Pie in the sky figures were thrown about when Faurlin and Granero signed. Wouldn't be surprised if SWP or Zamora were up there in this new age of undisclosed transfer fees

'R’s agreed a club record fee for the player’s services'
Any ideas what this was before?
It was never Alejandro Faurlin, because he was free, despite the "puff" £3.5m the club said it was.
From there, there has never been official word, but rumours we paid £4m apiece for Djibril Cissé and Bobby Zamora, which sounds fairly realistic and conflicting reports what Shaun Wright-Phillips actually cost...anywhere between £3.5m to £6.5m.
Stephané Mbia appeared to be around £4.9m according to reports, and as for Esteban Granero, no idea, but didn't sound as much as some made out. I have a feeling he came here for less than what we paid Mbia.
"Harry played a big part in me coming here. I spoke to him and Tony Fernandes at length and they made it clear they wanted me here. They gave me the right motivation to join QPR. "
Yep, a bucket load of cash!
Dont know why we bother. .... but we do!

Good luck Loic and welcome to the Rs. There's been a small earthquake reported on Tyneside a few moments ago ...apparently a few thousand geordies dropped their pints of Broon ale still in disbelief!!!

I know financially it could be crippling, and it is the opposite to the kind of direction I wanted the club to go after the last 18 months, but you can help but be excited when your club signs a talented striker.
I am really looking forward to seeing him at West Ham and I hope the fans dont hold the money issues against him.
If he and any new signing bring the work rate and commitment to go with their talent, we have some genuinely good players on our hands. Taarabt must be rubbing his hands together....

There are some YouTube videos entitled 'Welcome to Newcastle Loic Remy' when I was looking at them this afternoon.....

4 and a half year contract on who knows how many tens of thousand pounds per week. Why do we give out such long contracts?? We never learn. With our wage bill it's going to be totally frightening next season in the Championship, barring a miracle.

Your wrong mate, I know cash seems like the only reason, but you are forgetting, Newcastle don't have any Aeroplane, this matters to a man like Loic!

Actually I think this signing is well worth the risk just what we need at the right time . We need a top class goal scorer and I think this fella fits the bill sometimes you have to take the necessary risks to achieve your goal. Staying up looks more possible to me every day Harry has been at the club .
