    I agree. I was just trying to only use the players we have.

    Remy isn't reliant on chances being created for him, he has the ability to create chances on his own. He can score goals you wouldn't imagine, take the Wigan goal at home last season, one of the most breathtaking goals I've seen.

    He can play any system, on the wing, up front both as a duo and alone. He did very well playing in our dysfunctional 4-5-1 last season.

    If it is up to the club he must not be sold. End of.

    Double this. Remy is a class act and who wouldn't want him in their team. No brainer, really.

    personally I'd love to see Remy back but I just cant see past Arsenal signing him..esp if they win the league this year or can gaurantee CL football.

    Looking at the OP title, looks a bit like Harry has found a way to jump ship if he needs to...? Or is that too cynical..?

    Fair enough, I bet he still gets another year though.

    The rest of the players might not as he deserted them this season, same goes for taarabt.

    We could go back to the Hughes type dressing room problems.

    Whilst i would have probably agreed with you 6 months ago, Remy has proven himself to be a top marksman in the Prem and anyone would want him back
    Without the debate starting again, I dont think you can say the same for Adel.

    Still dont see Remy coming back though..

    Perhaps this is the reason - a buddy to play FIFA with, hopefully not during visiting hours at the Scrubs?

    Loic Remy signed with QPR after playing FIFA against club’s owner

    If you're QPR owner Tony Fernandes and you're trying to sign Marseille's Loic Remy, how do you convince a player to sign for a last-place club in January? Well, lots of money (QPR paid Marseille a club-record £8 million transfer fee and Remy is getting more than £70,000 a week, according to the BBC) and a relegation clause, of course. But apparently the icing on that relegation-proof money cake was a game of FIFA 12 with Fernandes himself.

    From QPR's official website:

    Fernandes spent over four hours persuading the 26 year-old that W12 was the right place for him to pursue his footballing career – and after the talks finished, the duo found time for a showdown on the world’s favourite football console game.

    “It was a special moment that followed our chat about QPR,” Remy told www.qpr.co.uk.

    “We just played a game of FIFA – it was good and showed to me what a good person Tony is."

    “He showed his human side to me as an owner of the club I wanted to join. It was a special moment for us both.”

    Playing as Bayern Munich, Remy triumphed 6-0 against Fernandes’s Argentina in game one, before the R’s Chairman fought back to claim a share of the spoils in an eight-goal thriller, only to lose on penalties.

    First of all, I'm not sure why they played FIFA 12 instead of the current FIFA 13 (maybe Fernandes wishes it was still last year when he avoided relegation without buying a bunch of old and overpriced wastes of shirt numbers?), but that's what the site specified. Also, playing club v country is never right, especially when a Premier League contract is on the line. This is clearly the future of the sport, though. There will come a day when all top-level decisions in football are decided over games of FIFA. Or Mario Kart.
