPR and a potential pay off via any relegation release clause.
IF (and lets remember that it’s still an IF) that’s the case – then we wouldn’t want a player like that. It’s not really the boards fault for a player following the money – and if prices quoted are right – RIDICULOUS money.
Wrong player for this club. But lets wait for official confirmation before slating Pardew, Ashley, Lambias and even proud.
144 LGFUAD21 // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:16 PM
One thing is that I will not be happy if QPR stay up. Not just because of this situation but because they are a joke to football with. The money they have spent to be in their position. They are a graveyard for has beefs and then they have two. Mercenaries in hoilett and remy.
145 Jamesthefirst // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:16 PM
Debuchy came to Newcastle because he wants to play for us. As demonstrated by his work rate at the weekend. He wants to do well for us.
Remy wants us to pay him more than anyone else gets at the club and then he will think about coming. Who on earth wants a mercenary at their club? Owen was enough.
Good news: it is only Jan 14th. Plenty of time to bring in someone who WANTS to be here.
146 89Norcal // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:16 PM

154 jimmyxavi // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:21 PM
Reading the tweets from various journo’s and french papers this is what I think happened!
Remy met Toon officials in Paris yesterday and was offered a contract that I reckon would be no higher than 35k – He left his squad and was in transit (sky saying he was on the way to toon bu i think he went to paris) His agent then got onto qpr and they spoke on the phone regarding a 80k contract – QPR submitted the bid and then Remy flew to London today to negotiate with QPR! He will most likely sign a contract with them tomorrow!
I may be wrong but that is my perception – Llambias and Charnley haven’t been spotted in London today – They where in France yesterday – Maybe they stayed to follow up on some signings? Plan B maybe?
Again just my opinion! What you think?

Personally I do not hear of any named sources confirming QPR medical, nothing in the French press so just see this as lazy journalism from SSN and no doubt the tabloids….don’t think the broadsheets will run with this. Besides Torq seemed confident that Remy would pass medical without any probs…..just hope ur right fella…….
Beattie
You could be right……if a club do not like the attitude of a player all kinds of stuff appears in their medical….I thinks its common practice…..if we miss out on Remy, I hope we have progressed talks with other players a long way…..besides which I have always been of the opinion that we needed 2 ST this window….so at least I hope we land at least 1 quality ST!

To be honest I don’t like Reimy anyway, I think he looks like another Nile Ranger type as far as attitude goes.
If we sign nobody good enough to keep us up then it all falls to Ashley in the end.
The fans won’t stick around for another promotion season and the big tv deal out next year he’ll lose a fortune.
I don’t think this club is going to go anywhere until the cockney brigade is out.
170 Sir Braveheart // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:24 PM
We’ve got other targets. Apparantly Danny Graham is “on the list” but “some way down” it. Which means we have a list of strikers with maybe 3 or 4 regarded as better than Graham. As long as we get a decent striker over the line this month Im happy. They’ll have to work quick if Remys wasted a week though.
171 G // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:25 PM
Just another thought about Remy, can everybody remember a couple of years ago where loads of people were shouting about how good Connor Whickam, then of Ipswich was? And how we should pull out the stops to sign him? Turns out he wasn’t that good after all (I know recently he has improved for scumbags, but he’s still sh**e!). Anyway, turns out most of the people screaming for him hadn’t even seen him play. I think most of the people who have been screaming for Remy haven’t seen him play either. Completely different sort of player to Ba, and deffo more a winger than a striker.

Look, most footballers couldnt give a tuppence about who the club is, unless its a special club, like Man U etc. To a guy like Remy, we are just anotehr club, who will pay him less than another club, QPR. End of. Oh well, back to Ashleys model of finding injured blokes or french african kids with potential, and then finding out that half of them are either not good enough, or not good enough yet. I dont see any reason to doubt Barton – again, thats naivity by guys who dont want to believe the bad news. Lets hope Sissoko isnt tapped up by another rich club, like Fulham or Southampton.

well remy did say he wanted to wait till the end of the transfer window to see what offers he got !…so we really shouldnt be so shocked.
shame he would have been the perfect piece in the puzzle for us (just what we needed) but i really hope if he does sign for qpr he does very poor and gets relegated (just because i’m bitter he got our hopes up).
nvm a lesser quality striker it is but lets not waste any more time.

178 WokinghamR // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:27 PM
Rangers fan here!
I dont think our clubs have got any issues between one another so i come in peace!
I must admit, some of the assumptons and comments above are laughable, i agree from the outside joining NUFC would seem the far better option (even in my biased opinion!) but does anybody really know whats happening? No.
I must admit, there was one comment above about our owners not having much money, that one made me laugh, perhaps they should re google our owners names! Mittal family anyone?
Anyway, im not holding my hopes up about this, one minute he was signing for you (even the great french speaking Joey Barton said so!) and now he’s signing for us so you never know, even if he does sign for us, i doubt we’ll ever find out how much he’s on anyway!

Trying desperately to find positives: Remy has scored 1in14 this season…

Remy is a quality player
Our wage bill is scaring players away – this will mean sissokho will go to scumberland
180 Slank // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:28 PM
jimmyxavi @ 154
I don’t know what Remy is currently paid or what Newcastle offerred him but he wouldn’t get more than Colo or Cayabe, and quite rightly so.
My understanding is that the club offers a new contract once a player proves himself. I also understand that the club does not offer and fancy tax deals. It’s a straight wage.
If a higher wage turns his head even though QPR are rooted to the bottom of the league and some of the French national team play for Newcastle then good luck to him.
181 noladonna // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:28 PM

182 Munster Mag // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:28 PM
Charlie, you’re living in another world mate. Anyway, lets hope that Remy is putting a bit of pressure on our hero owner to squeeze another 10K a week or something out of him. After all, can you imagine what Ashley must do to his suppliers in the retail trade??

Spread – I do not believe its a medical issue mate! Honest and professional opinion on his heart defect.
If the news is true – then it’s purely a money orientated decision. Big pay check now for him and his agents, followed by a big pay check should they stay up, followed by a big pay check and release clause should they go down. Plain and simple and if that’s how he decided to play it then so be it.
But as I say – official confirmation will tell us sooner rather than later.

We have just lost our only goal scorer and our captain wants out. Whether true or not, tonight is another huge fiasco. “Take it or leave it” works well enough when you have an ailing sports firm over a barrel. But MA must be a bit sick of sand kicked in his face for everyone, including his own players to read about. We are half way through the window, and I’m guessing Remy was pretty near the top of deals thought to be wrapped up. There had better be a plan B, or some cheeky chuff from the FA is going to show up and INSIST they must relegate us, despite the brilliant balance sheet, because we don’t have enough POINTS.

If it don’t happen due to money then Proud may have been sound with his claims but we have been gazumped at the last minute.
Either way I agree with wage structures and we should not pay over the odds wages to players untested in EPL.
I agree a forward is needed but I would much rather see another out and out CB of quality brought in along with another LB/CB plus the young lad from Toulouse.
Only the 14th so time yet and as for how the club does it’s business is anyones guess and the reason it’s viewed to be poor is simply guess work as the board don’t release any comments at all. Some clarity would be good but not going to happen.

