Looking for Loic

After the match yesterday, it sounded as though Loic Remy was on his way to Newcastle to have a medical, after we agreed a fee for the player with Marseille.

ASBO, now plying his trade at the Stade Velodrome even took to his favourite metier Twitter to say: "Good luck to Loic in Newcastle. Don't worry I've told him what to expect. Great guy. Perfect club for him #toonarmy".

(ASBO then went on to have a debate with Tim Burgess (from the Charlatans) about the welfare system.)

Anyway, as far as Remy was concerned it was a case of: so far, so good.

However, by this evening ASBO was back on Twitter saying: "Just heard from a magician that Loic Remy has signed for QPR. Not sure what happened at Newcastle probably Llambas (sic) again!"

(ASBO then went on to have an argument with Big-Nosed Judas Bastard Dietmar Hamman. You couldn't make it up.)

With Sky Sports News also claiming Remy is due to have a medical for Droopy's lot tomorrow, it looks as though we're going to be left frustrated in our quest to sign the Frenchman and, with just over two weeks left before the transfer window closes, will need to keep looking for a replacement for Demba Ba.
