After making a reported £12m for Loic Remy, we look to be the favourites to sign the France striker.
His agent claims that Marseille are interested, but that he’d prefer a move to England and is expected to confirm a deal next week. No one seems to know that much about him and the Spurs fans I spoke to over the weekend were split between those that are backing Harry’s judgement and some who had concerns over his less than brilliant goalscoring record of 32 strikes from a total of 101 appearances.
Perhaps the lack of goals shouldn’t be a huge concern when you consider that he has spent much of his career playing on the flanks by all accounts. That Thierry Henry bloke was another player who started as a winger and coincidentally, had also scored 32 goals from a total of 161 games, before the Scum bought him. He didn’t turn out to be too shabby as a striker, did he?
Remy was on target this weekend against Leyton Orient Lorient, scoring the winning goal with a header. He looks pretty mobile from this footage and at 6ft tall, could possibly be the player that Redknapp has been searching for, to play on his own up front.
Powerful player with skill he is exactly what we need, hence Harry having a real interest, definite buy. COYS