Lay off regular posters like Tsunki. You really do have the knack of annoying people unnecessarily. Grow up. You don’t even make your points clearly.
Shefki Kuqi is alive and well and playing for Hibernian in the SPL. He has made about 12 appearances but has yet to score (I think).
Beattie – Its option 3. Batman and Robin haven’t a clue and Robin ought to be roadkill when the batmobile fails its MOT and reverses over him.
Barton is lowlife – not an amusing scouser but pure scum.
We must have a Plan B. Two weeks to get CB and CF ‘through the door’ – no excuses.
Remy is a big gamble as he is off form, not EPL match fit and apparently rocky in his personal life. I would have taken the risk as he could be real quality.
No-one claiming ITK status can have a clue as to how Batman and Robin screw up – just rewatch the KK interview if you’re ever tempted to trust either of them to do things right by the Toon. Don’t blame Proud he tries his best but the best laid plans of mice and men gang awry
204 robertsleftfoot // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:35 PM
Dont go mental but, if you are giving £10 mills out you may as well get someone who is proven amd probably wants to move. Would anyone be happy with Darren Bent, one thing you cant argue with os he scores goals, Danny Graham may not score shed loads but he works hard, uses both feet can use his head, can hold ghe ball up. Also Grant Holt not starting every week, peter odimwinge scores amd dont play, is it just not better sense to sign someone who you know can deal with the prem?? I dont think remy will cope at least not immediately
205 DevonToon // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:35 PM
Dunno if im clutching at straws here but here is a debucy quote…
“Loic Remy on the verge of completing a move from Marseille.
“Loic has had some problems recently, but we know him: he’s a great player and goalscorer, I hope it’ll do him good to come here, and he’ll score goals and get himself back in the French national side. “
206 Beattie25 // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:36 PM
I think a lot of people seem to be slagging Remy off without any knowledge of the player.
I don’t profess to have superior knowledge but even at the lowly price of £10 million he would have been a gamble and one that I don’t believe would have had immediate results.
In my opinion the gamble would have been worth it because if he rediscovers his form he’ll be an amazing asset, however i don’t see him rediscovering his form at QPR. This smells like an agents deal rather than a players.
I wouldn’t slag him off. He’s following the money and allure of London which many footballers do.
As for Newcastle we wouldn’t be worried at all of we had a competent managerial team. I think that’s why were so angry with this outcome. Remy is just another false Dawn in which we invested hope that our owner might have changed.
Only time will tell.
207 danishmag // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:36 PM
EVERONE…
Proud has been on, and said goodnight. He still claims Remy has signed for us, and has gotten number 11, and a five and a haf year contract.
It will be official tomorrow, according to him.
Stop calling upon him, and give him till tomorrow.
If Remy is a QPR player tomorrow, i will back you all up in calling him not so many nice things.. But if Remy is a Newcastle player tomorrow, you should all apologize to him.
He did precict Debuchy and the jersey #26 the day before it was official.

To all those saying Remy is greedy or thinking purely about money are wrong. QPR are in better form than us and have a manager a million times better than ours.
If remy wanted to come to us we should have been able to get money to make him com to us. He already rejected melty candle face last week so we must have offered a sh*t low contract for him to go back there.
This club is structred badly with a wage bill attracting mid-low prem players but expectations of a top 6 finish.

I just hope Ashley is ok about losing £60 mill in tv revenue because there is something not right in the squad where we have players who are talking about jumping ship-if we go down it is only because of the policies of our leaders(11 purples only=suicide

Blame the regime if we don’t have anyone by February 1st not for Remy not coming. Hopefully we have the plan B, C and go straight in and offer the 10.5m for Aubameyang.

I’ll remind you -OM accepting Newcastles’ offer. Knowledge of this looks like damn good evidence that something was on the cards. Loads of other snippits of information -supported by prouds info. Looked good to me. -and probably many on here. Who can predict that Dirty Harry was going to re-appear at the 11th hour to try and spike the deal – not me as I don’t have a crystal ball.
As for supporting another club -how the hell do you come to that conclusion. I’ve supported Newcastle all my life.

250 Toon77 // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:52 PM
Not good news but I think we have had a lucky escape. No doubt the agents & Redknapp have done well out of this deal!
The bottom line is he is not a prolific goal scorer and I think we can bring someone better in; QPR will be relegated and we will have the last laugh.
If the club are serious about keeping us up we need 4 new players in this window, 2 strikers and 2 centre backs! Failure to bring these players in will probably end up in the club being relegated!
I do know one thing for sure, Harry will be counting his money tonight – lets hope the Inland Revenue are watching!

Yes, but we paid good money for them both. We offered good money for Remy.
I believe the club is prepared to pay good money for players but not ridiculus money nor I suspect offer extremely high wages certainly not higher than tried and tested players already at the club eg Colo and Cabaye.
Perhaps Cabaye was a magnet for the club to get Debuchy, I’m sure it helped. But clearly having three current French internationals (Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Debucy) didn’t play a major part in persuading Remy to come to us, it seems.
255 numba9 // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:53 PM
Nufc 90 we ain’t blaming Ashley for not signing Remy we blame him for selling at a much higher ratio than he buys in such a way it hurts the club even tho clearly thru these funds we can afford to build but he chooses to embarras the club n fans in very many ways. If needs outing
256 Spreadthetoon // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:54 PM

Agreed – tbf you missed the melt down earlier which was really very unpleasant…..no one knows….so I sit in judgement until something is officially confirmed.
If Remy went for the wages then he’s not that interested in his career. If he wants to salvage his career I guess he will chose us. If QPR are offering silly money for his wages then we cannot compete. If that’s his motivation then he is a journeyman and similar to Ba. These are not the players that we want long term to build a team that can compete in the future. Personally I hope Remy does sign…but if not that’s his choice and I’ll look forward to the next promising striker that Carr has identified that does want to wear the black and white!

Ffs sake people stop beating yourselves up over this remy saga. Noone knows the crack other than the player himself and the powers that be. How fickle are football fans when they turn on someone without knowing the full story? One thing I will say in defence of fat mike,is first and foremost he is a top notch businessman, both brutal and shrewd. He won’t have his pants pulled down over a deal. Knowing when to walk away from a deal is what makes tight asses like him so succesful. Perhaps (if remy is going to rangers) we pulled out for the better of the club.

261 NUFC FOR SALE // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:56 PM
Why would any professional footballer turn down 80k a week for a 45k a week contract????
Come on get serious.
Playing infront of 50’000 each week??? so what, give me the extra 35 grand please.
I think you need to wake up and smell some of the sh#te you’re shovelling if you think any pro today would turn down that sort of money.
He has no allegiance to this club, just because we have some french players doesn’t mean its going to be appealing to him.
Stop getting emotionally attached to every player we get linked with.
Just let the club get on with it and see who we get and if its nobody and we get relegated again then you know who to blame.
262 ONLINE GUY // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:56 PM
nufc90 , we are always going to loose out on top players because we cant compete with wages .
MY main point is we will stay at the level of also rans ..Now that is selfish of Ashley ..he should be looking at buyers that can take us to the next level if he really cares about this Club over his sports direct bizz.
If he puts the Newcastle fans first, and the football, he should not stand in the way of a buyer who can take us to the next level.
To do so would be selfish of him .
263 Spuggy // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:56 PM
Ignorance is bliss. Unless you read the comments on this blog.

Remy was no guarantee to be a success
There is no stonewall evidence where he is going yet
We may have other players in front of remy
He may yet come
264 Sir Braveheart // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:57 PM
Since Proud isnt here to defend himself I’ll do it on hois behalf.
Until Remy rocks up in a QPR shirt theres still every chance Proud is correct. Dont castigate him until the dust has settled.
Also maybe Remy had a medical with us, said all the right things about wanting to join, then heard from his agents that QPR offered to double what NUFC were offering and so he scarpered. Proud could have been mostly right, that he was having a medical, offered No. 11 shirt, five and ahalf year deal and Remys gone back right at the finish line. Who knows?
Reserve judgement until things are clearer tomorrow. If Remys backed out of a verbal agreement its no ones fault but Remys. Dont slate Proud without him being here to defend himself when we dont know if he’s even right or wrong.

To be honest I don’t think I can be bothered with this anymore. F Ashley, lambs arse and droopy the dog for stealing Remy.
267 santonthenewmaldini // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:58 PM
One of the main problems is that we look at the wages as the actual fee for the player as well
Could be that Remy has came back and asked for an improved contract and we have said no due to his form and medical history??
I have watched Remy a fair few times and thought 10 million would be a reasonable price for him not a bargain probably about the right amount
Maybe there is a better option for 10 Million around the corner?
Whatever happens we need 3 or 4 new players Sissoko has to be one of them and then we need defenders and another striker as well
Hopefully wake up 2moro and he is wearing the Black and White in the ground!!!
268 Harley // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:58 PM
I’m gutted like everyone that this has happened but what are we supposed to do?
Smash out wage structure for a player that is a big risk?
I’m sure he’d have worked out but the club can’t just go out and hand out 80 90 grand contracts just because some idiot owner of a tiny club is dishing them out.
The problem isn’t Ashley or pardew it’s football in general. Why are clubs allowed to offer these crazy contract when they clearly can’t self sustain them?
If remy joins qpr then so be it. It’s doesn’t mean we are doomed. There a plenty other options and I’m sure well bring someone else in.
I just cannot blame the club for this as they are totally clear about the wage structure.
We just move on.

