bluemoon.
According to Tony Barrett from The Times (and Dominic King from the Mail) he's actually just training with them/on trial.

Someone that Moyes has watched for months, and personally gone to see him play with Steve Round and David Weir. He'll be furious. How good must it be to be able to afford to buy players. Same old story - Blue Bill is skint, and not just him because he's the easy scapegoat, but the other members of the board don't invest a penny into the club. No wonder Moyes hasn't signed a new contract yet. I doubt this will put him in the mood to.

EDIT: The Marseille chairman has said that Newcastle, QPR and another club have agreed fees.

What he said /\

Saying this, whoever does our transfers is of great frustration. We never seem able to sign players we need when we need them and I daresay Debuchy may well be it for incomings.
Sam
One reason why I really dislike Harry Redknapp.
zeonflux
Yeah but we don't know the overall squad wage total or what the squad budget is, for example Dyer may have been on £35K - £40K p/w and i imagine Bosingwa and Cissé are on similar if not more and their both supposed to be on their way out the door, so they may have more money for wages but not happy with how much the players are on
Number 1
We at least know one - Bosingwa has £65,000 a week, which he revealed after fining him - but a lot of his squad, especially the summer buys, must be on pretty hefty wages. They may well be looking to offload options but I can't imagine the likes of Cesar, Green, Taarabt, Granero, Wright-Phillips, Park, Hoilett, Johnson, Zamora and others being on cheap wages. Although I always assumed Dyer was on a pay-as-you-play deal due to his ridiculous luck with injuries.
The bitterness is probably as much that I find Redknapp a source of great irritation, and have done since he broke the news of Ba's release clause and openly tried to exploit it through the media last January.

Agreed. He's incredibly disrespectful to others and incredibly hypocritical at times.
Incredibly overrated manager. I was delighted when he didn't get the England job.

Totally agree with you, i was over the moon he didn't get the job, my only problem with Roy as the England manage is that in Roy we still don't have a manager with the balls to drop some of the older players or any of the now established players and start picking the squad and the starting line up based on form. instead of their name
zeonflux
He got found not guilt. I believe what you mean is:
Loic Remy's Agent + Harry Redknapp + Harry's Agent With A Brown Envelope + A "Credible Witness" Talking To Harry While He Faces The Other Way = DEAL!!
Number 1
True about Ba but at the time, the clause was not that well known, if at all. It felt like a deliberate ploy to unsettle us by nicking our best performing player and saying he could do it on the cheap for good measure, which was excessively unprofessional and was naturally ignored by the Premier League.

I'm pretty sure most clubs would have known about it, long before any of us.
Number 1
It was epically unprofessional to watch, and also somewhat annoying that the media reaction was to whip up a chase for Ba rather than say Redknapp was wrong to do such a thing. And yes, it did seem like a foolish move, perhaps even more given he never joined Spurs anyway.
Oh well, guess we look elsewhere - I hear we have a bid lodged for Pierre Aubameyang, assuming QPR don't offer him £100K a week as well.
zeonflux
To be fair it shows the quality of the players that Pardew has brought in that QPR waited until Newcastle had an offer accepted for a player they wanted before they offered. Harry wanted to make sure Pardew wanted him, that way he should be a good player.
I doubt QPR will offer him £100K a week, I mean come on your bid hasn't been accepted yet
Franck
From this perspective QPR is the perfect fit for that red-faced clown, thanks to the wealth of the owners he can overspend as much as he likes on players without ever having to truly deal with the consequences.
Number 1
It's weird that Redknapp said Remy was plain uninterested when he met him, and then from seemingly nowhere he is. Maybe we've dodged a bullet if he was lured by the "throw-money-at-player-until-he-joins" ethos.
Who knows... the comment on Aubameyang was a poor attempt at sarcasm but given we rarely sign players we need when we need them, that or a club also turning up is probably inevitable.
