Radamel Falcao : 'France is a marvellous country,' he told Telefoot.
'I've been there before, and I love it. PSG have a very ambitious sporting project and they've invested a huge amount of money to construct a competitive team. That will need time, but that could come very quickly.
'It's not impossible that I could be meeting you [the French media] very soon.'

Key thing about Remy is that he's comfortable playing as a wide forward so it's Pardew being smart and trying to fit the team around Cisse rather than shifting him out wide and making a mug out of him. Still a bit of a gamble but, at that price, one worth taking.

Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, 20, increases speculation he is signing for Manchester United by tweeting: "Looks like I'm on my way to the top of the Premier League." He later removed the Tweet.

The Toon forward grew up supporting the Paris club and would be tempted by a return to Ligue 1 - having spent time at both Lyon and Marseille in France.

However, the exciting playmaker insists he will not leave Tyneside until he has helped Newcastle stave off the threat of relegation.

"I am under contract with Newcastle and I'm fine," Ben Arfa said, in an interview with Le Parisien.

"First, I must save my club. I only think of that. Help my team and my coach, with whom I get along great. We really want to fight for him.

"The fans are great too. Once we have saved the club, you never know. To sign for PSG would be a childhood dream. If there is a proposal, I will study it with interest.

"If there is a proposal. The 'if' is important."

Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova has reiterated that striker David Villa will not be leaving the Catalan club.

The Spain striker has been linked with a move away from the Nou Camp after finding first-team opportunities limited this season following his recover from a serious leg injury, with Arsenal one of the clubs believed to be interested in the 31-year-old.

He told reporters: "David is not going to leave. We are very happy with him."

Joseph Barton @Joey7Barton

Watching Patriots. Just heard from a magician that Loic Remy has signed for QPR. Not sure what happened at Newcastle probably Llambas again!

Joseph Barton @Joey7Barton

Gift of the gab from Harry Redknapp perhaps? Thought it was done and dusted to Newcastle. Something must of gone amiss. Great news 4 #QPR

[Leyton388]

I'll piss myself laughing if thats true. Take that Pardew you gimp

OM sporting director Anigo: Not just agreed #remy fee with #nufc, also #qpr plus one unnamed club. On rtl radio apparently

David Crossan @davidmcrossan

Anigo says it's down to #remy to decide which club he wants to join

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

I thought it was a done deal

It'd be quite nice to see Remy **** them off now for bottom of the league QPR as well!

8 YEARS.. I don't like Pardew much or Newcastle so here's hoping Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Tiote and Coliccini all want out

[Nick77]

The 3rd club is Borussia Dortmund apparently. If true I would choose the Bundesliga over the other 2 clubs...

[Chazza]

I would guess the reported 80k a week that QPR are going to pay him might be the clincher.