Marseille sporting director Jose Anigo has revealed that the French side have reached agreements with Newcastle, QPR and an unnamed club.
The Magpies were believed to have already sealed a £10 million move for the 26-year-old this week, with Marseille loanee Joey Barton writing “Good luck to Loic in Newcastle” on Twitter.
However, Barton claimed on Monday evening that the Frenchman could yet join QPR, and Inigo has confirmed that competition for his signature is tight.
He told RTL: “We have an agreement with Newcastle, but also with QPR and another third club.”

We dont want a player with such agenda’s as Loic Remy at the club. I.e Motivated by money. We’re in a scrap right now. Fcuk Loic Remy!
I still have full faith in the board to get the players in we need. We all know we are in for three or four players. That will change now because Remy was one of them. He will be replaced with adequate quality im sure.
To the Pardew bashers, bite your tongues, keep Pardew out of this matter. He has nothing to do with bringing players to the club. Im sure he is as p1ssed as all us right now.
Lets see what the next few days bring. its been barn storming mad since day one and dosnt look like calming down anytime soon.

284 nico // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:06 PM
Does this remind you of all the other transfer windows. It’s got Newcastle written all over it.
It’s all falling apart. Collo leaving. Arfa wants away. Ba gone. No players coming in. Half the transfer window over.
I’m starting to think it’s all just a smoke screen.
If the transfer window ends and we have brought in no new players, we can only go down.
285 Premiership Manager // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:06 PM
Am I the only one who is glad this deal fell through?
Remy let it be known that he would wait for the highest bidder from the off.
He’s 22 struggled for goals in the last year or so and is totally unproven on the EPL. £9 M for an unproven player at that level is far too high a risk and could have kicked us right in the teeth if he failed to live up to expectations.
We need 2 CB’s if Colo goes, a striker and a midfielder to create healthy competition in the team if we are to stay up.
Mike Ashley may be many things but he isn’t a fool. We need to buy the right players for the right reasons and Sissoko, Sakho along with a proven striker would be the obvious choices if we can pick them up for around £3.5M each, and then putting £8-10 aside for a striker and another £3-4M for another CB.
That would be an investment of £20M which is what the board should have done prior to the start of the season.

nightfa11….EXACTLY
Why is it that some people think every football should jump at the chance to play at Newcastle…regardless of the financial package offered????
There is no such thing as a player who is so in love with a club they would choose it over money and the sooner people realise that is modern football the better.
and unfortunately the perception of our club has changed this season yet again.
I would hazard a guess that had we done deals in the summer players would have wanted to join us.
We’re now in a relegation battle and look like good odds to go down.
The powers that be messed up big time in the summer not bringing in the required players.
We’ve now lost all the momentum we had from last season and have to start from scratch again.

293 Taking the Papiss // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:08 PM
If you think that we won’t get remy because the club has done something wrong than you are more deluded than I thought. If we wouldn’t pay Ba that much why remy? Who do you think will score more goals in the league?
If we pay Remy 96,000 EUR a week, how much do you think that Cabaye will want when we regenotiate his contract at the end of this season? Who do you think is a more important player.
We are still in Europe, QPR are bottom, they have less quality, all of his friends currently play for NUFC and he already turned them down once. If you think this is anything other than about money then you are truly ridiculous.
I also don’t want to pay over the odds for him. I was also excited about getting him yesterday, but at the right price. I don’t want another set of overpaid players (remember viduka, owen geremi?).

Toon prodisy – you’re another delusional! If Remy signs, you;d be telling us how wonderful MA and Co are to sign the guy. But if he wants bigger money in London, you decided we dodged a bullet!! Why do you have full faith in a board who only purchased one senior player, when many fans like me were screaming for action as we were in a good positionto buy – but being shouted down by the mini accountants. lets face it, if we had really wanted Dubuch in the summer we could have got him, but we played brinkmanship ( as did the french club) and we had to put up with no attacking right back for half a season. You cant have it every way. lets just hope other rich clubs like Fulham dont want Sissoko and Co.

I’m not bothered we didn’t get Remy. I’m bothered we’ve spent half of another window chasing a shadow. Again. I’ve been hit with this “criticize Ashley when YOU’RE a billionaire” rap before. Blindly believing billionaires are automatically geniuses is a big reason this whole country is in the clarts. MA is a vulture who made his dosh preying on sickly companies. He’s not dealing with that now. He has one business model, and it’s not clear to me that he understands there’s a reckoning at the end of each season that has nothing to do with business models. Last summer, when we were fifth, and in a position to make noises about Champion’s League ambitions, was when we had the buying power. And it doesn’t take a genius to see that.

Yet another fun filled day in the life of a Toon fan, dont know about the fun though ha ha, its crazy to say the very least.
Who have we lined up, have we Aubamayang/? have we danny graham, up to speed with the prem can score goals got a good left and right foot and good in the air and holds the ball up lovely, definatly better than shola ameobi and would defo give 100per cent, scored some belters lately, and would be up for that crucial battle ahead, would not be the end of the world for me to get a really decent home grown toon supporter playing for us who can score premiership goals.
We need someone up and running straight away straight out the number 1 trap, come on danny its your time.
Ps, it could be anybody we are looking at, it might be nobody, its the usual toon transfer window but this one is differant and we need players through the door as the ones we have are not doing it at the moment.our very premiership life depends on it without doubt.

It’s not mike adhleys fault or Parsees. Qpr have got the money and they are stupid for giving remy that much of a wage. Remy waited for this type of deal that’s why he didn’t want to join us earlier cuz he’s a money grabbing so and so. We wasted our time on him but that’s no ones fault other than remy just taking advantage of us. This is when Ashley and co have got to realise its the knitty gritty part of the window and we need to sign good players quick and not waste time else we will be in the shite like the end of last transfer window and the one before that. I trust Carr to pick us an equal ability striker to remy and I trust Ashley to spend and Pardew to pursue the player but It’s a risk to trust Ashley. We’ve still yet to get a CB and CM let alone a striker
323 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:20 PM
I might just go and bury my head in a ditch till the end of the transfer window, I cant handle stuff like this.

This window was looking promising but now I am waiting to hear the inevitable “Ben Arfa will be like a new signing”. Gimme a break

just hold on a min and look back at yesterdays comments and moods will ya !!!!!!
ffs everyone happy no negative comments saying it was a great transfer window more to come and now its said that were c**p no ambition ashley this that and the other ^^
just cos barton “the joker” has spread a rumour that may or may not be true i see fans turning on the team again …i mean how fickle !
its not the toons fault even if he does not sign for us as we did great to get a player of his quality initially wanting to sign for us ! and its no one at the clubs fault if the player wants more money than we can offer.
it doesnt mean we have not tried our hardest to sign him and realised what we need.
if he doesnt sign its not pards/ashleys ect ect fault if we lose out on a striker its imo remy’s fault for leading us on to thinking he was going to join us wasteing our time in the transfer window.

