QPR Reported To Be Back In For Loic Remy

5:50 pm, Monday, January 14th, 2013 by Ed Harrison · 460 Comments

The London Evening Standard is reporting that QPR have not given up yet on Loic Remy – even though a fee has been agreed between Newcastle and QPR for the striker, and the news this morning was that Remy was undergoing a medical in Newcastle.

Loic Remy – QPR still in the hunt?

But the news today is that QPR are still hoping to do a deal with QPR, and of course it will depend on how much Newcastle are offering Loic Remy, who had refused to even meet with QPR manager Harry Redknapp when he traveled to France eight days ago.

We don’t know if this is a piece of mischief served up by the London press, but the news today was that Remy is in a medical at Newcastle – so if that’s true he must have agreed to the terms offered to him by Newcastle United.

And the news in the local papers this morning was that Newcastle hope to unveil Loic tomorrow as a Newcastle player, but of course QPR will be desperate to get some good players into their squad in January, and they will offer silly money in wages to get their men.

The Evening Standard is reporting that Redknapp had a £22M offer for Remy turned down by Marseilles 12 months, and if Remy were to enter into talks with QPR, his agents could look at the possibility of inserting a clause into his contract, that would allow him to leave were the London club relegated – much like Demba Ba had in his contract at West Ham two years ago.

We just have to hope Newcastle unveil the player tomorrow, and the fact we have top  French players like Yohan Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Sylvain Marveaux, Mathieu Debuchy and Gabby Obertan at the club,  will make it very easy for Loic to settle on Tyneside.

But David Craig of Sky Sports is also reporting that Remy will now speak to QPR – but we don’t know how true this story is – and surely Newcastle will not let Remy slip through their grip – so late in the game.

Finally,  the Evening Standard is still reporting that Newcastle are strong favorites to get the deal done, and we think that’s exactly what will happen.

Here’s hoping.

    We may dodge a bullet if Remy goes to QPR but I don’t he will. Debuchy sounded pretty confident in French press today.

  • 2 DanRo // Jan 14, 2013 at 5:54 PM

    Francois Piraux :Rémy doesn’t want to sign for QPR. It’s NUFC or Marseille. Good project&friends at NUFC with Cabaye & Debuchy.

    Ignore this report. Remy refused to even meet QPR previously.

  • 3 nicktoon // Jan 14, 2013 at 5:55 PM

    who is Francois Piraux?

    Im not on twitter and I see you all quote him. Is he a reporter? Is he reliable?

  • 4 Dannyo // Jan 14, 2013 at 5:56 PM

    @DanRo
    Remy refused to meet, it’s Remys representatives going to this meeting tho.

  • 5 toon1707 // Jan 14, 2013 at 5:56 PM

    I wish Harry redknapp would f@ck off I can not stand the bloke remy said no so now he will offer him stupid money and probably hold up the deal stopping him playing for us on Saturday I will be over the moon when Harry is a championship manager next season

  • 6 Bambams // Jan 14, 2013 at 5:57 PM

    Money talks…… I just hope this fella knows how huge a club we are and seriously the best fans in the world !

    Debuchy just signing has got to be a big help…..

    Hope most of the rumours are right and this is just paper talk…

    Piraux is a sports reporter. Usually reliable. Pretty spot on with the whole Debuchy affair and anything on Ligue 1.

  • 9 Ketsbaia9 // Jan 14, 2013 at 5:59 PM

    That’s fine, QPR can do a deal with themselves, but we’ve done a deal with Marseille, so Loic will be signing for us.

  • 10 MosesNUFC // Jan 14, 2013 at 5:59 PM

    toon 1707, couldn’t agree with you more, if he’s already rejected you, then why try again? Now he’s gonna be offered like 150k a week, i hope it doesn’t tempt him. LOIC PLEASE JOIN NEWCASTLE. QPR have got like 2 french players where’s we’ve got loads.

  • 11 DanRo // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:02 PM

    I’ll be shocked if Remy meets Redknapp. The story goes that Redknapp wanted him whilst at Spurs, they met several times and Remy was interested. Now he is at QPR, Remy didn’t want to entertain Redknapp due to QPR’s position status – feeling embarrassed.

  • 12 Anth // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:02 PM

    QPR wont get remy! nufc have already agreed with om and he even said him self that he only wants to play for nufc if he was to move away!

  • 13 Slank // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:02 PM

    If the (French) herd is going left to right you have to be very brave or very foolish to go right to left.

    I would imagine that Remy has probably spoken to some of our French players to get the low down on the club and the area. I can’t think of who he would speak to at QPR. The big attraction for QPR would be London and possibly more money but the downside risk would be relegation.

    His choice.

  • 14 Graeme // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:03 PM

    Why would he go to a side almost certain to be relegated? He cant be short of a few quid, so money cant be his major motivation.

  • 15 Ketsbaia9 // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:04 PM

    I reckon Moussa Sissoko will either sign for us or Marseille. There’s no chance that he’ll go to Sunderland. Don’t forget, we need to bring in two strikers to replace Ba and 2 defenders if Coloccini leaves. If Tiote goes, we need to bring in Sissoko and M’Vila.

