ASTON VILLA MANAGER Remi Garde has confirmed his interest in signing Chelsea striker Loic Remy.
Villa sit bottom of the Premier League at the midway mark and have not won in the top flight since the opening weekend of the season away to Bournemouth.
Garde’s side are the lowest scorers in the division with 15 goals and the Villa boss has confirmed Chelsea misfit Remy is among a group of players he is targeting in January.
He said of the former Lyon forward during his press conference on Wednesday: “He is a guy that I know well. Of course it would be an interesting player for the team. Of course, yes.
Loic is quite a special one because he knows the country and knows the league. I can’t tell you exactly today, but he is part of some players I am trying to attract into Aston Villa for sure.”
Villa’s first test of 2016 comes against second-bottom Sunderland on Saturday as Garde again goes in search of his first win in charge.
“We are all responsible for what happens on the pitch – me first and the players too,” he added.
“The team has to build a new story. I am still very frustrated not to have won a game in this country, for sure.
“I still have an optimistic view. I am still thinking the victory will come soon and that will change the mood of the changing room.
“When you lose so many games at the start of the season, the impact of this is probably huge. This is why I talk about the fragility. But the answer is within the dressing room.”
Unfortunately for him sheamus Coleman is injured and Ireland haven’t played in the last week and a half so he can’t blame Martin o Neil
Id be shocked if he isnt sacked in the morning, 150m spent and there useless. 1 pt from that group is shocking. Where was wayne tonight? David moyes or rafa
@ryan o sullivan: Chris Coleman maybe.
@Mick Power: Chris Coleman is very average manager.
@Irishoverseas: always thought so as well but he has a high profile in England.
@Mick Power: Rafa will be the man for Everton with his family still living in Liverpool only thing is will he want to take it with his Liverpool links.. and maybe Newcastle can now offer him the money to improve under a new owner.
@Irishoverseas: I’d hate to see him go to Everton for obvious reasons but I wouldn’t begrudge him. Couldn’t see him being accepted tho
@Irishoverseas: newcastle about to have a billionaire takeover. He’d be better off where he is
@Irishoverseas: I don’t think Rafa would take that job. Too many LFC ties. He was and still is revered by supporters of LFC mainly because of how he supported the families of Hilsborough
I think it would be hard for him.
Koeman has made it perfectly and irritatingly clear that he views Everton as a stepping stone on his way to another club. So I hope he now gets his wish to move on from the club.
@Macca: I think you might not have to wait too long to see Everton sack a manager during the season!! I’d love to see them land a decent manager. A great club, would like to see them do well.
Maybe Klopp might fancy a good at a big club on Merseyside
@powerfix: imbecile
People on here love to slag Celtic and Scottish Football but go outside the top four in England and the standard is very mediocre.. For all the money the EPL spends its still a very average league
Saw Lyon beat Monaco last weekend and were a joy to watch,Everton no match for them
@j lad: yeah they were a banker tonight but my problem was that I thought Villarreal were also :(
@Irishoverseas: joys of the Europa league.Clubs burst a gut all season to qualify for Europe and then rest a load of players.Villareal a dangerous side but unpredictable
Who’s that Fekir that scored the penalty?
The fan with the child in his arms swinging digs, Family club me arse as Jim Royle would say!
Time’s up koeman. On your bike. Maybe they’ll land ancelotti lol
No surprise they are struggling in the group and in PL, were being overrated before start of season because thet spent a lot of money, when reality they were overpaying for all their transfers.
Anyone been following Depay since his move to Lyon? Is it looking like another Ryan Babel 2.0?