So dont give up hope yet its all speculation, both teams are probably ready for a medical tomorow, and i’m pretty certain they will sort it out asap and get him signed weather its QPR or nufc.
I’m praying he chooses us cause (and i dont even believe in a god lol)
1) he is a good player
2) we wont get anyone else upfront
lets be honest QPR are going down unless they throw money around, cant blame them for trying+with the extra TV funds it will probably help them sort their bill out

Spread – yeah just read back a bit when the Joey Barton tweet was published – instant uproar and anti Ashley posts!
Can’t believe the reaction an people (like myself) who know nothing about the situation have already decided we offered him a crap contract and stuff.
It’s mad this place!
336 yorkymag // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:24 PM
The real problem when Rednap is involved is he has the agents in his pocket and He will have been kept up to date on exactly what has been going on at Newcastle
Do you honestly think the he went to france last week end and did not speak with the agents ,he did not need to speak to the oily rag when he had the organ grinder eating out of his hand
Love him or hate him,an I hate him we are out of our depth in transfer dealings when Rednap is involved
It remains to be seen who has the last laugh

338 Munster Mag // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:25 PM
Croftus, who said Barton spread the rumour?? He may have said in on Twitter, but the sports reports are not based on his words on Twitter. ashkey failed the acid test in the summer. Many of the smarter guys on this site know that, and could see it coming from mid July onwards! Do you think our “purples” are going to hand around a club like NUFC next season if they can possibly get out and play for Spurs, PSG etc? The alternative is staying with a club that hates spending money and a manager who has been very poor for a variety of reasons, all this season, playing poor football.
339 Tinman // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:25 PM
Mario Balotelli on Twitter – ‘Looks like Loic Remy has chosen QPR over Newcastle. He’ll be going for a medical soon. First thing they will be checking is his head’
340 t00ntime // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:26 PM
how come whenever theres negatvie news an extra 10/15 come online, who arent there when there is good news?
341 Billythefish // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:27 PM
if Remy doesn’t want to come here so be it, we had an opportunity in the summer to get the players we needed to challenge top 4. The club thought they knew better, the momentum was lost in the summer. We’ve had horrendous injuries and accept that, what we don’t accept is the lack of investment, that’s why we are where we are in the league. Not the injuries that Pardew keeps referring to. And I don’t buy this aggressive in the transfer window shit. Ashley has crapped in his own nest and the chickens are coming home roost.

Munster mag,
Delusional? Im a realist.
I’v only been on this blog a week. Check out my previous posts, you will see exactly who I hold accountable for this current predicament. THE BOARD.
I also have faith they will fix it this window. BUT, only because they have to.
I also wanted Remy in, now that I see him as money orientated, I no longer want him here, even if his medical fails in the morning.
Make sure you have your facts spot on before calling me names munster.
344 Munster Mag // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:27 PM
This might not be done and dusted yet. Maybe NUFC will come up with a few grand more per week, and the player will add it all up and choose us. Of course then, the numpties here will be running backwards, saying he’s not a mercenary git!
345 Krul to be Kind // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:28 PM
Only came on for a little sneaky peak at the transfer news and see this, how can anyone be angry with board/manager, there was a great translated link there from the French media from posted from achtoon, a very interesting read, and this was published before the u turn, maybe, just maybe we dodged a bullet there
By the way Cisse has been told he can leave QPR, worst case I’d take a short term punt on him, bags of pace and knows the league!
346 West Lancs Geordie // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:28 PM
Not Harry at it again – surely? or has Joey really put him straight about what’s REALLY going on at NUFC. He was offered £40K a week by us. Hell of a lot of money but not by Premiership standards for allegedly a top striker.
347 geordiemacc // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:28 PM
I’m going to sleep on this. There are 2types of blogger on here, “fantasists” people who see things through rose tinted glasses, convinced that throwing absurd sums of money at players will guarantee success and that every player aspires to play for our beloved club. And “realists” people who understand that football is now a business and things cost money, footballers play for a wage and lucrative deals are always more appealing. Realistsalso understand that rome wasn’t built in a day. Redknapp is a del boy manager offering a quick fix by spending huge amounts of other peoples money. If qpr get all their desired targets and still get relegated (every chance this could happen) they will see an exodus of over paid players,manager and possible chairman (anyone remember leeds). We don’t have financial clout but we do have stability. I don’t believe throwing mega deals at mercenary footballers will help our cause. Owen martins’ luque, all earned excessive wages and they did little to help our cause the seson we got relegated. People think our club is a laughing stock but not having your pants pulled down in the transfer market is a complete contradiction and I for one am glad we don’t get mugged off anymore. Utilise what we have instead of making excuses is the only way we will dig ourselves out of the mire.

Everyone at the club needs to be gagged about transfer talks until deals are done & dusted. We always seem to want to air our dirty linen in public & suddenly find ourselves in a bidding war.. We just want deals done like when we signed Cisse – just announced to the media that he’d signed but it’ll never happen with this club.

Joeys qpr marseille and Newcastle links are a curious thing indeed. You have to wonder.
Anyhoo onwards to the next target. Board have two weeks to prove they are serious about our EPL status. Not bother about remy, if he comes great, if not, then make way for the next target.
358 Shiremagpies // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:34 PM
well well well, this has got to have been the quickest couple of hours in my life ive read Nye on 700 posts in 2-3 hours amazing. having read them all I have come up with a couple of observations.
1. we are all gutted/let down – only because of the time frame not the calibre of player.
2. why are we all fighting with each other???? FFS come on we all have one thing in common (expect for the qpr fan that seems to have got lost Wokingham r I his name) our blood is black and white.
3. he has not failed a medical he has seen the ££££.
4. I don’t like our board as much as anybody else on here but I truly believe we have offered him a package that we as a well ran club believe his performances/ indivuality/’name’ deserves- if that is not good enough for him then as us geordies say to someone like him, he can f****** jog on.
359 Tinman // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:34 PM

Imagine this guys. Tomorrow there are reports that Remy has decided to sign for us. Although, a certain 6ft 2 African happens to interrupt the deal and sign it for himself. He then goes on to say that he loves the fans and was only messing. He is then revealed to the press as Newcastle’s new striker that they bought for £7.5million. Alan Pardew then comes out p*ssing himself in laughter and says the words. “Welcome back Demba, we’ve missed you”.

West Lancs Geordie. Newcastle have not made any statements regarding this deal. Everything was said by OM and Harry Redknapp.

383 West Lancs Geordie // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:46 PM
I agree with you Geordiemacc but who that is any good now wants to come to our beloved club? Yes MA undoubtedly saved us from being the next Leeds Utd by putting in a realistic wage structure & offloading the primadonnas but hasn’t got the wherewithall to take us to the next level. When we go down he will have sell the 7 half decent stars we have & we’ll end up with a similar squad which played at Brighton – they won’t bounce straight back. We are gonnas without 2 class CBs & a useful goalscorer. If we are so hard up why did we spend £1M on a 16 year old Swiss midfielder – answer pootential sell on value.

A realist would realise that footballers are generally quite mercenary and this geezer is just playing a game.

Joey Barton is full of it and IF this is confirmed by the club that Remy has never even been to Newcastle then its safe to say a lot of us were duped by a Mackem……aka Proudtabageordie or is it Proudtobamackem?

If you know the specific type of heart murmur I can maybe help out that way?

397 bazrazmataz // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:53 PM
It just doesn’t make sense to me Remy wouldn’t talk to QPR last weekend even then big wages wud have been offered. Why change now ? I think we have dodged a bullet here Remy has only started two games all season only scored one goal so he’s hardly in form. Also QPR and us seem the only clubs with concrete interest in him shouldn’t we be aiming higher looking at players bigger better clubs have shown interest in. if he’s not good enough for Marseilles first eleven then he’s not good enough for us.
My worry is were we realistically go from here lots of names have been mentioned but no concrete interest from the club other than rumors. We must move fast and get a bid accepted for someone else this week and get a good buzz back.
I think it will take a lot more than remy to save QPR too I doubt he will hit the ground running.
398 Dearka // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:53 PM
if we have lose Remy to QPR fine by me just buy Danny Graham a move onto CD and CM before the widow closes
399 West Lancs Geordie // Jan 14, 2013 at 10:54 PM
376 come on man we have made it known we were interested in the player longer before the summer window. It was the same with Maiga, Gervinho & others too mant to list. Our board seems incapable of closing out a deal. Same as team unable to close out a game when they are in front.
P.s. I am a realist not a pessimist so here’s the gaunlet, Mike Ashley, prove me wrong over the next fortnight & I’ll be delighted

i dont know what everyone expects we dont challenge for league titles,we are’nt champs league regulars how do we(the board) expect top players to come and play for shit wages(compared to mediocre teams) i think u get what u pay for, yes we got lucky with cabaye but all we offer is a massive loyal support but thats nothing ashley has brought to the club, hes got no intention of pushing us forward just lining his already deep pockets with our hard earned cash on his cheap shit. all this talk we cant compete with this club and that has everyone forgot he’s a billionaire ffs no lads hes just a greedy cnut who fleeces the fcuk out of us coz he knows we love our club put ur faith in him bollocks hes only after 1 thing!!!!!!
409 Novocastrian66 // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:01 PM
Well we can go on all night, and some of you probably will, about the respective reasons for Remy choosing to sign for QPR. Ultimately the club have failed, yet again to bring our No 1 target.
If Cisse gets an injury were done for. I do not blame Pardew or the players for our current demise. It is simply down to the clubs inability to improve the squad last summer. Debuchy signing was a step in the right direction but too little too late I’m afraid.
I hope they prove me wrong in the next 17 days, however as I said last week we needed players in for the oncoming games as they will define our season.
410 Shiremagpies // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:03 PM

agreed with the age restriction, ed should create some sort of competency test as part of the sign up process. 2 simple outcomes pass= GEORDIE fail= MACKEM. fail no username. and at least that way we will all have a civilised discussion between us proper fans and those that fail… well they just arnt welcome. on the subject of the board. im gona risk a tongue lashing here and go out and say that I truly think they will be as disappointed as we all are, which coupled with the evident motivation DL and LC have shown over the last week might just spur them on to push even harder with our other targets. suggestions/reasons to the contrary

