Loic Remy

[Pablo]

Yep, I think he would have been brilliant for us. I understand us not taking the risk though, but we'll struggle to find someone else as god as him for under £10m

Bummer

Very disappointing.

And FWIW, as I've said a few times, that Jay's main source of info is a really good one. Not right all the time obviously but worth listening to.

Aye I said he was talking out of his arse only because I posted a linked of James Peacre saying Remy had passed his medical.

Obviously Pearce was sold a dummy on that one. Wasn't the only one I don't think. May have been the club trying to cover their arses while we tried to somehow get it done.

Conspiracy theorists running wild on twitter, we pulled the plug on Remy because Borini wouldn't go. What a load of absolute horse****

[Slinky Skills]

I'm guessing but we might buy someone else?

Got to love the old conspiracy theory.

FSG and Ayre out.

Another ITK! That's no reason not to sign him though!

I wouldn't say that's a bad option, plus he only has a year left on his contract so should be relatively cheap. Whether he is good enough to step up from the championship to the Premiership is another matter

The Spurs comparison is stupid, we've got a better manager, dont have a divide between manager and DOF and have a better team with high quality players like Sterling, Sturridge and Coutinho already here who you ridiculously underrate.

Doubt we'd have got Markovic with no CL either, Tony Barrett has said so too. The last sentence is just utter drivel.

Yeah, I am sure Tony Barrett knows everything about Markovic, and everything I have said is drivel, only most journalists are full of **** and Benfica and Portugeuse football in general are.not exactly first tier.

And where have I underrated Sterling or Sturridge. Sturridge is injury prone, and our only proven goal scorer, and I said Sterling could be the man to replace Suarez. Coutinho could be great one day, but needs to step up a bit, and improve his final ball. The system we had was those three players around Suarez. Not having a player to replace him could be a mistake. Its not stupid to worry.

Of course he doesn't know everything but then he's likely to have far more knowledge of this situation than you or me.

It certainly isnt stupid to worry but the constant complaining when theres a month left of the window and the Spurs comparisons are stupid. Anyone can pick one situation and twist it the way they want, how about this one? Ajax lost Suarez, they went from not being able to win the title when he was there to winning every single league title since he left! And they've still not replaced him or his goals. Or Atletico Madrid, finished 3rd, lost Falcao, replaced him in the squad with a past it David Villa, cant compete with Barca or Real financially, won the league and got to the CL Final.

And I would be more than happy if we had *replaced* Suarez with Villa, but we seem to be going a different way all of a sudden, after trying to sign Sanchez as a direct replacement.

Of course we may be trying to sign someone on the sly. My point was just countering the opinion that we don't need a replacement with the players we have got. Personally I think we should have tried to tie up Costa before Chelsea got their mitts on him, and Suarez leaving has wrong footed us completely.

If you believe rumours, the Suarez Barca transfer was agreed in principle when he signed his new contract in the winter. So wrong footed isn't a word I would use.
