Queens Park Rangers striker Loic Remy has signed for Newcastle United on a one year loan deal and becomes the clubs first senior signing of the summer. Remy who was linked with a move to Newcastle in January before signing for QPR, made 14 appearances for Harry Redknapps side and scored 6 goals.

Pardew said of the signing;

"Loic is a great player and I'm delighted that Joe has got him on board for us. He'll be a great addition to the squad, he gives us strength and pace up front and I'm sure he'll bring plenty of goals.

It's a big season for Loic, like it is for all our international players ahead of the World Cup, which will only provide extra incentive for him to play at the very top of his game.”

Whilst Remy told NUFC.co.uk;

“I'm very happy to be a Newcastle player.

It will be a huge honour to play for such a big club. I was very flattered by the Club's interest in me back in January and also very happy that they showed interest in me again this summer.

The Premier League is the best league in the world and that's where I want to play.

I am very motivated this year to get into the World Cup squad for my country.  I know in order to do that I need to have a big season and a successful campaign with Newcastle United.

I am focused on helping the team achieve success this season and scoring as many goals as I can."

QPR manager Harry Redknapp had said ahead of the deal;

"Make no mistake, he will get between 15 and 20 goals next season if he goes to a Premier League club. He is a top-class player - a player for any club in the Premier League in my opinion."

He has a lot to prove. He must show 100% commitment to the cause in order to be accepted by the fans. The fact that he chose QPR over us for money in January still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Hopefully he can prove his commitment by scoring some goals in an NUFC shirt. Having said this, I will support him all the way. Howay the lads!

Great signing hopefully Gomis will follow next week then I would like to see another CB too but see how things pan out. Some people have been saying we need a winger but dependent on the system we play we should not need any other wingers, it has to be a 4-3-3 attacking stle like the season before last.
