Liverpool swapping Remy for Borini and coming out with a £5.5 million profit is incredible.

Liverpool swapping Remy for Borini and coming out with a £5.5 million profit is incredible.

Well, when you put it like that.

[Dynamite]

Are Liverpool fans not happy with Remy? At £8mil, I'd think he's one of the better Liverpool signings this summer so far (bearing I don't know anything about Markovic because I don't think Portuguese football even comes on Sky or BT).

Liverpool swapping Remy for Borini and coming out with a £5.5 million profit is incredible.

That's what I was thinking, what sort of warped logic makes Borini £5.5mil better than Remy? Great signing for Liverpool, brilliant footballer and as clinical a finisher you'll likely to find. At that price there can be no complaints.

I'm going to miss him

[Plubby]

He's a striker from Newcastle. They're just laying the foundations now so they can claim they were always against it when he Andy Carroll's it.

...he is from Newcastle right?

He was only on loan from QPR last season, so they're actually buying him from them.

Fuck, just remembered that he's going for £3mil less than Ross McCormack, what the fuck?!

[Gazz]

There is literally no formula or logic to transfer fees anymore, it's just 'pick a number'.

I mean, if I was working for Liverpool and someone phoned up offering £14m for Borini, I'd think it was a wind up.

[Kyle]

Some of these transfer fees make me think that the clubs think they're playing a game of FIFA career mode.

[Gorka]

Surely it has to be mostly add-ons for Borini?

[SeanDMan]

Yes, but this is Newcastle we're talking about, which are now run as glorified Sports Direct shops.

They'll probably mispell the name and charge you for the extra letters.

I'm happy with the signing of Remy. Good player, good goalscorer and can create chances and he's played in the Prem. He's a much better option to have than Borini, as much as I like Borini and want him to be given a chance, you would have to be mental to turn it down.

Ian Ayre is playing a blinder!!!

Loic Remy the footballer isn't my issue, it's Loic Remy the person.

[Jimmy]

You have a problem with Remy, but you were fine with Suarez???

I was never fine with Suarez. I mean, it's a lot easier to forgive his misgivings when he's banging in 30 goals for fun, but I never liked him as a person.

Remy is much worse though. Even if we're ignoring the gang rape allegations, he's been an unsettling presence in every dressing room he's been in, puts himself before the team, throws a fit when he's not starting every game, and just generally isn't a very likeable person.

Cracking player, sure, but if Luis Suarez didn't do enough to make me love him, Loic Remy sure as shit ain't gonna.

[brenchill]

Nerf, I love you but you were the biggest Suarez apologist ever when he was around in the PL

[Nerf]

Sure, doesn't mean I liked him, though. And in fairness, half of the apologist stuff was you lot twisting what I actually said