  • 16 Slank // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:04 PM

    Anth @ 12

    It’s not down to the clubs. It’s down to the player himself and/or possibly his agent(s).

  • 17 Spreadthetoon // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:04 PM

    On the basis that we can survive this season, and providing AP is given the backing in this window and next and there are no major departures….then one can say that AP has got his own team! He will mould them and hopefully a settled and consistent teams which SJP is crying out for…….it could bring the success that HBA, Cabaye and many others in the team crave.
    I’m still unsure about AP…..but if he can get marquee players in….then there must be something about him that he and NUFC are doing that is right…..remember we will never compete on wages with many other clubs. We do not want journeymen….such as Ba, Owen etc

    Besides….those people slating HBA for what has been reported must remember that the press takes comments completely out of context and twist them massively. Imagine you played for Arsenal or Chelsea and you supported NUFC as a yound lad…..what would you say?! Think about it….besides HBA has a long contract, is committed to the Toon, loves the Toon etc etc.
    My challenge for AP is after the window closes….and providing we sign good players….he will have no excuses not to get the results to turn our season around!

    Ccalm down , ccalm down.

    ”Newcastle Debuchy “Remy called Cabaye”

    While Loïc Rémy seems closer to Newcastle, Mathieu Debuchy confirmed that Marseille striker had made ??inquiries about his future club. “He called Yohan (Cabaye), where I still am. He phoned last night. He asked the new club, know how it goes in Newcastle, “confirmed the former side Lille on RMC. ”

  • 35 Williamsonsuks // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:15 PM

    Yeah i was -8 :)

  • 36 ToonDarnSarf // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:15 PM

    Why would a top striker (who apparently was subject to a rejected £22M bid from Spurs last Summer) want to join QPR??? Their attendance is less that 18,000 in the Premier League (their stadium capacity is about 18,500) and they’re odds on to get relegated. Only reason he’d want that is if he wants a free transfer at the end of the season due to a release clause (thanks for that Ba!)

    It’s an £8M gamble from us though. He could be £20M striker brilliant, or he could be Patrick Kluivert for us…

  • 37 Spreadthetoon // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:16 PM

    What’s the latest……?

  • 38 BigKirky // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:16 PM

    As reported, if Remy has rang Cabaye, then I can’t see that being a turn off can you? It was said that he talks to everyone when he’s back in France, about how good Newcastle is. If he’s been asked advice from Remy about Newcastle then I can’t see anything other than a glowing report being given. Why are we so low this year?… Lots of best players injured. It’s an easy excuse. Players fit we finished 5th. It’s def a selling point. Plus we have Debuchy and will hopefully get more.

  • 39 Toon-Prodigy // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:17 PM

    He’s got it bang in for the Toon Arry like haha.

    You have to admire his persistance i agree.

    Well, is he going to go for more money? Or hook up with the on-going growin french contingent at the Toon?

  • 40 DanRo // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:17 PM

    Big kirky – don’t think there is any doubt about it.
    Debuchy was quoted as saying Remy rang Cabaye.

  • 41 nick_9 // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:19 PM

    Spreadthetoon – I’ve made no secrets of the fact i feel even the players who have played should have done better, I will persist we should be at least ten points better off if they had played to near their potential.

    My point on offering players something to stay here with was based on our club size and wage structure and also the calibre of player we have. We cannot match the big boys yet to our credit we are signing many players from champions league clubs. Our recent run is very annoying and also the fact clubs like Swansea, Bradford and villa have progressed as far in the cup as they have. I would like to think with these players we have Pardew can get them playing a nice brand of effective football once they’re all fit and well, he has no choice really.

    I’ve heard the news on redknapp, quite frankly the man annoys me. We were competing for every player under the sun with spurs at one point and ever since he told the world about Ba’s release clause he has been on thin ice

    Must agree.

    He (just like any normal person) would probably have spoken to one or more of our French players and I very much doubt he would have been disapointed with their replies.

    Lets hope that AP can turn the corner eh? I would be a lot lot happier with 6 more pts but hey ho we are where we are…..lets hope we have a productive window and that AP can turn things round FAST!
    As for ‘arry…….I wonder how clued up he is on players…….always seems to jump on the back end of other clubs deals……. As for Remy he’s had a hard time at Marseille both on and off the field…..he head is not perhaps in the right place. NUFC have a good contingency of French players to make him feel welcome, we have pedigree of getting the best out of players and bringing the best out of them…such as HBA…and we have a very very good profile in France. I think all of these things will help Remy to settle in quickly and enable him to regain the very best for his career + the Geordie public backing the team and the players game in game out is always a top seller!

  • 52 Slank // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:25 PM

    NUFC. COM:

    More positively though, French football news sites were talking of a successful Newcastle medical for Remy and agreement on a four and a half year contract.

    Recent SJP arrival Mathieu Debuchy meanwhile has told French radio station RMC Sport that Remy rang Yohan Cabaye on Sunday evening for his views on the club and Newcastle supporters.