I suppose signing either Charlie Austin or Danny Graham wouldn’t be such a bad thing they are both English (in fact Graham is a Geordie isn’t he) At least they have both proved they can score in the Championship which may useful next season but £8M+ for Austin? Wages wouldn’t be much though. Centre back favourite seems to be Tomkins but not mine. Must keep Simmo & Santon as cover if nothing else.
414 89Norcal // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:06 PM
Those of you who keep referring back to Remy snubbing QPR:
It was Redknapp who said that, NOT Remy. His agents were in contact with Harry this whole time and it was just mindgames from the bastard.

If Remy doesn’t wanna come so be it.
If someone offers me double my wages for the job I do,I’d resign first thing in the mornin with gladness.
Fair play to him if he gets a big pay day,anyone else would.
Donno who else were lookin at but we’d need to get someone in quick.
Harry has done really well,his record is way better than AP over the last 5 games.
They could catch us n bring us into te mix,there’s plenty of points to play for but we need goals and we didn’t look like we had a clue in attack the last day out

Loic Remy to Danny Graham. Someone must be smoking the wacky stuff. We only have Cisse up front who has been far from prolific this season. We should have signed a replacement for Ba as soon as he left instead of fannying around

Munster,
Just look at my previous posts from the past week. It will tell you all you need to know about the perspective I have. And the way I think.
I havn’t got the time to argue with someone who dosn’t even know who there talking to. You have singled me out for no good reason to be delusional, with absolutely no idea of my thoughts?
Apparantly im going to love Remy signing if it was so in the morning?
Couldn’t be further from the truth. Stated numerous times in this thread I do not want him here. Now that it’s came out that he is solely money orientated. I never knew he was until this story started making ground! Im not psychic!
This convo is over. Talk about wasting time, are you drunk?
420 Sav // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:09 PM
Remy move was not without risk of buying another temperamental player with an unreliable injury record.
Put the Remy money down for Ince and lets move on.
421 Spreadthetoon // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:10 PM
What I really dislike….is the fact that fans were going crazy and it appears that Remy never even EVER came anywhere NUFC.
I feel SICK!
422 Munster Mag // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:12 PM
I’d like Danny Graham. an honest, decent Geordie who would burst his arse to play for his home club. As for Remy, if we have dodged a bullet and plenty of fans think he’s overrated and underperforming etc , then if they are right, why were we busting a gut to get him? You see, this is what me laugh about the guys who talk up MA so much – they forget the highly public wild goose chases ( eg Gervinho ) and the last minute scramble for overrated crap like Mariappa and Ruiz. The owners failed the acid test of ambition in the summer, and that said a lot to me. Moreover, they are not the clever lot that some people think – in fact they waste their time chasing plenty of shit players. But lets not let the facts get in the way of handing guys out titles like “neggers” because they arent happy with the Hitlers running NUFC. They’re such a clever bunch, those boys at the top!!

Latest on Remy:
Newcastle and QPR met the asking price. Remy / his agent spoke to Newcastle this morning. And is going to London to speak to QPR tomorrow. He has not made any decision on which club to join until he has met with QPR.
This is all according to OM’s President.
Could still be a Newcastle player this week. Don’t forget he chose to come and see us first.
427 Macas // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:16 PM
Austin or Graham are not the kind of players we need, we already have Cisse, we need someone who can play further wide with some pace or skill. Obviously we need a centre back, but for me a pacey wide player has to be a priority, as when Ben Arfa is injured we have nobody who can do a decent job in that postion.
428 noladonna // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:16 PM

432 santonthenewmaldini // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:18 PM
Just hope if we do not get Remy in that it does not have a bad impact with regards to Saturday’s game as the fans need to give the team heavy backing against Reading
Should be bouncing as its Debuchy’s home debut but worried it will be subdued with lots of groaning and moaning at every nervous pass if Remy is not over the line
Charlie Austin would be a good player to sign as he is a goal scorer and is miles better back up than Shola and Ranger!!!
Also Danny Graham would be a good signing if he was cheap enough get them 2 in as back ups
Could do this :
Graham 4.5 million
Austin 7 million
Mbiwa 5 million
Sissoko 3 million
So for under 20 million we could have strength in depth and some players with a bit of fight about them ??
433 jmr271186 // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:19 PM
Everyone must of heard this a million times but I really fucking hate that ugly Andrew Lloyd webber look a like inside out faced baggy eyed twat!! Redknapp is a shit manager he can only do one thing and that is spend, and shaft us. I would of loved to see remy in the black and white, but he must value money more than his career so f him. If he wants to play at something I can only describe as a shanty style football ground then let him. Small club with a sugar daddy owner that has deep pockets. He owns a shit team a shit airline and a shit f1 team, I hope the prick goes bust but before he does He can buy remy a house next to demba judas ba. Anyway we are okay we have got Papiss who will be back in the goals soon if we get behind him every week.

442 Newcastle for alltid // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:24 PM
I think a lot of you are over-reacting when it comes to us losing a player to a bottom-placed club.
QPR have got the money to outspend the majority of the PL. At least around 60-70% of it. Aston Villa, Everton, Fulham etc would all lose out to QPR in a money race. Even clubs like Arsenal I believe would think twice before offering what is in reality a struggling player silly wages.
It all boils down to QPR being able to outspend most of the other clubs, and being desperate enough to do it. They are after all rock-bottom with 14 points. They will do everything they can, take every chance they can in January to stay in the league.
443 Rake // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:24 PM
Remy was shocking in the last game according to a handful of people who watched him on the blog not really fussed if the money is invested!
444 West Lancs Geordie // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:27 PM
Yes SAV good call Ince would also give something different & he can score goals. He plays just up the road from me & my brother raves about him week in week out. Any move would spark Man U & L’pool into action but we did OK with Tony Green & Mikey Burns from Blackpool (along time ago)

Well i used so many expletives in my other comments, they probably decided not post them… iv been working an 11hr shift today, and didnt get to see any sky updates, all that was going through my head was “Remi lovely one-two with Cisse, and GOAL”.. omg, im gutted, following the toon for 25yrs, and loads of afiliations with the toon.. but this is a new low for me and im not sure if i can get past it.. Some of u dont seem to grasp how big this is and the ramafacations of it.. We are a laughing stock at the moment, ok. A player like Remi or Ba or who ever only get at best 10 great years, so of course their going to want to go where the money is and where a club is going to pay big wages, its about imrpoving your personal situation and then making the best of things when you get there. Who in their right mind will sign for us after this fiasco?? I bet we loose Cabaye before this window shuts.. and down we go. Is there no Arab out there that can save us from this nightmare!!!
448 Spreadthetoon // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:29 PM
The main thing that annoys me is (1) we spent a lot of time on this (2) he snubbed my club….didn’t even bother to meet the staff, players, stadium, facilities etc etc.
Him, ProudtobaGeordie & Joey Barton have been stringing us all along……I feel like a right idiot……I bet our French contingent aren’t that happy with him……why call your fellow countryman and ask about the club if you never had any intention of coming to see what we’re all about. I f’ing hate journeymen like that and I’m glad he hasn’t come to SJP cos’ I wouldn’t want him any where near my club if that he’s approach……let him tack the money and join Toillett on their career paths………….there’s better players out there anyway!

