Saint Garrett Posted 15 January, 2013 Share Posted 15 January, 2013 Taarabt is their Ramirez really isn't he. He plays in the hole. They have good players and it wouldn't surprise me if they survive, but they're going to be in the **** big time if they get relegated. If they get a really good CB, CM (M'Vila), and Remy then I can see them getting some good results between now and the end of the season. Whether it'll be enough remains to be seen.

tajjuk Posted 15 January, 2013 Share Posted 15 January, 2013 Can't see M'Vila adding much to their game really, overated Remy has only made 2 starts for Marseille this season and has had quie a few injury problems in 2012, so he might not add much to them either.

I'm not sure, from what I have seen of him (admittably not that much) he's looked like a good talent. I think he is better than what they currently have, and you don't get linked with all the big boys by accident. Wouldn't be surprise to see him back on track once he moves clubs.

Centre back and full backs are where they really need strengthening Remy has started a few UEFA games though. Baup likes Gignac, he was manager at Toulouse when Gignac was on fire before he went to the OM for a ridiculous sum of money. As they play 1 up front it's either Gignac or Remy and the manager has his binky. OM paid something like 20 million€ for Remy so it's obvious that Baup doesn't want him any more.

He's also meant to have behavioural issues. Banned from the national team for two years after sneaking off for a night on the town without permission while on u21 duty. There was also a suggestion that his move to Arsenal in the summer fell through because Wenger thought he had a poor attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 15 January, 2013 Share Posted 15 January, 2013 Swansea have just signed a new attacking wide player, which got me thinking about Nate Dyer. I was surprised to see he's only played 9 times this season after a good season last season. Hypothetically speaking, if the money was right, would YOU have him back at Saints?

Smirking_Saint Posted 15 January, 2013 Share Posted 15 January, 2013 Quotes from Redknapp just before Christmas... They have too many players on massive wages without relegation release clauses or relegation reduction clauses, it really is sh!t or bust down there. Harry really has made a poor decision here, they were in bad shakes anyway, the majority are there for a final, large pay check and dont have the desire to get out of a relegation scrap and the others probably lack the ability, add to this the in fighting its a worse situation then he gambled. If they go down its on his CV, and if they dont spend they will go down. Its really not HRs remit to protect the club financially, he has been told to keep them up, as if the go down they are in sh!t streak. With a decent CB, CM and goalscorer they may just do it, but personally I think they are gone. I suppose itll depend on Villa not improving and newcastle going into freefall, if that happens its possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBia is as good as any CM that they're likely to sign really, he looked OK against Spurs, what they need is a goalscorer. Don't want to eulogise too much about them but they really didn't look too bad at all last week. Just a striker short. Fabio had a great game at LB.

Which is why I said only a CB really, Fabio does look a decent player, MBia looks decent, Diakite had a decent start to the season but seemed to get dragged down as it went on. Their CBs are poor TBH and yes a decent goalscorer would do them the world of good. Tbh though, I wasnt overly impressed, they looked ok, another day with a bit more luck Spurs would have hammered them. Spurs is another short of a top goal scorer BTW, Adebayor just looks a shell of what he did all those years ago at the arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This league is very competitive this season, and the likelihood is that QPR will have as good a side as anyone in the bottom 12 positions in the league. It really wouldn't surprise me if they do it.

Window Cleaner Posted 15 January, 2013 Share Posted 15 January, 2013 Cant believe Remy has chosen QPR over Newcastle, after already saying he didnt want to sign for them, and just because of money. Says a lot about the character and the club - wanting to sign players for 80k a week (along with the probably massive salaries for Park, Cisse, Granero etc) when they only get 18k to their home matches. Dont expect the ever so reliable team player and all round nice guy Cisse is too happy either. If they sign M'Vila too, surely their wage bill will be enormous?! Just comparitively, how much is Ramirez on? Aha! There could be a twist in all this. Apparently Bafetimbi Gomis will be available and he's way way above Remy on Pardew's shopping list. It could well be that Remy didn't reject Toon but Toon pulled the plug to await Gomis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 15 January, 2013 Share Posted 15 January, 2013 Reportedly around 38K. Nothing in comparison to the ludricous sums being chucked around by QPR.

Red Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 Danny Welbeck would be good!!!! No. For a start it is highly unlikely! More importantly do we need a loan striker to improve for someone else?? There is no way he would sign permanently, and for the money it would cost not sure it would be either value for money or our priority. JRod is only getting an occasional game, Lee and Myuka are not figuring at all and Billy is on loan, never mind trying the promising youth! Why on earth would we want to develop a forward for one of our rivals at considerable cost to ourselves, whilst at the same time depriving one of ours to breakthrough? Would be different if we were in a lower division and MU picked up most of the wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember seeing him much but do remember him being pretty quick. He cost quite a sum of money when Lazio eventually signed him. Played for Inter last year in the champions league so can't be too bad. From the youtube vids he looks like he's quick, is quite direct, like to cut in from the left and take shots. Maybe a different option after the Coutinho deal going nowhere. Edited 16 January, 2013 by tajjuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