    It’s also reported by French journalists that Debuchy said on the same station that:

    “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.”

    I think MA / DL/ AP have realised the mistakes….I do believe and hope and prey that they real do make some BIG investments this window. All the noises are correct so I will wait in judgement till the end of the window….I think HBA will recognise this and stick with us if he can see the direction we are going…..its been frustrating for everyone at the club this season and us fans but I believe a GOOD window could be the catalyst for much better things from us!

    That ought to strengthen us enough for now – as long as we don’t get any more injuries – still leaves us short on forward power and in defence without dropping a few notches quality wise.

    We still will need a good 3rd striker and a good 3rd CB and quality LB cover – but I reckon these are icing not the cake

    proud – spot on – good that you don’t get drawn on sources.

    It was historically reported the Cabaye gave Remy a good report on the Toon some time ago.
    Also a lot of the French press are reporting that the phone call to Cabaye was just a “hows it going” type of call -(my words.) Not worried at all.

Its business empire now these days, and if somebody outbid or matched your bid , you’d be pissed , so you try to make them pay over the odds amount of money to satisfy your emotions.

    Proud! – you are bagging those points tomorrow if these predictions come true ha ha. What was the news about Alderie…Alderwei… Toby again? Is he a Greggs man? Hope so those caramel doughnuts dont eat themselves…oh…wait…

    On HBA, I know I know I said a bit of a conspiracy blurb on him being ‘injured’ but in reality its never been a secret he loves psg and if you read the transcripts of his interviews there are a lot of very large ‘IF’s in there. He seems committed and maybe he does fire a warning shot about the possibility of NUFC not showing ambition but why not? More players should be as ambitious as him imo.

    Besides which PSG do not need him at all. Thats kind of a biggie right there lol.

    Makowski. sorry no better. It`s normal with transfers that there will be more than one team competing for a player. QPR making a pitch now is irrelevant to what we pay, fee is already agreed between the clubs.

    Remy was on €250k per week…..we’re no where near that kinda money…..and Remy knows it……what he knows is NUFC could be on the verge of turning bad habits into good ones…i.e. in the next 5 yrs I can see us geeting some silver!

    Proud
    Yanga would be great, versatile, strong and can sit anywhere in the back four……not sure about his temperament, but guess Torq would have some clue about that….?

  • 96 two steps forward one step back // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:51 PM

    Minor stushie about what Benny said in translation and he definitely was NOT disloyal to the Toon, accepted the challenge and confirmed he had a good relationship with the silver fox. NO argument as to who was there – it was a reported Q&A interview.

    Have to say Bills-son has got much less biassed towards the caped crusader recently and his posts much more well argued and readable as a result. Cheers Bills !!

    Can’t say the same for Catchy and his gang.

    Yeah, although we need to strengthen at Left back, it’s not a priority. We definitely need a 3rd striker, we can’t have Ameobi coming on every game.

    Sissoko is a must signing, we don’t have any big players in the centre of the park.

  • 108 nick_9 // Jan 14, 2013 at 6:57 PM

    Spread + nap toon – Remy is reportedly on 250k euros a month which is about 210k here I believe on current exchange rates. We can certainly offer him similar to what Ba was on in 45-50k a week but he will come away with more after tax over here than in France. Doesn’t leave much for renegotiation or room for an increase though

    Just seen the Barton tweets, worrying to say the least. Just hope we have backup plans on place as we usually take the p155 to make a signing but cannot afford too. If he signs for qpr it is solely for the money and I’ll not value him as a player in the slightest. Wouldn’t be surprised if they have offered him 80k a week and really turned his head, if our offers were similar I think he would choose us any day f the week.

    proud – evening -hows things. There’s not much recent info on Mbiwa -and nothing I can locate about him in talks. Loads of historic stuff associating all these players with primarily -Arsenal and us -numerous occasions last year. There was a recent article in Le10Sport -4 days ago to the effect that Newcastle were interested in him.
    With him being the Montpellier captain and central defender -he would be ideal for us (in view of possible Collo problems).
    If Mbiwa signs I hope he could give a good report to Younes Belhanda — now he’s some player.

    Obviously all about the money this now.

    I think Remy would of wanted a relegation clause with both us and QPR. If QPR have offered him alot more money then its a no brainer for him really.

    Gutting. But I only want people here who want to play for NUFC.

    Very disappointed in Ben Arfa today. His timing is very unprofessional with his comments. There is a time and place and NOW deffo wasn’t it.

    We have spent 2 wks on this Remy deal. We need to move on quick if what sky sports news is true

  • 148 wingspan // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:09 PM

  • 149 Transfer Sage // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:09 PM

  • 152 Special K // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:10 PM

    Will everyone give it a bloody rest over Ashley and Llambias, a lack of ambition, they agreed to fork out £8m for Remy. Our top wage earner is Coloccini on £60,000 so I can’t imagine they offered Remy more than £40,000 a week. If anyone here thinks we should put any new arrival on QPR mad money for a 5 year deal, then they are short sighted fools.

