Which player would you like to see take over from Luka Modric?

I saw somewhere this week on this board that Remy has a high number or the most number of headed goals in the French league. Is this true?

Also, in terms of heading ability, which players would compare fairly with Remy?
 
So while i been at work the last 5hrs thought i'd check in on GG's transfer goss thread to see if theres been any developements.... Turns out the threads been been taken over by a load of Keyboard Conan's
 
Definately.

Watched him against United at OT and he looked like he was born to play there, We need players that don't bottle it at OT.


That's the game that did it for me too .

We will love him at the Lane and we will regret it for years if we lose out on his signature to them down the road..

Levy better not feck this one up ...
 
r.e. Remy - at least his price wont be massively inflated as a result of half a decent performance in a Euro 2012 group stage game.
