ewerk 26173 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 That's also why we failed to sign Messi and Ronaldo in the January transfer window. The transfer fee certainly wasn't the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26606 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Your missing the point fellas. Even if Ashley matched whatever price was required, we couldnt offer CL football or the monster wages that Remy will attract in the summer. Cabaye had CL football when he signed for us. Remy may not get CL football if he goes although he may join a club who show him that they're aiming for CL football. We wont pay a certain wage or a big transfer fee and that's the top line.

We already know for a fact with Remy that like Ba, its all about the wages. No way we are going to compete with the types of wages Arsenal or Chelsea will pay him.

What we probably will do is think about putting bids in generate a bit of excitement then sign nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way we are going to compete with the types of wages Arsenal or Chelsea will pay him or most of the other PL clubs. FYP. No we wont and most players will want good wages not just BA and Remy. Rooney has squeezed more money out of Man U as they're desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26606 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Who are our main men in the transfer dealings (incoming)? Are they given a strict mandate? Are we confident we can get the quality and quantity of players I suspect we might need next year? This eighth spot might look a lot better next season depending on our recruitment in the summer.

Howmanheyman 26606 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Also have to take into account QPR's stuttering form. If they fail to get promoted the fee will go down or they'll just loan him out again. A 2nd season out of the PL and they really wont want to be paying his wages.

trooper 940 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The thing is how many players are we going to need the article in the Chronicle last week mentioned up to 10 players will be away. Admittedly not all those were first team players but we only have a small squad to start with. The sheer amount of investment needed in the squad come the summer wont be matched by Ashleys money. That is why I think he'll go with loaned players I think we'll have a small cluster of bought players and the rest made up of short term loan players.

desmondTUTU 0 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The wages cost more than the transfer fee over a long contract. We usually opt for longer contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they fail to get promoted the fee will go down or they'll just loan him out again. A 2nd season out of the PL and they really wont want to be paying his wages. Their form is shocking, they've the best defence in the league but they've only scored 37 goals. The teams building momentum like Derby and Forest don't have the same problem and they weren't able to keep those teams from scoring when they met, so even if QPR stay in the play off places, I'd fancy the midlands clubs to come out on top. How does this affect our chances or signing Remy permanently? It doesn't because he'll be off to a club that's playing some level of European football, or at least one with designs upon chasing that aim.

Kid Dynamite 5883 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 For all we were dogshit at the weekend, Remy showed his class. Best striker we've had since Ba, who in turn was the best striker we've had since Shearer. I'm interested to see how he and LDJ link up. They looked good together for twenty mins at the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19736 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 'I want to play for one of Europe's big five', says Loic Remy http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/loic-remy-want-play-one-6796237?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter No big surprise that the cunt will be off in the summer.

Inochi 0 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Cunt? Hasn't he just said that he wants to play for one of the elite clubs at some point in his career? He's also been quite complimentary about the club, and the city, in the same interview. As usual, the quotes have been twisted to make it appear that he will be joining one of these clubs in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26173 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 His next move won't be to one of the five biggest clubs in Europe but it'll likely be to a better team than us. It was only a loan, can't grumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1115 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Unfortuntately if you show no ambition players like Remy won't sign for us. It doesn't say anything bad about them (quite the opposite really). Our only hope is to sign players who can use us to improve and then move on to a club that has ambition.

Ah, sorry, I was under the impression that he'd done something to deserve being labelled one. I guess that I must tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. But, no, I don't think he'll end up here if he gets an offer from a 'top' club. He might not even end up here if a club on our level, but with aspirations to improve, show an interest. I wouldn't rule it out altogether, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
