Another report thst Palace are pulling out of getting Remy in. This surely must mean (please!) that another deal (Slimani?) is getting done?

Slimani isn't being sold.
Most likely, we are finalising a deal for Adebayor or Bendtner.

surely the only reason we would do this is if we had a better option - Benteke anyone? Strong rumours that he was going back to Villa on loan so maybe we hijacked that.

To be honest, I'm not that surprised. If the two options are Adebayor and Remy, it's not hard to understand why Adebayor would be prioritised (particularly if we've now had a look at him and feel he is in good shape and ready to roll, match fitness aside.) With Remy, there's the issue of negotiating with his present club which obviously presents a problem you don't have with Adebayor. Furthermore, Adebayor may have been out of the game for a while but it's not like Remy has been playing weekly and is in full swing. Furthermore, Adebayor's enthusiasm for the game is probably, right now, ahead of Remy's (if his showing on Sunday is anything to go by.) Plus, it may well be that Pardew simply feels Adebayor's skill set is better suited to us than Remy's. I think this is somewhat true; the former is more likely to make something out of nothing where Remy is more reliant on service. The only thing I would add is that if these reports are right, you have to think we have something or someone lined up.

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

A loan deal would be a good option, but then there's the astronomical wages.

"Look at that. Accident blackspot? These aren't accidents! They're throwing themselves into the road gladly! Throwing themselves into the road to escape all this hideousness!"

So my point stands, it's all bulls*** if the same newspaper is writing two different stories with regards to where he's going to go.