    Anyone remember Xisco? We can’t shift him because he’s delighted picking up his £50,000 a week Dennis Bloody Wise gave him!

    If he’s decided to move to QPR then it’s purely for the money, we don’t want these types at the club. The overpaid, money grabbing mercenaries got us relegated in 2009 or have we forgotten?

    Come on, calm down! If he moves to QPR it’s a career ender, we’ll move on to another target and the world will continue turning.

    It’s a question asked to Ben arfa, he did no harm answering honestly.

    He said he wanted to save Newcastle from relegation and if, a big if, psg want him he would think about it.

    Why would psg want him? They but better players. HBA is class but he doesn’t consistently get goals or assists.

    It’s a non starter for me.

  • 165 alf // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:14 PM

    Harry was always going to sign Remy. He almost had him last season for 25 million so it stands to reason when he hears he can get him for 8 million he’ll bend over backwards to sign him. We’ll get Carlton Cole who’s being offered on a free who Pardew tried to sign last season and it’ll be the same old crap we tried but we couldn’t get them in.

    Until I see the announcement from QPR that Remy has signed for them, I’m not going to let myself get spun up about this.

    IF, and only IF, he does sign for QPR, then that just shows that he’s in it for the money and isn’t the ideal player for us. I’m holding judgement until a formal announcement either way.

    IRT Arsenal jumping in on Sissokho…again, waiting for confirmation.

    All in all, I think SSN is doing a good job of making good TV. Unfortunately it’s making us all nervous wrecks.

    Why is everyone angry that Remy would take more money?

    You all would do the same if in his shoes. He has no prior allegiance to NUFC. Of course you take the better deal.

    Harry Redknapp os the enemy here, not Rely.

  • 193 yorkymag // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:21 PM

    If there was no truth in this then surely a statement should be ready from Newcastle.
    If the rummor is true then I don’t think you can blame Ashley and co on this one ,the world has gone mad.
    Looks like Rednap is going to do a Portsmouth on qpr
    Why do intelligent businessmen get taken in by him

  • 194 Toon-Prodigy // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:21 PM

    Spread the Toon & Transfer.

    Sorry lads,

    Im just highly disappointed in his comments.

    Now was not the time to put himself in the shop window. Because regardless of what anyone thinks, that is what he has done. Just in a respectful way. Im not daft, i now know his intentions. And i know he is contemplating leaving. Its the timing more than anything, im very disappointed in him. Our own players are making the wrong noises and causing more unnecessary work to be done at a very important time. They need to shut it and get on with what they are paid to do in a professional manner. Thats my opinion.

    More pressure on the people upstairs to get it right this window. They have to show ambition now.

    he can either come to us for a relegation battle or go to QPR for a relegation battle just alot more money? People act like we win trophies or at least compete but we don’t. Not one person on here would reject the chance of doubling your money for the same job.

    Move on NUFC.

  • 203 alf // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:26 PM

    Ask yourself why he went to London for the medical instead of coming to Newcastle – because he’s not coming. All the players are starting to wake up to Pardew that’s why they’re all heading for the exits with the likes of Santon, Collocini and Ben Arfa wanting a move. And who can blame Remy for wanting more money anyone with a brain goes for the money, who wants to play for a club that pays peanuts.

  • 204 JackButler // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:26 PM

    If Remy joins us then he’s come here for the right reasons and not for the money and if he joins QPR he’s obviously not the type of player we want at the club.

    So we either get a player who’s right for us or we dodge a bullet

  • 205 Transfer Sage // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:26 PM

    Toon prodigy

    He has only put himself in the window for one club.

    Players like Ben arfa are always in the window as they do special things.

    The way I see it is I don’t mind if players want to leave, even if they say they want to move to a bigger club if given the chance, I don’t care.

    It’s good a player wants to better himself and have ambition, we aren’t a top club going for trophies so people have better options.

    As long as he gives 100% and continues to respect the players and staff whilst he is here I have no problem.

    How do you think we got benny in the first place? He moved here until they let him join on loan.

  • 206 Novocastrian66 // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:26 PM

    Tad- u seem to forget the amount of verbal crap pardew has spouted in the past. He’s always mouthing off about something, always says too much!! All I’m saying is that if he 100% knows something then he’s got a right to say it. If he’s building up the hopes of the fans and they get let down then that’s a different matter. Maybe u like the bs but I don’t! Remember the cb we were trying to sign in jan and in summer. Where’s he at now? Thats right We didn’t get one. so unless he was signing on the dotted line pardew should have kept his trap shut. Once bitten…..

  • 208 toon1707 // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:27 PM

    Colwell – we aren’t Barca no but we’re NUFC. We’ve got a large French contingent here, 50,000 fans regardless of not winning a worthwhile trophy in my lifetime and are still in Europe. We are attractive but it really depends on the difference in deals. The only reason he would go there is because its London and for money. If they have offered him. 20k more a week then it’s going to turn his head for sure. Whether he comes or not I just hope we have plans for either outcome.

