Arsenal are rumoured to have agreed personal terms with Loic Remy ahead of a possible move to the Emirates this summer.
The French striker has just completed a successful season long loan spell at Newcastle United scoring which has lead to the London contingent of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham all expressing their interest but it seems the Gunners are leading the race for his signature according to The Metro.
Queens Park Rangers will be looking to offload Remy for around £10m, which makes him a bargain for any club and also eases the financial woes of QPR as Remy is on relatively high wages and they need to free up some money.
The 27 year old striker scored 14 goals in 26 games last season and was Newcastle’s top scorer for the year. Remy is known for his pace and his ability to get in the penalty box when you need him. This is something that is desperately needed in Arsenal’s attack as Olivier Giroud just can’t cope with running up the pitch to get into the box on time and often fails to even appear there.
If this is our world class striker signing then I think we’re in for a big disappointment. I don’t think Remy will ever be that. He has a potential to be a really good forward, but he’s no Henry and I don’t think he ever will be as good as that. He lacks creative ability and his finishing still needs a lot of improvement.
Remy will most likely be used in a support role, hopefully to a new world class striker or a possible back up/bench player. The thought of him playing alongside Giroud bores me to tears. I don’t think either are strong enough or good enough to support the other.
With Nicklas Bendtner gone and Yaya Sanago still in desperate need of development, Remy will make a good addition to the squad. He is definitely a game changer, so hopefully this deal will be completed over the coming days.

yeah…. time to celebrate if they get cesc back
If this report is true and arsenal acquire Remy then we have it, because I never believed Wenger would go for two strikers this summer, world-class or not.
I think remi is a very good addition to the team but I do not see him as the potencia world class striker we’ave been expecting.
Aw should also go 4 the lyks of baloteli,higuain,cavani and falcao.
There’s every reason to believe this stingy old French will go for Remy. Firstly, he’s french and Wenger is well known for this shit ‘aka’ 3 major components- cheap or FREE, French and lease (on loan). Secondly we are in the desperate need of a striker and Remy is a proven beast in EPL so it is more logical to say he is there for sure…thirdly, for a semi- world class players like Remy which valued at 10mill, well to Wenger is an economical genius way of doing business though.
Henry, Pires, Viera, that french defender from lower league french football that is bossing our defense right now who’s name escapes me (sarcasm)< Anelka, Remi< Geroud?, Grimoldy, Nasri, Sagna, Clichy _ yeah i see your point about the the french players he buys just because they are cheap (more sarcasm).
i think remy is all what arsenal need, with his pace and creativity arsenal will have behind him, he will turn to be good signing
He’s ok, not the kind of striker that you fear. We need a badass DM to protect and attack on offense like pogba.
I dont think remy will be the solution for arsenal woes
HE WILL MAKE A GOOD SIGNING FOR THE TEAM ,BUT WE NEED A WORLD CLASS STRIKER ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE AND I DONT THINK REMY IS IT .YES WE NEED TO BUY PLAYERS AND ENLARGE OUR SQUAD .THAT WAS HALF THE PROBLEM LAST YEAR ,NOT ENOUGH DEPTH…WELCOME REMY TO ARSENAL . NOW LETS SLASH THAT CASH ,ITS NO GOOD IN THE BANK. LOOK AT THE INTEREST RATES .
It wil be better 4 hm 2 sign remy than mario
wenger 4 wi dnt nid that guy.
Cesc. Reny. Bender. Smith have al signed. For 45.23m
How do u mean? U praisd him later u condem him? They y write about him signing for arsenal?
Why not mandzukic Arsenal can’t spend we need that kind of a striker,
Wenger should buy Jackson Martinez or else we are fucked again
Hmm they seemed to work together well for France in recent friendies thought didn’t they ?Giroud has worked his nuts off for Arsenal this season and an only get btter with some support. Try watching him before trashing him.
he is a nice and decent striker he his sharp an addition of Balotelli,cesc,bender,griezmann,ruffier/ospina and aurier won’t be a bad one
I just can’t understand Arsene Wenger. Why always go in for underclassed players? We’ve money, spend Big plis. Come on be ambitious!!!
Heard something about Hulk..
How about that?