Wow bit of an over reaction on here tonight!
So we’ve had a bid accepted
Then QPR had a bid accepted
Then another club
He’s spoken to us
Now he’s speaking to QPR
Then i’d imagine he’ll speak to the other club
Where exactly does that mean he’s having a medical and signing for QPR?
Just sounds like he’s listening to all available offers he’s not a toon fan so why would he sign without listening to other clubs offers??
452 West Lancs Geordie // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:34 PM
MA will want to sell before he buys or it’s just panic loan deals. Look round the premiership to see who is not getting a regular game at present. If we havn’t got enough in the tank to beat Reading then we should really worry especially with Ason Villa next Away then ChelsKi at home then Wigan Away. Fasten your seat belts
453 dalton7675 // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:35 PM
Just read on the BBC that he was suppost to turn up last night for contract talks but never shown up. I think QPR had already hijacked the deal from us.
We still have a few options left in my opinion.
Andy caroll-10M
Darren bent-10M
Adebayor-Loan
Guidetti-Loan with a veiw to buying.
And im not his biggest fan but i believe Mike ashley has shown intent in saying he will sign 10 new players some in January and the rest in summer and for the first time ever i believe him, I think hes tasted sucess last season and wants more, but for all you haters look at it this way were a finacially stable debt free club working hard to meet the Fifa finacial rule and when that comes around im sure we will be happy with the way the club has been run. He has also managed to get some fantastic players in on long contracts for next to nothing and despite having a weak squad we have an AMAZING starting 11 who can compete with any team in the world! When we strenthen and we will our goal should be to stay up and then next year start again.
KEEP THE FAITH WE WILL STRENGHEN!

I think QPR had a fee agreed first, harry went over first and tried to get in before us. Remy wouldn’t speak to him.
Then we had a fee agreed, And he was due for talks. Apparantly he has never showed and headed straight for QPR. Pictures on sky sports supports this. He has now agreed a medical in the morning going from latest reports. Question is, why agree to the medical if you were travelling to St James for talks the same day or if you were going to explore other avenues?
I’d love all this to be bollox and that he isnt solely money orientated and that he is coming here for talks afterwards. But it dosn’t look good does it

The Remy debacle just further demonstrates the inability of Llambias and other club officials to sign the players the club needs. True Remy is not the best player ever or anything but I am seriously worried now that we could end up with no one. Not signing Remy does not mean we will not sign a new striker of course, but it does make it less likely.
469 Jamesthefirst // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:46 PM
Cabaye is going nowhere. Truly loves the Toon and his best mate is here now. He, like the rest of us, just wants to see the club show some ambition in the transfer market.
Debuchy was an excellent signing.
But the club needs a signing to lift the fans and dressing room. Remy was never that signing. Hopefully the board surprise us. Only guarantee is from other bids is we will never bid more than £12 million for anyone.
As for a striker, pretty confident AC is coming here in the summer. Around £8-10 million. He is desperate to come back.
Like many have said on here our priority should be an outstanding CB. We replace Williamson, we stop losing. Simple.
470 Zero // Jan 14, 2013 at 11:47 PM
We should make a move for Guidetti, to tide us over till summer, might as well us Remys money to shore up our defense and buy some serious high impact defenders, if we stop leaking goals we wont need to score as many to win matches

The bleeding hearts on here ! The players we’re trying to sign these days cant even remember the mid-90s Keegan era. They’re too young. And they wouldnt know what a Fairs Cup was if it fell on their heeds! Of course they are only interested in the money. Its human nature and all this talk of mercenary ‘greed’ just shows how far off the pace we are in understanding the modern professional. They are not f*****g Geordies ! Why should they care about us. We’ve never been truly succesful in my lifetime (I’m 40), let alone theirs. We’re not ‘famous’ to them. The only chance we have of signing top French players is because we’ve developed a few off the back of one decent season and helped them become more established internationals (Cabaye, Ben Arfa). The bright lights of London and double the wages we’d offer would turn any head. Lets take the Geordie blinkers off for a while. Its only when you visit that you realise the magnitude of our great club. And Remy – I honestly dont know how good he is, but his stats dont sing out that we should be desolate that we havent got him. For the money, I’d rather have signed a Jordan Rhodes even – British and banging them in for Blackburn now. I’d rather bring Carroll back. We’re in a dogfight. Lets have someone who might care and who could hit the Wintry ground running (I realise Carroll may be ineligible). F me, I’d even have Leon Best back for a situation like this ! And please Mr Ashley, break your business model this once and get Lescott on loan i-f*****g-mmediately….

@478 I think the conventional wisdom is that he was a great player.
However he has has some physical and mental problems of late. This has affected his performances on the field in terms of appearances and quality of appearances.
Clearly he has issues and there was an element of risk in bringing him in.

How would we feel if Remy said ‘I’ve been offered 80k at QPR. What can you offer to impress me?’
TBH, if Newcastle have made a reasonable offer, I’m happy they won’t be drawn into an auction. Unlike Ba, this lad never was a Newcastle player.
As for ‘Arry’s powers of persuasion, its like Mrs. Merton’s question ‘ What is it about millionaire Paul Daniels that first attracted you?’
Marseille have been honourable but you also have to wonder why they are so happy to accept 8 million for a France International and their top scorer for 2 seasons? That says something. Even under Carr’s watch, we’ve dodged a couple of bullets in Maiga, Gamiero etc.

I need to have a word with his Bumchum Mr Tuff as he seems to back him all the way on this. Check how well he knows him.. If he’s a Mackem he needs to be Banished from here.

495 Williamsonsuks // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:17 AM
If I was Pardew I’d resign in the morning. That pair of tits couldn’t run a bath never mind a football team.
Pardew has made a few tactical mistakes this season, but is not to blame for laurel and hardies incompetence. Yet he’ll be the 1 in front of the press tomorrow taking all the flack and tweedle dee and tweedle dumb wont give 2 shits. Complete scapegoat. Pards i wouldn’t blame you if you packed your bags!
496 GAZ09 // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:22 AM
im surprised how many people do back proudtobe, i love reading this blog but there is so much shit that gets made up and whats with the ITK’s they always get found out to be complete windup merchants. i do feel for those fans on here that get sucked in by some people pretending to know stuff.
497 Sav // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:23 AM
Lets hope this turns out to be another one. And the good news is, because we got about our business early, there should still be time to redress the striker issue.
……And a word of sympathy for Pards: Whatever his own shortcomings may be, whatever he should have done or not done about where we are now, there’s not another manager had to contend with the injuries, loss of a striker like Ba, missing out at the 11th hour on his replacement, Colo’s family troubles and now Ben Arfa apparently turning his coat around. and the journos and bookies sharpening their knives.
I hope he doesn’t get any more grief on here than is truly deserved.
498 ToonDownSouth // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:25 AM

Agree 100%, I have nothing to add to that!
Pardew will be hung out to dry by those two nuggets come the end of the window, just like he has been for the past four!

It upsets me to see people preying on the desperation of fans for news and information, just to give their own ego a boost. Pretty pathetic really, but like you say – it happens every single window.

502 NUFC STEVE // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:37 AM
Think everyone (as much as it kills me) has to concede that with the owner and management + manager (wat foreigner has heard of pardew) we are NOT a big club. We will not compete to get any player even if they’re our first choice. If this was (man u/city, Chelsea, l pool spuds) Remy wud have his squad number by now. Aside from the meager wages we offered the club obviously didn’t show a great plan or ambition for the future to entice Remy and quite frankly we shouldn’t expect any better in the future!!
503 toon1707 // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:38 AM

504 GAZ09 // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:39 AM

No way will we go down, i do think we will still get a couple more players in and hopefully the big one will be the much needed quality CB, as for qpr i really can see them going down, a team full of overaged players and money grabbing mercenaries, that sure is a recipe for relegation.

Don’t panic. The deal is complete as he passed his medical this afternoon. He will be revealed tomorrow. 5 and a half year deal and he has been allocated the No 11.
506 GAZ09 // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:44 AM

As far as i know, no medical took place and Remy never even can close to anyway in the Northeast, all we had was a bid accepted, ITK’s made all the shit of 5 year contracts and shirt numbers up.