  • 214 breno95 // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:30 PM

    Reading the responses to the Remy transfer leads me to ask just one question.
    That is, if Proud is claiming that both a medical and terms have been passed and agreed and Remy will wear the number 11 then why has the club not confirmed the deal before now as that course of action would prevent reports of this kind being published?

  • 215 wingspan // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:30 PM

  • 217 alf // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:31 PM

    Why are you all on Redknapp’s case? He’s just doing what a good manager should do and sign the best players he can for his club unlike Pardew who didn’t even know we were going to sign Remy to start with. That’s how ill informed the oaf is, just like he didn’t know we were signing Cisse last season. At the end of the day the buck stops with Pardew, he’s in a job thats too big for him and in which he has no say.

  • 218 jimiley // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:31 PM

    Remy is not for us. A greedy mercenary but who can blame him? Come to NUFC for half the wages at QPR? Only a mug would do that. He also knows that the Toon will win nowt and he will have a clause in his contract at Qpr whereby he will be released if they get relegated. Its a no brainer to go there. What have we got to offer him? Half the wages and Pardew and Ashley. I rest my case.

    Like i said its the timing. Morales at rock bottom with the players and fans. We have lost our top scorer, our captain wants to leave. We are 2 points off relegation. We have injury and squad depth problems. We are trying to bring new talent into the club working hard.

    He should know better.

    Just because he has mentioned PSG dosn’t make any difference mate, he is basically saying he is open to options. Just like Ba did ;)

    The writings on the wall. Don’t doubt it.

Won’t be surprised if journos are right and proud is wrong. As someone just said nufc official would be announcing it now if it was all done.

  • 236 p // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:37 PM

    I don’t agree with people who say why would he not go for more money.

    At the end of the day, Newcastle – although not in a good spot right now – is a much better career move than QPR.

    What is the point of joining a club when there is a very high probability that they will get relegated for then to have to find a new club and new deal in 6 months time.

    Newcastle are very unlikely to be relegated (though I accept it is possible) and a 5 year deal at a decent wage is a good insurance policy compared to a QPR relegation scenario.

    But as I say, if he is stupid enough to go for a short term wage for a team that is unlikely to go anywhere then good luck to him.

  • 237 spennymoor-mag // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:37 PM

    I fear if this remy deal falls through we won’t get anybody. It seems the same old shit every transfer window. On the other hand if remy wants to play under Harry redknapp and under 20,000 a week let him get on with it! Who else would join us at the minute? Not a lot

    As you say it’s a no brainer. Aside from being london based, havin a relgation clause and earning twice the money, whatever you think of him, Harry is an adventurous ”footballing” manager who players seem to like and Pardew is a negative, defensive , dour, hoof ball merchant who seems to be falling out with people on a weekly basis.

    I.E. Sensationalism and speculation……….cannot believe the negativity on here tonight! Unbelievable.

    I’ll be gutted if Remy does not sign but I believe that he has / or will because NUFC have a good track record in France and with French players. Besides we have great fans though some of you guys are over reacting tonight to something that does not appear to have any REAL legs to it. If Remy has chosen somewhere else then he obviously wasn’t right for NUFC, personally I like to think he has……I’ll wait in judgement for official news and not speculation before slating a player…..

  • 250 alf // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:42 PM

    face it losers, Harry’s had Pardew’s trousers down and give him a royal shafting. Showed him how a proper manager works in the transfer market. That’s why Tottenham are at the top half of the league and we are at the bottom half and QPR will turn it around while Pardew ponces about looking like the gormless oaf he is in front of the cameras waiting for his script off Llambias.

    It all boils down to money or football. Which one is he more interested in.

    We will be gutted if the hijack attempt by churchill comes off, its all about money as we all know, but lets wait and see, i suppose if the quoted 100/110/120 k per week is for real he will get his head turned, its massive money to say the least.

    Just hope there is a back up in place, BUT THAT MAN REDKNAPP HAS PULLED ONE TOO MANY STROKES FOR ME CONCERNING THE TOON.

  • 281 Newcastle for alltid // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:52 PM

    Well, I must admit that if Remy doesn’t sign I’ll be dissapointed. When a fee was agreed yesterday I said that I wouldn’t get carried away until I saw him in a black & white kit. It would be a big signing, that’s for sure, bigger than what you would expect from Newcastle nowadays. The reality is that our wage structure doesn’t allow us to compete, even with small clubs like QPR, that’s built around money and no pride whatsoever. If Remy came in and was offered 120k a week it would cause tension among other players.

    All in all it will probably be a hard pill to swallow for us, the fans, if he goes to QPR – and the dressing room won’t be impressed. But if you see past his name and consider his present state, he’s not the player people thought he would be. He’s not 120k a week material, which is what people say QPR offer him. QPR is built around that – ridiculously overpaid players not doing their job. It’s not our problem. It’s not like we’re missing out on a new Messi if we do miss out. At the moment I think Aubameyang of St. Etienne and lots of other strikers are better options for us, especially if it’s goals we want.

