And what would be wrong with that? You can't have every player in your squad being world class. Are Schurrle or Salah world class? No they're not but they work well in their system and give them options
As a first choice player I'd say no but as a member of the squad at £10m is a no brainer.
Is a striker who contributes almost nothing to our build up play good for our system?
Remy is a pace merchant with decent finishing IMO.
He could do the business against retarded bottom half teams, but we'll be fucked if we go to Europe or any smart PL team with Remy as our CF. They'll reduce the space which will render him useless and worst of all, our game will suffer, because at AFC, we rely on our CF to link up play very well for our game to flow. Have you guys not seen how poor we look when say someone like Poldi (who is also poor with his back to goal, just like Remy) plays as our CF?
I don't expect our 2nd choice striker to be world beater, but at least he should suit the way we play. I wouldn't even bring in a world beater who fucks up the way we play let alone a decent player like Remy.
If we want to compete with the big boys again, we should go for well-rounded players (with above average skill sets), but if we want to compete with the likes of Spurs then 1 dimensional players like Remy is the way to go IMO.