508 Toonacious T // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:46 AM
As some of you know, I have never been a fan of either MA’s regime or Pardew. Having said that I am far from impressed by how Remy conducts himself and I would not make him our highest paid player as our dressing room atmosphere seems fragile enough right now. Having said that we have just over two weeks to repair some of the damage done in the summer and I still think CB is a more pressing defeciencey in our squad. So much harder to get quality at value for money prices in january as the clubs who have these quality players want to retain them until the end of the season to secure placings in their league table and then sell them in the summer unless the buying club are willing to pay over the odds in january because they arein desperate need of the player. This being the case, it makes OM’s cut price on Remy curious and reports on his attitude and form don’t seem to warrant offering
him 70k per week. No amount of excuse will wash with fans if a quality CB and striker are not brought in this window.
excuses will wash with us fans this windowvthough

not a big club?? dont kid urself…average third highest attendance of the prem league, a head of city, chel, pool, etc… we’re a money making machine for the owner..
510 Toon-Prodigy // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:50 AM
To be totally honest, people should always keep an open mind on the information that is circulating. This is the internet. Only the ppl who are really in the know have the inside info.
If proud to be turns out to be wrong. The people who believed him are also accountable for their actions aswell. Its gullible.
Me personally,
I look for my own info and do my own digging and make my own mind up. I don’t really look into what other ppl say they know. Its a dangerous game. A game thats not worth playing.
And to be totally totally honest,
The people who are keep going on about it are just as much as annoying. Give it a rest man.
Lets talk football, targets, not sh1t. The people trying to make someone look like a plank on the net are being just as daft!
511 Kyo // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:50 AM
We dodged a bullet. You’ve never seen him play so you’ll think we missed out on a top player but when you see him drag his arse on the pitch for QPR you’ll be coming back to me saying “you were right!”.
Our problem still remains though, we need good bodies in. 2 weeks to go hopefully we can get them in.
512 p // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:53 AM
What you on about, everything on the internet is true, did I mention I was an Italian model/Adonis?
513 TurkishFan101 // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:56 AM
I don’t believe anything at all untill I see it with my eyes. SkySportsNews was reporting that Remy was having medical at Newcastle and that he was pictured to be up in the training ground, this is not what I am saying but what SkySportsNews claimed. The president say nothing is final but the only fee that was agreed with was with us and that was reported to be £8million. Remy is more likely to go for us if he has the right brain intact. It was claimed Remy denied to even speak to Dog face tax evader about a possible transfer speculation.
Now, it seems its Remy’s agents which have actually met up with Dog Face in London. So Remy has not spoken to him just yet but has been informed about it by his agent. So. his agents will go for the better money deal so have asked him to visit the ground and see how it go’es as hes mind may change. But, Loic Remy has indeed spoken to Cabaye and Debuchy about a move to here, and Debuchy today spoke to french radio specifying that he spoke to Remy and has told him about how we have a massive fan base, a very good culture all around and our relationship link up with the Le France.
What this means is, SkySportsNews does not know nothing and most of their information seems to come from the twitter mess or translation from french websites. They clearly don’t know nothing, with Cisse it was obvious as they had one of their reporters up north east to capture Cisse coming to the training ground.
So please, every fan on here don’t get mad or start blaming Remy untill it is official cause its more likely the possible reason could be that QPR showed more amibition to sign him due to promising better wages which he has not got a clue of what package they will offer him untill he meets up with the QPR officials.
The targets for our strikers can be that Remy was just a smokescreen as many fans have already pointed out wit the Maiga situation last January when Cisse appeared to be in our ground suddenly. Our target list wont be up on the internet and certainly we wont be buying players that reached their peak over 28+ unless they are Ibrahimovic. Hope for the best lads and hopefully we get that Sissokho lad as well. Another 2 CB’s, one Young as a future prospect another to come in straight such as Mbiwa or Sakho etc. It seems more likely that Coloccini is leaving unfortunately but yet again I will not agree to it before I see it with my own eyes. To be honest, a LW would be more essential at the moment and if we got a future prospect striker to come off the bench and make a impact.
514 toon1707 // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:58 AM
See I was under the impression he left the team hotel yesterday and traveled to the uk for his medical today so if it didn’t happen what has our club and remy been doing in the last 24 hours since our bid was excepted
515 toontiotenufc // Jan 15, 2013 at 12:59 AM
hi guys this is my first post although I follow the blog constantly and just wanted to firstly say well done to Ed for such a great job! on the remy saga I think if he signs he signs and if not then he is not interested and wouldn’t wear the shirt with passion if we could persuade him! I do think we will get another
striker, I know MA and co are muppets but I do think we will get a couple of signings across the line…….. very optimistic I know!

Well, it’s annoying more than anything that we’ve spent all this time negotiating then in comes ‘arry wiv dee owld wink and a smyow to possibly tie up a quick deal. Even if we did offer 80k (no chance obviously) QPR would just add more to it. We can’t compete with that.
What worries me most is that we need at least two players in before Saturday. We MUST get 3 points, MUST. Remy would have been the pace and wing/forward play we needed. We need someone in if not him, and fast!
See how it unfolds tomorrow ‘ey.
518 GAZ09 // Jan 15, 2013 at 1:02 AM
The way this club is ran nowadays nobody knows who the real targets are and it seems when we do know its because they have been spotted at the training ground.

527 p // Jan 15, 2013 at 1:23 AM
@524 yes, I think/hope so
In my opinion this window is a bit different, they know the plight we are in. In the past they stuck to their guns, no compromise, only what they considered to be good deals for NUFC were done.
They still not will be held to ransom but I think they will work harder to get players in and be a tad more flexible in the process
528 Unbelievable Tekkers // Jan 15, 2013 at 1:24 AM
What ever happens this transfer has been a farce. So many reports from different sources claiming different things. What I don’t get is debuchys comments to the french radio station earlier today saying that its great to see remy at newcastle. If remy spoke to cabaye on sunday night surely they would have known if he didn’t show up like the bbc are reporting and if so debuchy wouldn’t have said what he said. None of this makes any sense. I’ve given up hope though if he signs then great if not then lets move on.

wat you think of the mackems new signing?
541 Unbelievable Tekkers // Jan 15, 2013 at 2:01 AM
Google Translate manxpie?
“He called Yohan (Cabaye), with whom I am still staying. He phoned last night. He asked the new club, know how it goes in Newcastle. ‘
“It’s a very good news to see Loïc Rémy at Newcastle. I hope to see him tomorrow at training camp. Loic has had some problems recently, but we know him: he’s a great player and goalscorer.
“I hope it’ll do him good to come here, and he’ll score goals and get himself back in the French national side. Rémy is a very good striker, it’s great for the team and Newcastle.”
Pretty gutted about the whole situation tbh dont think I have been this angry since we sold AC mainly because of the effort and how close we came. As long as we get somebody else in of high quality he’ll be forgotten in no time.
As for Sunderland’s signings I haven’t seen either of them so cant comment tbh.

the funny thing is, nothing has changed.
Marseille said (according to lesport/sky) that remy was in england to talk to the clubs intrested. According to lesport, he didnt come here for a medical but to choose who he wanted to go to. We still dont know who he has chosen and weather he has even talked to us yet. Lesport only say he is more likely to go to QPR, only the english papers have said its 100% sure and he is having a medical.
Until we have quotes from AP saying what happend, we wont be able to know. Hopefully he can explain it at a press confrence next to remy.
Yes i’m trying to stay hopefull+ look for holes in the whole story…. its not going well :S i was really excited about remy

I wonder if Proudtobeageordie is Joey Barton. He’s obviously been messing around with us fans by saying Remy is staying at Marseille one day, then the next it was all He’s going to Newcastle, don’t worry I told him what to expect and the very next day he breaks the news that Remy is going to QPR saying it must’ve been Llambias’ fault. Hmmmmmm!!!
This whole transfer smells of something fishy.

