Skysports.com can confirm Liverpool have made a move to sign French striker Loic Remy from under the noses of West Ham and Tottenham.

The 23-year-old, who has been likened to Thierry Henry, scored 16 goals for Nice last season and has broken into the France national team.

“Liverpool is a legendary club,” Remy told Nice Matin today. “I am very excited by the thought of playing there. It has a magnificent stadium and a fantastic public.”

Signs are showing that we have pretty much bagged this guy.

Seems like there are a lot of mixed reviews on him. Some say he will be the next Henry, some say he is good but not great. Either way, im just glad we are hopefully FINALLY getting a striker.

When were these quotes made? I read a similar thing a few days ago but he also said the Spurs offer was 'interesting'

Great he can be a backup for Reina as well

He started out as a RW ...... Pacy....can dribble and take on players.....

Sign him up and make him our 1st choice RW

Is it Loyc, or Low-ick, or a baffling Loosh or something similar? And is it Reemy, Remy as in Moses, or a Rumanian Remu as in the New Zealand native wood (which makes lovely floorboards and furniture incidently). Is he black, white, tall, thin, fast, slow, good in the air, good on the deck, a creator, a scorer or an all in combo? Does he like rap music and fancy himself a bit

best we ask that one before we sign on any dotted lines.

He's black and dread-locked...

Nowadays EVERYBODY likes rap music... Keep up old man...

Wiki says we've bid 12.5 million pounds... that's alot of money considering we are skint...

Boss cool on Remy link

Roy Hodgson today played down reports that Liverpool are on the verge of signing Nice striker Loic Remy.

The France international has been linked with a move to the Barclays Premier League throughout the summer, but Hodgson has reacted coolly to suggestions he is poised to arrive at Anfield.

"He's a player who was mentioned to me by the scouting department and a player the club were following before I came," Hodgson told his press conference in Switzerland.

"He's a player I know very little about. If I am going to be interested in a player I am going to have to watch him playing, study him and make judgments which I have not been able to."

Nothing wrong with rap music, "set adrift on memory bliss" by PM Dawn was a fine record, and quite hard core enough for anyone who's feeling that way out

. Years ago all footballers were into Luther Vandross and stuff and all was good, these days they seemingly only listen to songs which include bleeps as lyrics and are by someone "featuring" someone else.

The only other dreadlockian players I can recall us having were Rigobert Song (who wasn't very good to be honest), and David James, although I'm not sure he had the dreads when he played for us. Oh and that clown Diaio as well, and I think I was better than him in my heyday. Maybe Cisse had a wee pop at the dreads too.

Perhaps St Mick is onto something, no thanks :no

Fair enough Roy, if you haven't seen him play then feck the scouting department right off. They've hardly covered themselves in glory the last few seasons lets be honest, and if the bloke who reccommended Dossena is still on the payroll, get him off it sharpish.
