Remy & Bent Negotiations Confimed - But Remy Not Keen?

Newcastle United are just 48 hours away from confirming a deal for Loic Remy…….or maybe not. Joe Kinnear said earlier today that by Tuesday the club will be able to say whether or not they will be taking the 26 year old on loan from Queens Park Rangers with the option to buy at the end. The deal is worth £2million to QPR plus Newcastle have agreed to pay the players wages, but reports in France suggest that Remy himself is far more interested in a move to either Spurs, Everton or Napoli who have all recently shown an interest, than going to the North East.
Kinnear said on current negotiations on the Remy deal;
"Yeah I think very much, so I would like to think we are very, very close to agreeing that. I would think maybe Monday or Tuesday we will be a position to say yea or nay, but I am very happy about how that deal is going at the moment."
He also commented on a move for Darren Bent, but conceded that other clubs (Fulham) are also in the running for the Aston Villa striker;
"We were with Darren's agent for two or three hours, we thrashed out a deal. We are still in negotiations with Aston Villa so there is a really strong possibility there.
Again I hear the latest is that somebody else has all of a sudden shown interest in the player so we have competition from various clubs around the country, but I am not letting go.
These are players that me and Alan [Pardew] have spoken about. These are players that we've all agreed at the club are the type of player we want to bring to Newcastle."

Bent is nothing but trouble and largely over rated I'd rather go with what we've got than bring this guy in
One thing DB isn't is troublesome. He has handled himself immaculately while at Villa - both on and off the pitch.
He is a pure striker - and by that I mean he doesn't do much else. But scoring goals - even in poor teams - is what he can do. His record proves it.
Half of the Villa fans want him to stay. I'm not one - as I think our midfield is too weak - but for a team with good midfielders - Bent will score a hatful. He isn't fashionable - and so gets overlooked - but if he was - he would be perfect for Arsenal.
He may not be your cup of tea - but to talk nonsense and slander the bloke is out of order.
That may explain the sudden climb down over the top.

Remy is innocent untill proven guilty so that doesn't bother me but what does is his attitude and the stunt he pulled in jan but wouldn't mind a loan deal to give us breathing space to get another body in by next season
What has happened to the gomis deal ? Gone awfully quiet now and kind of worrying seems like the agents greed have almost killed it off
After a trial fair enough, if he is guilty then I don't want him either, but let us actually have a trial first.
(by hang I obviousy don't mean litterally)
