Sky Sources Trying To Serve Saints An Incorrect Remy-dy.
Monday, 17th Jul 2017 14:08 by Arron Sanders

According to Sky Sources (so take it with a pinch of salt), Saints are to battle Everton and Marseille to the signing of Chelsea Striker Loic Remy. Arron Sanders takes a look.

The Chelsea striker who spent last season on loan at Crystal Palace, is set to leave Stamford Bridge in search of regular first team football.

Sky sources incorrectly reported Saints to be in talk with Atletico Madrid over Luciano Vietto last week, And I get the impression they could be wide of the mark again.

Remy has had a bad run with Injuries since he left Newcastle United a few seasons ago, and at the age of 30 would not fit the usual criteria for a saints signing.

On top of this with Mauricio Pellegrino set to deploy a 4-2-3-1 formation it seems, you would imagine the 4 strikers currently on the books are more than enough to compete for 1 place.

With these 2 things in mind it is hard for me to see the club being in the mark for another Striker, unless a player was to depart the club.

We could yet see Sam Gallagher head out on loan again, or even Shane Long make way should the right offer for him come in from an interested club.

What do you think Should Sky be checking up on their sources? Or could you see Saints make a play for Loic Remy?

Jesus_02 added 14:54 - Jul 17 Surely this is lazy journalism at best. Remy is exactly the opposite of a typical saints signing. Expensive, old and living on reputation. I would be gutted if we signed him TBH

law101 added 16:03 - Jul 17 Couldn't agree more with Jesus_02, we have been plucked from thin air as an interested party here. Just like the Loftus-Cheek one.. why would he take another clubs young player on loan when it would block the pathway for one of our own. Goes against our whole business model.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