  • 284 alf // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:52 PM

    tequilamag – you’ve obviously missed your ritalin today. Who picked the league manager of the year award up last season? Pardew so it stands to reason knucklenut that he’s the man to blame for the current cockup as he went into this season knowing that he needed a bigger squad with the European games so thats where the buck stops you little puke.

  • 285 JTOONJ // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:53 PM

  • 286 Novocastrian66 // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:53 PM

    If the deal is done Newcastle would announce it. The deal isn’t done. We’ve missed the boat IMO. Players are interested in joining the club but we keep getting gazzumped. We want champagne at half a lager prices. Doesn’t happen.

  • 287 Unbelievable Tekkers // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:53 PM

    This whole thing could just be his agents trying to get more out of nufc, i find it strange that he wouldn’t even give redknapp the time of day last week and now he is prepared to play for them. QPR would have offered high wages straight from the start.

  • 288 pizzicatochan // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:53 PM

    alf, please go support Manure or Man City if you really think it’s a problem that we would never win anything because we here were all lack of ambition. I think it is an unfair statement to us. We have ambition, but we can’t fight with Monopolies.

    How many of us were still supporting NUFC when they were in the Championship waiting for a comeback? If you do, be ready to sail through the waves and don’t look back.

    Lads – Alf is billy/bob/ted/eric/planb the infamous mackem troll whose best lines revolve around telling people their patter is rubbish. Look at the reasoning involved here – blaming Pardew for transfer negotiations!

    Well I am rooting for Proud I really dont think this Remy/QPR thing has any basis he didnt want to talk to the bottom of the table outfit and go through all that, lots of positives re his countrymen recommending NUFC, and not being swayed by QPR’s seemingly better offer. I saw somewhere his agents were doing QPR the courtesy of seeing them but were doubtful of being swayed. Local French journos with decent reps saying deal with us concluded… this is because its sky, its ‘Arry and its us, a delicious mixture for the media.

    And the bottom line is, if QPR turn his head they are welcome, he will be right up their street, a money grabbing merc who wont do a days work like the rest of that squad.

    Anyway wasnt sac-jowls just saying he wont let the owners have their drawers yanked down in the transfer market again?

  • 291 Charlie in the Gallowgate // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:54 PM

We don’t d regular transfers! We toss them up, we try taking liberties and move goal posts. why does no one remember this? And then when some of us complain that it is the same old problem and that pardew doesn’t help by spouting stuff thy never happens then were all bitching and slagging pardew off.

  • 303 tequilamag // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:56 PM

    Alf, you really are an unpleasent stupid little man. Remy has not signed for anyone yet. Do you think Pardew makes the final decision as to how much we pay in wages ? If remy goes to QPR for stupid money that can hardly be blamed on Pardew.

    alf
    Not sure whether your a Toon fan as you seem to spend most of your time insulting fellow bloggers and slating AP etc. Look, we’re having a tough season and everyone’s dead frustrated and I do not think many are happy with AP. But you need to understand that AP does not own the club, he does not even determine the wages or terms of players…that’s down to LC & DL. Furthermore we do not know what the hell is happening with Remy but seeing as it all appears to be SPIN with no NAMED SOURCES….I suspect that this is wild speculation……until then it may be wise to sit in judgement……
    Of course we cannot compete with QPR and their wages…..so if Remy chooses the later then I think he’s more interested in money than getting the best from his career. Even ‘arry said they were a bunch of mercenaries….look at Hoilett….he’s been crap there and has probably damaged his career. Just be patient….I’ll be just as disappointed as you if this falls through…but try and keep it together eh :)

  • 312 89Norcal // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:59 PM

    Yeah, by the title I thought it was new news, my mistake.

    alf, maybe you should go up to Newcastle and show AP how it’s done, I’m sure you tied up Sissoko, Remy, and Tomkins in FIFA 13 already didnt you.

  • 313 breno95 // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:59 PM

    I have just viewed approx 3-4 QPR blogs/forums like this one and there is nothing being posted that Remy has agreed to go to QPR. If this source of SSN is correct I am sure there would be some sort of conversation being posted by QPR fans as they will or must be as passionate about their club as we are of ours.
    This report is all over our blogs so I’m pretty sure the QPR sites would be posting the same thing which from what I have seen there appears to be nothing at all.

  • 314 Slank // Jan 14, 2013 at 7:59 PM

    If Remy goes to QPR it can only be because he has been offerred a better financial deal.

    If so, the additional wage is worth the risk of relegation and the lesser chances of getting back into the French national team.

    If that is his attitude, we are better without him.

    tequilamag – how do you know how much wages NUFC can afford are you their accountant? You come on here making these sweeping statements. If Remy does choose a team which gets crowds of 18,000 over a team that gets 52,000 what does that say about the team that gets 52,000? Lack of ambition from Pardew who’s only used to relegation battles and winning nothing.

  • 333 alf // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:04 PM

    89Norcal – no i leave Fifa to the virtual fans and my kids. People seem to be missing the point about Pardew, Llambias and Ashley didn’t walk up and pick the manager of the year award up he was happy to take the plaudits and must equally take the blame for this season. Keegan and Bobby Robson wouldn’t pout up with this bullshit but then again they were winners. Not whiners.

