REMY RAGE ; PR anger at Liverpool after France striker fails medicalPR fury as move collapses [Eire Region] [Mirror (UK)]


(Mirror (UK) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) QPR chiefs are furious at Liverpool for claiming that Loic Remy's Pounds 8.5million switch to Anfield has collapsed.

Rangers still consider the deal is on and are also annoyed that the news leaked out from Merseyside yesterday afternoon.

The move is understood to have hit the rocks over Remy's failure to pass a stringent medical. But further tests are planned on the France international today.

The 27-year-old striker - desperate to move to Liverpool to play Champions League football - was due to sign a four-year contract following a week of negotiations.

But the Reds pulled the plug yesterday and then declined to give a specific reason when they arrived in Chicago for last night's game TURN TO PAGE 41 FROM BACK PAGE against Olympiakos. Reds boss Brendan Rodgers will also be disappointed after securing the World Cup striker for a smaller fee due to a release clause.



Remy was on loan at Newcastle last season and missed almost a month at the back end of the campaign with a calf problem. But the issue is seen at Anfield as far more serious than that relatively minor injury.

He had flown to Boston for his medical and to discuss terms on an Pounds 80,000-a-year contract. But as the Liverpool squad moved on to Chicago as part of their pre-season tour, he returned home.


Remy now faces the prospect of missing out on his European dream and rejoining QPR. If the deal is confirmed as being off, it will leave Liverpool searching for a striker only three weeks before the new season.
