There is news coming in that QPR manager Harry Redknapp has said that Newcastle United target Loic Remy will not be loaned out by Queens Park Rangers for next season.
Loic Remy – Newcastle will have to buy him
QPR manager Harry Redknapp has told the Independent there is now way he will be loaning out the French International for next season.
“I don’t think he will go on loan,” “I can’t see any sense in it. I don’t know why we’d pay £8M and then loan him out.”
“If he was to go, someone will have to pay for him. He has a buy-out clause, and we want our money back.”
It seems that QPR will only let Remy go on a permanent basis, but of course there is that small matter of his rape trial still to come up, and at the moment he is out on bail for the alleged offense.
This is at odds a little with QPR owner Tony Fernandes, who had said that two QPR players could go out on loan for next season, and we suppose that could still be consistent with what Harry says – if one of them isn’t Loic Remy.
The release clause in his contract is probably the £8M QPR paid for him and Newcastle agreed to pay for him in January, before he opted out of the Newcastle transfer at the very last moment.
But some reports are saying the release clause in his contract is £6.8M – and that’s interesting because that’s €8M – so there could be some confusion there.
This has put a bit of a spanner in the works for Newcastle’s pursuit of Remy, but of course there is no way Remy wants to play in England’s second tier next season – with the World Cup coming up next summer in Brazil, and he wants to make the French squad.
It’s risk we know because of his pending rape trial – but life’s a risk – and we think Newcastle should sign Remy up.
What do you think?

Comment #81As Kevy said, we’ll have a ST by the time City comes around. How do people think our transfer model is structured, Kinnear isn’t given a budget to go and spend, all his job is to do is twist MAs arm and advise him, MA is still the one ratifying deals, just like he always has. If Kinnear really has attended any negotiations, it’ll only be with MAs blessing of a set amount to not budge beyond.

He’s a pinata? Knock a few back with Mash?
Beats me. I don’t see why Pardew can’t do the persuasive thing, maybe he was just sick of hearing Pardew’s nagging voice? 😆 Just clarifying what actually happens, as described when he joined, as some seem to think we have the traditional, here’s your budget, go and spend it as you please set-up, with JFK heading it. Everyone knows Mash wouldn’t be that hands-off with his money.

Comment #92hey guys new to the blog, think im just like every other Newcastle fan on here, mad and angry that its so hard for us to bring in a single player, if we want Remy or gomis then why cant we just splash out the cash, if don’t bring anyone in its going to be a long season for us

Comment #94Plana – always same old $hite with you.
Haven’t you learned that Ashley is a ruthless business man who doesn’t give a toss who he winds up – meaning, if he wanted Pardew gone he would get rid straight away.

Comment #95Ted
The main problem being JFK wouldn’t be the man you chose to go and haggle
The stick he gets, imo anyway, is simply because he hasn’t the skills to negotiate a deal, I know Ashley has hold of the purse strings but its joes job to convince him to loosen them
So far he’s failing miserably!

Comment #96seanNufc – I’m watching the game Bony does seem absolutely lost – not in the game at all. Swansea are playing some decent possession stuff but it seems, as last season, their final ball is not quality. I anticipate Bony will get better as time goes on – he better had improve or he will flop.
As a comparison with the Toon – I am extremely nervous -they could certainly outplay us -no doubt about it -everybody is mobile, looking for the pass, making space, no panic, playing out from the back, good possession. Just the final ball is faulty. To the clots who doubted Laudrup – he has a good side and they are obviously coached in the correct way. And our lot just started the basics of pass and move.

Comment #99Jail,
Just read the list Charlie put up and it shows Pardew -19 goals over his tenure, makes for poor reading and you wonder what effect the ‘4 days defensive training per week gets us’. It’s as if he got bogged down with the defence and didn’t put any focus on the other 6 players defending responsibilties.
Aah, young jeff, the blog needs him mate.
Like a hole in the head!!!!
Charlie,
Great find that list, makes the cogs turn a bit!

Pardew is on an 8year contract, but Ashley can get rid at any point with only 12months compensation

Comment #110I’m not apologising for Kinnear, the guy’s off his rocker and would be best placed on one, inside an old folks home, the only real use in my eyes for him, would be to use him as a battering ram to break into Mash’s office, after Mash has locked himself inside on deadline day.
I don’t know why him and his tempura heart are really here, just reiterating the supposed rationale behind his presence.

Comment #118I still can’t and wont believe that Ashley didn’t know or didn’t need to sign off on pardew getting an 8 year deal, in which case there would be a clause in his contract that states should he not perform up to a standard, he will be fired and receive only a year of salary.
Say what you like about Ashley, you dont become the richest man in the north east by making stupid moves in business.
