"Remy was almost in the last day, but that was just a consequence of Fernando leaving, a reaction to an unexpected situation."

"But, even so, the club was ready to give us a striker that we like and that we believe is perfect to be one of our three. So we did our job in a good way, I believe, with something that is fundamental for us."

"We don't have Liverpool's report."

"The final conclusion (of Chelsea's medical) was the same conclusion that the France federation medical department had before the World Cup, which was that the player has no problems and can play football."

"If a player fails a medical it should be something very, very intimate, very personal between the player and the club."

"But the way almost every club does it, it looks like the medical is not any more a private situation."

"Arsenal, I think they were talking with my agent a few years ago but they never wanted to sign me really because if they wanted they would have signed me a long time ago."

"When Chelsea came it was very good. They told me I can really enjoy being in this team, I can win titles."

"I spoke to the manager in Chelsea and he really wanted to sign me. I never spoke, for example with Wenger."

"He never took his phone and called me so the choice was quick."

I love the remy comments. Remy was staying ,he was in my house for dinner to sign the extension. Then Chelsea called. What back up pls

"Given the game time he is not getting, which will continue to happen at Chelsea I believe it is a pretty bad career choice."

Loic Remy will return the Chelsea squad for Saturday’s trip to Liverpool.

It was thought the Frenchman would remain sidelined until after the international break and his comeback is a boost against the club that almost signed him in the summer.
