Indeed. A 6-1 win over Everton would have been quite a message of intent to the rest of the League.

by Kick Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:20 pm

I'm not complaining though.

by Shed Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:21 pm

1-0. 2-1. 3-1. 6-1. 6-3.

All get you the same amount of points.

by Kick Sun Aug 31, 2014 11:24 pm

Exactly.

by Kick Mon Sep 01, 2014 1:24 am

By the way, was the deal 8m or 10.5m? because I am seeing both reported.

by Shed Mon Sep 01, 2014 1:32 am

In my figures in the Blue Box, I used 10.5. That's what Sky Sports and the BBC say.

by Kick Mon Sep 01, 2014 1:36 am

It seems the more reliable sites, Guardian, BBC, Sky, are reporting 10.5m while Metro, DailyMail et al. are reporting 8m.

Either is a good price in today's market.

by Shed Mon Sep 01, 2014 1:38 am

Precisely. 8 million, 10 million - who cares. It's a great deal, should he replicate his form up to this point.

I think Ba proved, even if he doesn't, we won't lose much on the transfer.

by Shed Mon Sep 01, 2014 1:45 am

I'm confident he'll do turn out better than Ba.

by Kick Mon Sep 01, 2014 1:47 am

As am I. He did just as well as Ba in a worse Newcastle team.

He also have a lot more pace, will be under less pressure to perform and is younger. All signs point to him being a quality signing.

Mourinho phone call convinced me to join Chelsea, says Loic Remy:
A phone call from Jose Mourinho convinced Loic Remy to choose Chelsea over Arsenal as London's two Champions League clubs competed to sign the France international this weekend, the striker has revealed
http://www.oneworldsports.com/stories/loic-remys-versatility-plus-chelsea/

“I spoke with him. He is very clever and he knows exactly what he wants. He has targets for me and I know I have a target for myself as well. Everybody wants the best so the discussion was really good. I know he can get the best out of a player and I’m looking forward to working with him.”

The Legend of Mourinho phone calls continue.

Thats Salah, Fabregas and now Remy rofl

True

Full first interview.

by Insoucious Tue Sep 02, 2014 5:01 pm

I didn't really follow him so far, I don't really know how he played with his previous clubs (QPR, Newcastle).
I only watched his games with the NT and he wasn't great to be honest.
After all, Chelsea signed him, there is a reason.
I can't wait to watch him on the pitch, I want to see what he is able to do.

He scored 14 goals in 30 odd games for Newcastle, Which is solid. But take into consideration how Poor newcastle's side were last season and it is impressive. That is why we bought him.

14 in 26 and I should correct some incorrect things.

We wasn't really a poor side for all of last season, after all we were 5th on Boxing day 6 points from top.

2nd half of the season yes, but Remy hardly played then due to a multitude of reasons.

Also we weren't a poorer side last season than we were during Ba's time, especially during Ba's 2nd season where we definitely get relegated without Ba's goals.

by Kick Fri Sep 05, 2014 3:01 am

Fair enough.

Glad to see him scoring for France.

by Kick Fri Sep 05, 2014 4:37 am

The goal.

Blues new-boy Rémy is 'perfect' for Chelsea, says Mourinho
José Mourinho has said France striker Loic Remy was an unplanned acquisition for the club this summer, but is a "perfect" fit for Chelsea
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-new-boy-loic-remy-perfect-4210272

"Remy was almost in the last day, but that was just a consequence of Fernando leaving, a reaction to an unexpected situation."

"But, even so, the club was ready to give us a striker that we like and that we believe is perfect to be one of our three. So we did our job in a good way, I believe, with something that is fundamental for us."
