We had posed the question whether Newcastle would forget that Loic Remy rejected us last January, and go back in for the QPR striker, since he’s available for just £8M from QPR.
Loic Remy – majority of fans want him signed
And to judge the mood of the fans, we put out another poll on whether Newcastle should sign the 18 times capped French International, who scored an impressive 6 goals in 14 appearances for QPR this year.
And the results are that a 64% majority of fans want this lad signed up – Joe Kinnear please take note.
Certainly if Newcastle can get Wigan striker Arouna Kone and Loic Remy on board for just £13M in total, that would be good business, with both players having proved they can score goals in the Premier League.
But the Evening Chronicle are reporting that Newcastle have pulled out of the race to sign Kone – so we weren’t in very long?
Here’s the results of the poll so far on Remy, and it’s still open if you haven’t yet voted.

Comment #121We should be challenging for the top 4 next season. We need to be bringing in at least 6 top quality players to do that.

Comment #123I’ve got a suspicion that the reason we have pulled out of the Kone deal is because maybe there has been progress on a target higher up the list

Comment #125Dondatta13
I don’t think anyone is suggesting getting him in until the case is dealt with but if he’s found guilt then I have no issue with him

Comment #126My point is he has a serious allegation over his head.. Nobody knows if he is innocent or guilty..
I don’t want this mighty club signing ANYONE who has something so serious and vile hanging over them…
If he is cleared… Happy days…
But as it stands.. right here… right now… NOT A CHANCE i want him here

Comment #127roblee7 -yes a great place for the holis. I’m currently organising this years trip. We’ve got an isolated villa in its’ own grounds – 4 mountain bikes to use on the surrounding farm tracks -tv/wifi -all mod cons. Couple of years ago did the visit to Padirac -underground cave -part of it was on a gondola on the underground river. This year going to visit some of the caves in the Vezere Valley -check out the cave drawings, bones of cro magnon man (close relatives to JK). Better place to live than here -that’s for sure.

Comment #128Kets…we ain’t bringing in 6 quality players but yes,if we had some ambition this would be the goal. After last season I get the impression a mid-table finish will satisfy these muppets

Comment #131Why do people think we retracted our offer?To me it sounds like he’s just flat out rejected us and I expect him to sign with Everton by noon tomorrow – think he’d already made his mind up, though I suspect our team behind the scenes knew that all along.

Comment #132t00ntime…me neither 🙂 lol
…I am a forgetful guy and I don’t hold a grudge for long, so should it happen he signs (and is cleared of all charges) then I’ll probably forgive and forget!
Just annoyed about money being an object for someone who never has to worry about money again. They can just concentrate on doing what they love – I know I would have given mu right arm to be where they are and I did feel sad for a moment when injuries ruined my chances as a kid!

Comment #133Or maybe we have cooled of him because he has no interest what so ever in coming to the circus that is the mighty newcastle united just a thought!!

Comment #135jazzyp hmm… well thats a bummer.
dondatta I get where your coming from and hope all works out well for the victim (whether its the girl or Remy) and us. Atm I’m just hoping we sign a shola replacement and a Ba replacement. Remy looked perfect as Ba replacement until this whole thing.

Comment #136But surely if he rejected us then Wigan would just say he rejected us, why would they say we pulled out if we didn’t?

Comment #137jesper I never had to go through the troubles of injury ruining, largely because I was sh1t anyway lol. I dont understand how it can go from being a kids dream and working for it non stop, to not caring about it and looking for nothing but cash. extra cash fair enough, trophies and cash fair enough, but just cash? did the players never listen to Jessie J lol.
