Loic Remy will dominate todays news, Sky Sports reckon Liverpool canceled the deal because of Borini wanting to stay.

Sappy404 · 28-07-2014 10:30AM

The Rodriguez rumours are from Talksport IIRC. They smack of incredibly lazy journalism. Team A buy a few players from Team B. Team A now need a striker. Conclusion: Team A will go in for Team B's striker. It was inevitable some low-rent outlet would go with it.

Before the week is out we'll be linked with Solomon Kalou (his agent links him with a big PL move every summer), Lukaku (despite it being incredibly unlikely, but Drogba has come back, so...) and any manner of striker reportedly looking for a move. Hernandez, Cavani, Huntelaar etc. - in spite of the obvious reasons we won't be in for them, we'll be linked by some clown-shoes outfit looking for click-bait.

No way id believe that
He was a steal at 8.5m, cant see how we wouldnt have bought him no matter what our squad was if he was physically up to it.
Borini will be sold or at least loaned out again, not good enough to play up front by himself

I like Borini, but I really hope that's not true.

I heard them say that that is what Remy's agents are saying so I'd say its all bluster.

They don't want Remy to appear unsuitable to sign for a club.

Our page is now getting a little bit X-rated with naughty "Francois" Toure role-playing a hot and heavy post-coital satisfaction pillow talk lean. Not what Giaccherini had in mind when his Italian mates told him "the Premier League is really fast and physical", but from their faces we know our Kolo is definitely getting a second date, and more leaning privileges if he plays his cards right.

Ha!

From that link.

The Uruguayan Jelavic wows photographers here with this deliciously bewildered straddling one-arm 'metal thing in the shape of a person' lean. He hasn't seen anything so static since the Arsenal back four.

Loic Remy's transfer from Liverpool to QPR could be resurrected, despite the west London side's fury over claims from Anfield that the £10.5million switch has collapsed.

Rangers still consider the deal is on and are also annoyed that the news leaked out from Merseyside yesterday afternoon, according to the Daily Mirror.

The move is understood to have hit the rocks over Remy’s failure to pass a stringent medical, but further tests are planned on the France international today.

The 27-year-old striker – desperate to move to Liverpool to play Champions League football – was due to sign a four-year contract following a week of negotiations.

But the Reds pulled the plug yesterday and then declined to give a specific reason when they arrived in Chicago for last night’s game against Olympiakos.

Remy was on loan at Newcastle last season and missed almost a month at the back end of the campaign with a calf problem. But the issue is seen at Anfield as far more serious than that relatively minor injury.

He had flown to Boston for his medical and to discuss terms on an £80,000-a-week contract. But as the Liverpool squad moved on to Chicago as part of their pre-season tour, he returned home.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rogers said: “It's very simple. We made a decision as a club not to go ahead with the deal,” said Rodgers. “It's unfortunate for the player that it's happened before and it's happening on this occasion.

“We're obviously disappointed for the player but there's nothing more to be said, we have to move on and look at other targets.”

Remy now faces the prospect of missing out on his European dream and rejoining QPR.

I'd be content dropping Agger from that list when you consider we would still have Toure, Kelly, Wisdom, Coates and Ilori all on the books.

Wisdom is playing for WBA and Ilori is almost certainly going on loan as well. Toure is off to Super Lig by the looks of it.

Surely nothing concrete was disclosed because it's a medical issue. You can hardly expect Rodgers to go into detail about the lad's heart condition/knee ligaments or whatever it was. Yesterday I thought that depending on the severity of the issue a fee could be renegotiated but Rodgers has now come out and said the deal is off publicly. The club has moved on it seems.

Yes. Yes please.

Just remembered though hes coming back from a cruciate injury. Big gamble at 9.5 million.

For a loan it's a big outlay....not sure the owners would sanction it but if there's a deal in place for a permanent transfer at the end of it then you never know. The guy's a phenomenal finisher

Just because he retweeted it doesn't mean he's endorsing it. It's laughable TBH. @_CallumMWright recently tweeted this:

Join my Fantasy League for your chance to win shout-out’s:

... and only yesterday said both Origi and Lovren would be announced together at 11am today. He's a chancer.

Harry Palmr · 28-07-2014 11:57AM

Never got the fuss about Falcao to be honest - he's 28! Didn't think he was that old.

joe123 · 28-07-2014 12:00PM

Falcao is unbelievable but I can't see the club paying that money for a year of his services, especially coming back from a curciate injury.

Didn't something come out last year stating that's he's actually a couple of years older, as well. Much to Monaco's fury, at the time.

Knex* · 28-07-2014 12:03PM

Also, I don't think 10m for a season loan for Falcao, is that ridiculous.

Now, I don't think it'll happen, but if it did and he got us into the Top 4 again, and beyond the group stages of the CL this year, then he has more than justified that fee.

BMJD · 28-07-2014 12:07PM

I'd take him if it's £9.5m for this year with an option of a permanent move for ~£20m at the end of it, otherwise it doesn't stack up in our favour. I don't see why we should pay top money to babysit his knee for Monaco.

Agent Coulson · 28-07-2014 12:08PM

€12m for a 10 month loan that's €1.2m a month before his wages which are around €250/300k tax free in Monaco if not more.

So we could be looking at paying close to €20m total for a 10 month loan.

Can anyone really see FSG agreeing to that?

Nah, but I wouldn't be against it.

Sappy404 · 28-07-2014 12:13PM

Not that I believe it for a second, but just to entertain the idea, £9.5m for a 28yo (thought that's debatable as Knex. suggested) works out at £38m on a 4-year deal. That's arguably less than his market value but with no sell-on fee, it might be about right. Does he still have that crazy 3rd-party ownership thing going on though?