551 Carl92 // Jan 15, 2013 at 3:35 AM
Id bring in PEA in and also get Sulejmani on the cheap. Kevin Gamiero certainly isnt a bad option either. That would solve our attacking problems. Then I still think Douglas would be a solid signing to sure up the defence. However I would like to see a CB with Prem experience come in. I think everyone is of the same opinion that they would like to see Moussa Sissokho some in as well. Thoughts?
552 Toon-Prodigy // Jan 15, 2013 at 3:36 AM
Norcal,
One things for certain. Comments he made today were not a coincidence.
No player comes out with anything like that during what we would pretty much call a (crisis)
Very disappointed in his professionalism here mind.
Hoping he is just putting his own pressure on the board here.
I think there has been a lot of miffed players after last summer. Got to remember we finished fifth done very well and the board let everyone down. The players more than the fans. Explains all the under performing we have witnessed. Especially with Cabaye. Note: Debuchy in early this window.
553 petey // Jan 15, 2013 at 3:38 AM
credit to Ashley’s mob, Remy is not worth 70k a week….so no point in offering more. How he turns out is a gamble anyway, i have a mate from france who reckons Remy is a bit injury prone and a trouble maker. He is a lyon fan so maybe biased.
554 89Norcal // Jan 15, 2013 at 3:49 AM
Toon Prodigy
But I’m not sure if that is true or it was mis-translated, someone was mentioning likewise earlier.
Yeah that would be sort of low for Hatem to just compound our problems, but at this point I honestly wouldn’t care. This is exactly what I warned about after the summer transfer window was over; No ambition = our best players looking elsewhere. Board may be doing too little too late.
555 phoonck // Jan 15, 2013 at 3:58 AM
seriously, no one knows whats happening in behind-the-scenes regarding the transfer of Loic Remy. All that is being confirmed, by the Marseilles officials, are, Marseilles had accepted both Newcastle and QPR’s offer of around £8m(and probably a 3rd unnamed club too). so since he had 2 offers on the table, it could have been that he went to Newcastle to listen to our offer and plans, and moving on to QPR to learn about their offers and plans, right?
but the media, after knowing he’d headed to Newcastle, jumped to the conclusions that he’ll be joining Newcastle and having his medical, but then when he went to QPR, media straight away linked this action to him snubbing Newcastle and accepting QPR’s offer instead!
so i’m not not jumping on to the bandwagon yet, not yet.. though it doesn’t look good, but nothing is firm until you see him holding a jersey and go public about completing his move to ??? hopefully Newcastle!
FoxSport just reported that Loic Remy is weighing his options now after hearing both offers: http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/premierleague/story/marseille-loic-remy-still-deciding-between-queens-park-rangers-newcastle-011413?m_n=true
HWTL
keep the faith
556 Toon-Prodigy // Jan 15, 2013 at 4:03 AM
Norcal,
Aye, there is always that possibility, too little too late.
You can’t finish fifth, be very lucky injury wise, and expect it all over again with european games aswell the following season. Has to be said, its a bit of a p1ss take really. No first team player would of been impressed with this. Aswell as Pardew. I mean why put the effort in again? No incentive.
Ba, well we always knew his intentions. Colo, no static back four, giving in after 6 months. Now Ben arfa making waves, which points to no ambition. Cabaye off form before his injury. Looked disillusioned as to does Jonas.
I feel also this is a mess created by an absolute mental gamble in the summer. If we had of invested then, this would of been a hell of a lot different this season.
557 geordiejamie89 // Jan 15, 2013 at 4:10 AM
I sometimes wonder if Newcastle went down again mike ashley would sell up and it would be better for Newcastle in the long run. Or maybe he should see that Newcastle could do two things. Sign turd players that nobody else wants if anyone and go down. Or sign players that other clubs want and put them on the back foot. The competition off the pitch is just as important. Example. Man Utd and man city both want van persie. Man Utd get him and he will probably hand them the title. Other potential example, Newcastle hijack qpr deals with Remy and mvia, this is enough not only for Newcastle to finish well clear of bottom three, but keep qpr bottom, Newcastle partly responsible having took away their two best targets.

563 gonufc (up and Hatem) // Jan 15, 2013 at 4:44 AM
arghh….
Suppose we’ll have to wait and see what happens when we get to february.
HOWEVER, if this is yet another transfer window where the board seem to have purposely fuelled a great deal of speculation over several players and put in several bids but ‘alas, they didn’t quite work out’ then that would be unnacceptable.
It would have happened yet again with all these ‘almost’ deals and then one extremely cheap backup option not forgetting of course our wonderful “like a new signing”‘s S.Taylor and HBA etc.
If this happens yet again (!!) then that is no coincidence. They are either utterly incompetent or purposefully let the transfers fail in order to spend no money.
Also, on Colo, I’ll say it again. Colo’s dad has just become part of the new regime at San Lorenzo and has repeatedly said that he wants Fabricio to play for them. Then all of these stories about family and personal problems and that he needs to go back.
Rubbish. These stories are circulating in order to make the ridiculous happen and let our club captain leave for nothing simply because the club that wants him can’t afford to pay him in any way, shape or form.
Why on earth would we simply give away one of our most important players?? If they can’t afford to pay the transfer fee requested then he should be going nowhere.
564 tweaked // Jan 15, 2013 at 4:46 AM

Remy has no allegiance to either club
There are just 5 points between the 2 clubs at the bottom of the league, we are 2 points from relegation zone
They are likely to offer him double what we are offering, plus a relegation release clause no doubt and probably a minimum relase fee too(speculation I know but fairly realistic in the current day and age)
All said and done, why are we blaming him so much?
If any of us had a chance to move to a french team, 1 is bottom of the league but offering double what the team 2 points above the relegation zone was offering, would you really take the option of less money??
Too many people are blinded on here, thinking everyone should have a loyalty towards us or see us as the bigger club. To someone from abroad with no link to the club, we are simply a club 5 points from the bottom of the league right now, face reality.

Some times i am jealous of people who don’t like footie. My colleague just to came to my seat totally carefree, while i am in turmoil.
Remyyyyyyyyyyyy noooooooooooo

If its true then I’ll be pretty gutted but remy’s form isn’t exactly prolific at the minute 1 in 14 is it I think??
Wasn’t Arry lamb chops saying the other week that QPR have to many players on high wages on a club that can only attract 18,000 at home games, now he’s off to sign Remy n M’villa which will add at least £120,000 a week to the wage bill…
How many clubs does this pr!ck want to destroy??

really only will believe it once his holding up a shirt be it either QPR or NUFC. i’m sure pards will have eyes on other players
strangely I’ve been having this feeling that pards is using or creating our “downfall” to persuade MA & DL so that they can spend money, a dangerous but genius move if played well.
who knows we might even see them bring in 4-5 players
well here’s hoping

I agree. Mentally we weren’t prepared for such a poor run after last season. Rested on our laurels in terms of reinforcing the team, some bad luck and tactics and here we are.
It could only be a matter of time before our players become disillusioned with how our club is run and scatter off.

Wait for a shirt photo before getting excited helps. Just another drama.
Meh

I don’t think QPR can do anything unless he is fail medical at NUFC.
If QPR does go all out trying to hijack Remy and he decided to go for QPR, then both of them Remy and QPR don’t have any ethics.

I agree with JDUBAI,
he is no debuchy

If the wage figures being thrown around here are true, I don’t blame Remy for going to QPR. At the very least it’ll be a stepping stone for him to reach a bigger club, since he will be the primary goal source for them and their best player.
But he could still be thinking it over as we speak. I guess we’ll find out in a few hours.

hoilett must be kicking his arse for going to QPR, he hasn’t featured more than 4 games… would take him from them then at least he’ll get to play

It’s normal to go for better offers.
It’s a bit unethical if you agreed to one company and doing final formality to finalize it, then change your mind to go for better offer.
It’s different story if you haven’t agreed to anyone and looking to go for the best offer available.

as they say santon, if you want loyalty get a dog

QPR are a team of mercenaries and now they will have a 26 year old striker completely past it on 100,000 a week. Sound familiar? at least Owen had pedigree not like this mediocre playboy.
If anyone thinks we should match the wages and get another Owen on our hands for 5 years they need their heads checked.
Danny Graham would be an OK back up to Cisse if we can’t find a bigger player or Scott Sinclair on loan to see us through to the end of the season

Theres only 1 word for the board at nufc and that is PATHETIC
Once again we look a WEE club and its all down to Ashley& co
We need to vote with our voices at the next game as they are not respecting our club and the fans who pay there wages….
