KelvinsRightGlove Posted 13 May, 2015 Share Posted 13 May, 2015 Like many, I've been banging the Austin drum for a little while. Would be very pleased if we were to sign him. The reported price of £10m does seem like a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 13 May, 2015 Share Posted 13 May, 2015 Must admit when we where league 1 I really grew to dislike Austin he always seemed to score against us and give it large seemed like a bit of a ****. Fair play to the bloke though he has proved he can cut it in the PL and I wouldn't mind him giving it large to opposition fans in a saints shirt. 10 million seems good value to.

ScepticalStan Posted 13 May, 2015 Share Posted 13 May, 2015 I assume I'm not the first person to suggest Leroy Fer? People might well point out that he's been relegated with two clubs but he's been the standout player for both and is exactly the kind of attacking central-midfielder that we don't have.

S-Clarke Posted 13 May, 2015 Share Posted 13 May, 2015 Leroy Fer is an interesting one. I think he has ability, but he's been in 2 situations these past 2 seasons whereby he hasn't really been able to show it, as he's been shoehorned into **** squads. It'll be interesting to see how he does surrounded by better players and a better structure. But it would be a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 13 May, 2015 Share Posted 13 May, 2015 Soooo predicted next seasons XI based on rumours so far; ----------------Oyland--------------- Tripper--Van Dijk--Fonte--Bertrand --------Clasie------Wanyama------- --Rodriguez---Tadic----Mane------- ----------------Austin---------------- Subs: KD (Forster and Oyland to battle it out for No.1), Yoshida, Gardos, Targett, Vilhelna/Reed, S.Davis/Ramirez (I would rather have him here than more Elia or Djuricic loans), Pelle. When you add in depth provided by some of our youth players I think we could have another good season. If we can pull of those transfers, and keep Wanyama, then that side doesn't look too bad! A bit weaker than the current side but we should still be top 10 with that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted 13 May, 2015 Share Posted 13 May, 2015 Hum, no he didn't. Though he was the stand out player for Burnley on the day. Was overlapping very nicely and put in some great crosses.

Matthew Le God Posted 13 May, 2015 Share Posted 13 May, 2015 (edited) Is Austin really any different to JRod or Long? Yes, they are very different. A key attribute for Rodriguez and Long is their pace, although not slow Austin's game isn't really about pace. £10m seems too much to pay for a player from a very poor relegated side IMO He is the 4th top scorer in the Premier League in 2014/15 despite playing for a very poor side that doesn't create many good chances for their strikers. He has been living off scraps and has done extremely well. Aguero 25 Kane 20 Diego Costa 19 Austin 17 Sanchez 16 Giroud 14 Hazard 14 Benteke 12 Berahino 12 Rooney 12 £10m for Charlie Austin would be an absolute bargain in the current transfer market! How would you feel if we signed any of the others in that list for £10m? But hey he's a Saint fan so he must be a good fit right? He doesn't support Saints.

Toadhall Saint Posted 14 May, 2015 Share Posted 14 May, 2015 Might be media rubbish, but would sum up Rodgers for me. Saints have good defence, so sign Lovren. Doesn't work, so sign his CB partner. At no point actually look into the reasons why saints have good defence. I was having the same discussion months ago with a couple of scousers I work with. Sometimes you need to look at who the player plays with before you actually spunk £20mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 14 May, 2015 Share Posted 14 May, 2015 Seems so odd. I mean I'm no football manager but I can see the obvious. Remember than brum team that had a good defensive record under mcleish? People signed the CBs and were surprised it didn't mean a good defence. Yet their side had been set up to be defensive. Ours isn't necessarily set up not to concede, but we do play two of the best DMs in the league whenever we can. I rate Fonte and Toby highly, but they get more protection than most. You're right, it isn't just the centre backs, it's not just the full backs, or the GK, or the DM - it's all of them combined in a tactical shape which plays to all of their strengths. I remember the Brum team you were referring to - Roger Johnson and Scott Dann were their centre backs. Scott Dann is doing ok at palace, but Johnson has fallen off the face and was released by Charlton last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry would sign all of them and then complain that the squad wasn't big enough and that most of them haven't had much playing time so they're all rusty ... From that very long list, I would take Ben Amos (as per Sarnia's comment) and Kolo Toure. No, I'm not joking, but he's a versatile, experienced player who is happy to act as back up and is someone the younger players can learn from. He's also "won stuff" so has that experience on his side too. No one else in that list really jumps out at me though, well, except Drogba, but I expect he'll sign for Chelsea again for another year?
