Saints in for Remy

Armitage Shanks talking toilet again :D

 

Personally i hope this one is true, I won't really think we're prem till one of our players rapes someone

 

That would really tarnish the image of the club. It's just one of those things in society that is technically not illegal, but frowned upon, like wiping your nose on a train seat.

In a decent team he would be awesome

 

Just because he was average at QPR doesn't mean he is pants,QPR were beyond poor last season and at times he showed serious potential in a team that seemed to of given up by January

 

If I was sure he was not going to get done for rape I would have him here all day long as I think he would be decent for us

 

Unfortunately he is on £70k a week,which may well be out of our reach in terms of wage and that may be the biggest problem of all

Our progress has been built in recent years on a good team ethic and spirit. He has obvious ability but I doubt his motivation as a player. I'll pass.

 

Just out of interest what are you basing that on?

 

It must of been hard to be motivated in the QPR team that was rock bottom of the prem when he joined in January

The day we had a player sustain a cracked skull for acting like a bellend in a nightclub - I knew we were going straight to the top. When you have that calibre of player, the Premier League is the only place to be...

How much motivation do you think it takes to be in the starting XI for a Premier League team that has about 4/5 players that could play in your position? Not to mention other factors of improving your career, or that you've spent your entire life being motivated to reach a level that a very small percentage of participants ever reach?

 

Sorry meant to quote Colin's post...

Fair question regarding his motivation.

 

Just echoing the previous thoughts regarding his choice of moving to QPR over a Newcastle team who were in European competition at the time. Coupled with his current legal issues that puts his current standing as a bit of a dilemma for me.

 

I do not in any way doubt his ability, it is unfair to judge that on his time in that train-wreck of a QPR side and I do feel we need another striker. I would be wary of signing this particular player though.

I would imagine QPR was sold to him on the basis that Arry was bringing in all these players to steer them to safety etc etc, Fernandes seems to be very ambitious as well and with a lot of money behind them I could see the appeal,plus they probably offered double what Newcastle would pay.

 

The rape claim is dodgy ground as we don't know the facts,he could be 100% innocent/guilty but the British always assume the worst so in everyone's eyes he is guilty until proven innocent

 

I reckon anyone that comes to us will instantly be into what we are looking to achieve and will want to play as a team as the team spirit seems great here,motivation at this club doesnt seem like a issue to me

While Newcastle went into negotiations offering him certain relegation?

You could say the same about many players

 

Why did Ramirez sign for saints?

Oh yeah, we offered him too much money. How's his work rate and availability ?

Anyone who thinks we are interested in Remy clearly has their head up their arse in terms of how much squad harmony is valued by Cortese and Saints.

 

That is all.

 

Exactly, there's not a cat in hells of chance of us signing him - would of rather had Gary Hooper over him.

Not likely. Cortese has made some poor transfer decisions, Forren for example, but Remy would be a bad choice for practical reasons as well as moral ones. Buying a player who might have to face a criminal charge and who could then be convicted, doesn't feel like the Southampton way.

Fully agree.

Banega and Wanyama are different players - we're still being with linked Banega despite signing Wanyama.

 

Not really seen us linked with him since Wanyama went through. And yes they're different players but they still play in the bottom 2 CM positions. Banega isn't a Ramirez type of player.

LOL at QPR continuing to run their club into the ground financially!!! Turning down our £15m enquiry in favour of a £2m loan deal with maybe £6m more to come FFS

 

I have a contact who works at st.marys who has told me there are rumours going around that Remy is a possible target for saints, around 15 million
