Good signing for a fair price. Looked good at Toon last season but so did Ba before he arrived

Bit of a sick note but he's cover so ok

Scum utd paying only 6 mill fee to loan Falcao must be paying him silly wages, he wouldn't have come here to warm the bench

Overall the strikers we have vastly superior to last season now. Let's win some trophies please

what about this heart condition? Is it serious? I am more concerned that he could suffer a cardiac arrest on the field given how much mourinho works the players. I would hate for another fabrice muamba situation to occur.

Jose said something about consulting a specialist about it and he's satisfied that it isn't an issue.  I'm sure Eva will take good care of him.

He's been around for a while now and has played at the highest international level, if he does have some sort of defect theres always the faint possibility but I doubt he'd want it to ruin his career.

 

In the aftermath of the Cech and Muamba situations I think medical teams are generally a lot better at handling such things too.

Agreed, but also the reason he could never be successful at Chelsea was that he seems unwilling to be second choice at any team. I can understand he's young and wants game time, but he never seemed willing to fight against Torres, Eto'o and Ba for number one spot, and so he looked for a loan option. If he keeps that attitude, and is unwilling to have to fight his way up a pecking order, he will never succeed at any club with title ambitions.

Agreed. I just don't get where he thinks that he is THAT good that he should be first choice for one of the biggest club in the world.

I think deep down he knows he isn't and that going to Everton was a good way for him to hide that fact he would never have made the grade. All about saving face.

He's not a remotely similar player to Ba.

 

Far quicker, far better balance, far less likely to fall over and strike the ball with 6 body parts before it goes in.

 

Can score with both feet or his head in equal measures, better from outside the box than Ba and more clinical inside it.

 

I'd say the only thing Ba has on him is better strength and ability to hold up the ball, aside from that Remy has him beat in about every department.

Watching that highlights video of him, I never knew he was that good at striking a ball. I am surprised that he hasn't got to the levels of other top strikers; some of those goals were delicious.

Very pacey direct forward who can finish with either foot. He'll be more than just second fiddle to Costa and will actually threaten to take the Striker role in the first xi. This guy up front with through balls from fabregas will be beautiful. We have 2 very good CF's in the team now who both have different qualities. Remy is more technically astute and would be an excellent option as a second striker in a game we are trailing but being honest the way Chelsea have looked in our opening games I don't see us trailing many games over the course of the season.

I think the signing of Remy moves Drogba from number two to the number three striker. I do wonder if there will be games that we wont even see DD on the bench this season now we have Remy.

I’m sure Didier knew the situation when he came or rather what the plan was going to be.

I think we will see him in certain games where we require a bully or battering ram against teams who are frustrating us. I’d like to see him and Remy play in the league cup too.

Remy can also play wide so I wouldn't be suprized if it affected salah's place on the bench as well as Drogba's.

Remy us a shrewd signing, look at the way we've been playing, you put Remy on the end of those chances and sane result. Been sick of hearing jealous opposing fans (and Redknapp) say he won't get a game. Do they really think we can only have one striker with Drogba as a backup all season? There are a hell of a lot of games in a season.
