Is it me or does it feel crazy to think back to a time when we had a striker we knew would never score when 1 on 1. Now we have two I'm confident they find the net nearly every time they are through. Crazy the difference a few seasons can make!

I would like to point out this was said before Falcao joined. Still think Remy is good, a two poor performances (Arsenal and Fiorentina) don't change that. Just saying....

I'd have Remy over Falcao any day .

Baffles me how he puts on Falcao ahead of this guy.

Falcao looks terrible

Just as we predicted mate

Remy proven goal scorer last season w few chances given

Falcao runs around a lot but looks as pants as he was under LVG at OT

Agent Mendes

Jose clearly doesn't rate him.

Which is baffling when he pretty much always scores when he plays. What else does he want?.

Doesn't want just goals apparently.

Maybe he doesn't like his hold up play/the positions he takes up/the runs he makes?

Who knows? Jose works in mysterious ways...

Always seemed to me that the runs Remy makes require a high risk pass. His hold/link up play is as good as awful imo. He's a good poacher but that's about it for me.

Should be our 2nd choice striker ... full stop.

Piss poor judgement by Jose.

Falcao looks terrible

3 cameo appearances, twice when we had 10men, the other when we were off the boil against a strong city team, if he was given a couple of full games(which he wont get) he would deliver

As much as i was against falcao signing, he has barely had a chance to do anything yet

I would put in a transfer request if I was in his shoes. It's quite ridiculous Jose has this side mission to bring Falcao back to form, even risking losing in a match like yesterday. Remy is faster, stronger, has a better shot, and overall a much better candidate than Falcao.

Anyone else got a feeling that Remy will be a deadline day mover? Like stated in this thread, Falcao is obviously second choice. He can't be happy about that.

The problem then would be "who do we bring in to take the 3rd spot?"  

 

I think even some of the exciting youth prospects - Bamford, Solanke, etc are all off on loan already

He can't be happy about the situation, I wouldn't be surprised if we bring a cheapish striker in. Someone like Charlie Austin and we've been recently offered Pato according to Jason Burt.

 

It's a hunch but I imagine teams looking for a quality striker to keep them up this season then Remy could be that guy teams go for.

I don't think we will make much if anything by shipping out Remy and bringing in Austin.

Were they not wanting £12-15 million

No idea, like I said usually we have a couple of surprise movers at the end of the window. Remy fits that bill, I dont think he's featured once yet and a loan signing has come on three of the occasions.

 

Like I said, just a hunch. A player of his quality as a 3rd choice striker will get plenty of attention when clubs start to panic buy.

If I were Wenger I'd be in for him.

Then I'd jump off a cliff because I'm Wenger.

I don't think we'll sell to Arsenal

Pato? Not sure what went wrong with his career. I doubt he will be on our radar. Massive gamble.

I think what happened was that people found out he was sh*te. 

Pato was a victim of injuries