  • 334 tequilamag // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:05 PM

    Alf I have no inside info on Newcastle at all. What I do Know is that Pardew does not own the club and nor is he in a position to tell the owner what he should pay in wages. For you to suggest that if Remy does not come it is because Pardew will not pay him enough is beyond stupid.

  • 335 naptoon // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:05 PM

  • 336 Toon1978 // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:05 PM

    I am not a big fan of Llambias but if QPR are offering mega bucks then the lad will got to QPR. This is only a natural thing any of us would do. H.Redknapp is not a good manager but that is only my opinion. He throws money around like there is no tomorrow. Like other’s have said, if Remy is off to QPR it is for the money and that is all. We should move on.

    yep definitely the famed mackem troll back again. Pops up when he smells controversy but hs to coincide with a recent mackem win so he feels bullish enough to come on here. Therefore doesnt appear too often, but still irritating.

    On Remy, I dont recall the club making a lot of hoo-ha about signing him, tbf. In fact didnt Pardew play it down saying we were looking at a few other targets? If he goes to the hoops, we will have the satisfaction of making them pay over the odds for their man. And we still dont know if he’s great do we? He seems to look the part but a season at QPR hasnt done many players there a lot of favours has it ha ha.

OR .. Oh look, my agents have managed to get QPR to cough up stupid money so perhaps I should go for the dosh, have Shaun Derry in midfield, and stuff resurrecting my form and career. I can leave if they’re relegated – not sure who will then want me and be willing to pay my (now) outrageous wages… but what the hell.
    We’ll find out eventually. Meanwhile, I would be far happier if we could get two top class CBs – I’d be quite happy to see a 4-3-2-1 with HBA and Sylvain playing behind Papiss if we have a real solid defence.

Now unless he knows that for definite then why say it. Rednapp can come out and say that as Fernandes will pay millions on fees and wages. We don’t do that so don’t build the fans hopes up! It’s simple. That’s why we blame pardew. He is the voice of the club and we have to listen to what he spouts. We would blame the board if they came out and made false promises wouldnt we? pardew should t say stuff unless he’s 100% accurate its true.

    HAHA gotta love Rednapp, last week he said there are far to many players at QPR on high wages, and that a team who play in a 20,000 capacity stadium could not sustain that. Then they go and spend £70k a week on Remy and M’Villa will prob be on £50k a week

    Yes, not the end of the world. Loic was potentially a good signing but he was not a messiah and who knows what impact he will or would have made.

    It’s just one target.

  • 374 Toon-Prodigy // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:14 PM

    This lad dosn’t have any sort of ambition.

    We do not want players like this at NUFC.

    Onwards and upwards lads.

    Have to say, after witnessing this lads decision i don’t feel too bad for not getting him. Seems a bit of a silly decision and has to be said a bit of a mercenary.

    I still have faith in our board to get the players in what we need. This one is for the best i feel now.

    It’s not the board’s job to communicate with the press…The manager handles that. And Pardew was obviously told he would get more support from the board in the market.

    It became evident, when we bought Debuchy immediately and were set to spend 8m on Remy. I’m sure DL and MA’s eyes were as big as saucers when they heard about QPRs offer. Everyone knows those two are the source of much of our struggles. The coaching staff and scouts do their job, the board rarely does theirs.

  • 377 szalenik // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:15 PM

Not a chance. you and I both know what they are like. I’m saying how pardew says things can get the fans hopes up. Like going for remy, him coming to the club and something mysterious happening that means he now wants to go to a club he wouldn’t touch with a 10ft pole last week. Ring any bells? It’s happened too many times before. Pardew will be saying “we tried so hard to get him over the line but it wasn’t to be” and we are all supposed to just accept that? we’ll be lucky to be left with cisse and ameobi in feb at this rate

    He is getting some slagging on here but what if he does choose us? Will he be great again?
    It’s not looking good but as like all footballers at this level it’s all the money and as jerry maguire said – “show me the money”. They are all the same – fact!

  • 415 szalenik // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:24 PM

    Im just annoyed that knowing Newcastle we have wasted all effort on him.

    If we want to show ambition we should go all out for Lens. He is a complete player that can play anywhere across a front three. Skilled enough to cut in from either flank, excellent delivery and a good finish.

    Failing that I still fancy Kevin Gameiro.

    Ketsbaia9 – Kluivert didn’t care by the time he joined us. He still had the talent but not the motivation.

    When a 26 year old goes wayward in his life, it’s a bit of a concern as to his motivation for the future. There are loads of footballers who have gone downhill rapidly at that age sadly.

    So I’m just hoping if we do sign him, that he wants to sort himself out. On the other hand, rumours that he’s going to sign for QPR definitely don’t prove that…so if he does go to QPR, then he’s just a mercenary on the way down and we’re better off without him!

    Fair enough if Pardew is mediocre at press dealings, many managers are.

    I’m not suggesting DL and MA gave him any statements to read out verbatim. I’m saying he was obviously compelled to share that info after discussing funds with the board (which was a public story we remember) and requesting more money.

