AJ 1,218 Posted January 3, 2016 Can''t imagine in Chelsea''s position they''ll let him go unless they bring in some serious reinforcement in the window. Falcao injured again, Costa indifferent - Remy is their 3rd choice striker. Non stater this one methinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grant Holts Moustache 105 Posted January 3, 2016 Maybe he want to try his hand at a club a little higher up the table!I''m all seriousness though a great player if he was available and willing to come to a team of our stature. Can''t see it though. If he is available there will be plenty of clubs after him as he is a goalscorer at this level and not many of those become available.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted January 3, 2016 Would love to see Remy in a City shirt, but for too many reasons this will surely only be paper talk sadly. Still, if it happened, with the emergence of VOO, Rudd and Benno, I think it''d ensure a very happy 2nd half of the season - Matt Jarvis coming back, mid table no problem!

birchfest 397 Posted January 3, 2016 We saw what he was capable of in that very average QPR side, I think we would be able to offer him an even better chance of goals..... Do I think this will happen? No. How much is he on? 60-70K a week? Doubt he would leave London and half his wage with us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted January 3, 2016 IF he became available (no place in the squad today) the bottom half of the league would rival us for his signature! He would guarantee us survival in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted January 3, 2016 Bench warming mercinary ???That''s utter bullshit. Maybe he went there because chelsea one of biggest clubs in the world. How could you turn down a move to Chelsea when you play for QPR. And know they will do well in lots of competitions so will get games in fa cup, league cup and chamaps league aswell.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted January 3, 2016 Well then he failed, and if he was bothered about regular football he would have left in the summer to find a club where he can play.So it''s a "no thanks" from me.I''ll ignore your unnecessary insult, tough guy.

Grant Holts Moustache 105 Posted January 4, 2016 Bor I would have thought that after 2 seasons of scoring at QPR and Newcastle when struggling he would have backed himself to succeed and would want to win trophies. It hasn''t worked but I wouldn''t say Chelsea not playing him means he''s not good enough to take our club forward (not that I think he would join us anyway). When Drogba left he may have looked at this season and saw an opportunity to play. If he is looking to get away and play at a club at the lower end of the league it would suggest he is no mercenary and wants to play football how ever as we know Managers will sometimes keep players who want to go for squad cover and he could be in that position.

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted January 4, 2016 I''d imagine he''s motivated to make the France 16 squad, so even if he isn''t bothered about the team particularly, its in his interests to go out and get some games and goals.For what it''s worth, I''d take him. He''s an undeniable step up in quality and if it doesn''t work out, we have fairly reliable back up so we wouldn''t be putting our eggs in one basket.I don''t blame him for moving to Chelsea and the move hasn''t been that bad for him really, he''s played well in Europe and the cups when given the chance. If anything, he was more of a mercenary at QPR. As for his scoring record, some of them apps were like 10 mins or were from the wing as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
