2) Loic Remy – QPR
The French striker who spent last season on loan at Newcastle has an £8m release clause, so would actually be cheaper than Lambert. He scored 14 top flight goals last term, and like the rest of this list, is younger and quicker than Southampton’s 32-year-old. However, Remy would unlikely be content with a place on the bench, while Lambert, a boyhood Liverpool fan, would.