    I’m sure MA was prepared to spend, but I doubt he was prepared for a bidding war.

    And btw, that story about Remy “not even wanting to talk to QPR/Redknapp” is suspect to say the least since it came straight from Harry’s mouth – which is why I suspect it was mind games to make NUFC complacent in our negotiations with Remy.

  • 423 Scottishmag1 // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:25 PM

  • 439 Beattie25 // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:35 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.

There are other fish in the sea and if Remy chooses QPR then Toon have been saved from a feckless player and move on and look at plan A B and C for a player who deserves the Privilage of playing in front of the best supporters wearing the legendary Black and White Shirt – Haway The Lads !

  • 443 JARRAMAG // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:37 PM

    why is Remy all of a sudden greedy because if he is getting £80k a week it is only the going rate for a top class striker and is the amount of money we should of paid Ba not £40k a week and expected him to accept £60k (we tried to get Ba to sign on the cheap and now it is going to be very costly to replace him)why oh why didnt we just give Ba an extra £6 mill over 3 years because it would of saved us a lot grief

    89norcal got it spot on. This story from ‘Arry about remy not even wanting to speak with him was just so that negotiations became complacent and ‘Arry could step in at the last minute. Whilst it is true that we have a larger fanbase, larger stadium, higher turnover, the simple fact is that Qpr is banrkrolled by the Mittal family who appear in top 10 on the rich list. Based on ownership they are the worlds second richest club. Relegation will not even hurt them. It is a sad day when your team becomes a toy for a billionaire owner. They say they wont go the Chelsea/Man city route but time will tell.

  • 447 Toon-Prodigy // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:38 PM

    Lads,

    The fact remy has agreed terms and is having a medical in the morning with QPR pretty much says its finished with.

    Wants the money, not to further his career.

    Stay away Remy, your not wanted here now. Imagine if he failed his medical though and tried to back track? Would we play ball?

    I’d hope not.

  • 448 Newcastle for alltid // Jan 14, 2013 at 8:42 PM

    What is more worrying than anything for me is that this deal seems to have taken ages to do. We’re already at the 14th of January, and the talk about Remy has been going on seriously since December. If Newcastle use so much time simply to agree a fee with a club, I fear that we won’t have a plan B lined up and will have to start from scratch with a new striker. I have a feeling this will be the case, and that we’ll be stuck with Ameobi as the only serious striker option in February except for Cissè.

    Even worse is the fact that we need 2 or 3 players other than the mentioned striker.

    Why some people don’t think that maybe, just maybe he failed the medical? I mean, heart problems? injuries?

    And didn’t we bring Cisse right after we have not signed a striker and everyone were saying – why not why not that other guy that no one remembers his name now.

    Its all good saying he went for the money but what now? the next 2 games are vital if we fuck these 2 up we will be in the bottom 3 and we have chelsea and spurs after the villa game we really really needed a striker this week. Cisse is not firing at the moment not to say its his fault but we need goals now where are they going to come from?

    Do we have any concrete info? Or are we actually using Joey Barton as a reliable source?

    OM and JB are the big winners here. They get the same transfer fee from Qpr and also Joey Barton their player of the month for absolutely nothing. Joey probably gets his contract paid off as well.

    ‘..Apparently NUFC agreed a contract with Remy last night..’

    They agreed a sale with Marseille, not the player.

    We really needed another striker this week if we f up the next 2 games we will be in the bottom 3 and then we have chelsea and spurs after the villa game. What worries me is we havent got cisse firing at the moment i know he has played out of position for most part of the season but he still doesnt look like he is the threat he was last year. Arfa is out till next month who are we going to turn to ameobi.

    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?

    Or is it a lie ?

    I look forward to seeing Remy among the likes of Clint Hill and Shaun Derry. He’ll enjoy his stay there for sure.

    Proud said Remy had signed….even if your ITK, you do not say it unless he’s 100%. If Proud turns out to be wrong then I’ll take it that he know as much as me?! Lets see……

    ‘..Whilst it is true that we have a larger fanbase, larger stadium, higher turnover…’

    These mean little or nothing to a player. A player wants trophies and/or money.

    Both clubs cannot give trophies but QPR can and will pay the money (but it may not save them from relegation) whereas Newcastle (like so many other clubs Arsenal being a good example) will not play stupid money.

    If that’s the case good luck to the lad, you make your bed etc etc. I bet Cabaye, Debuchy and co at the club must be very puzzled. Going to QPR will not improve Remy’s chances of playing for the French national team.

  • 459 szalenik // Jan 14, 2013 at 9:19 PM

    Joey Barton has said that Remy moving to Qpr would be great news and appears to fully endorse it over NUFC. Also encouraged Fernandes to back redknapp all the way.

  • 460 derekm // Jan 15, 2013 at 10:23 AM

    you either stick to your long term buying plan or you dissolve it – if a player is prepared to go to QPR for the money he is’nt the sort of man the club should be looking to buy. A certain Michael Owen comes to mind
