I personally think Remy would make an excellent backup striker, in fact I think we should bring him in.

I am still undecided who I think should be our first choice but we should be looking at players like Cavani, Balotelli etc, 2nd tier strikers who have potential to be bonafide world class performers.
I wouldn't exactly call Cavani second tier...though there is clearly not much room left round the sides of Ibrahimovic's ego over in Paris....

Having said that, Cavani has flattered to deceive a remarkable amount of times in the biggest games, but in truth it can be easily forgiven if he fills his boots up against the cannon fodder. Ostensibly he is precisely the sort of player we need. Physical presence, reasonable speed and a great finishing record scoring most types of goals....

I agree with you somewhat on Remy and I'm not sure he is a centre forward never mind a first choice striker for a club like ours but maybe I'm being harsh on him. I see him as a wide left player really for us (though we may well be stocked up there) but incidentally he would provide another option at centre forward. Nothing wrong with adding depth though and to bring in a player of his quality on free is not the sort of gift you will be presented with often.
