Top attempt at trolling so far today. But Hey, it's not 9.00 am yet.

 

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...............

 

Its having an opinion, not trolling.

 

If the club really think they need to spend £15m on a striker to realise their ambitions for next season, then they will , if they can.

 

The ambition is likely another comfortable top half finish, IMO, for which ambition Austin represents a luxury buy.

 

Lambert might fit the bill of a squad player rather well, for a good deal less. Whether Austin is a better player, or SRL would want to fulfill that role, are completely different questions.

I bumped into somebody connected to Poole Town and he claimed he's going to Chelsea. He told to to lump on and make some money.

 

Another Chelsea player will ruin. - if that's the case.

We should nip in and take Bamford off their hands, just to add to our already decent looking front line.

Is he a credible sort - still in contact with him? 14/1 on skybet. Pretty tempting.

About a month ago the odds of him joining Chelsea were about 4-1 and I can see him being the sort of player they bring in. They Play 50-60 games a season so I can see Austin playing 30 odd games, maybe most as a sub but he help their home grown status and will earn a wedge.

 

I'm tempted with 14-1

Hard to see where Austin will end up now, as both us and Newcastle no longer look likely and I can't see him being particularly keen on a move to somewhere like Leicester.

He's defo in at Poole town and quite well known around local football. He was defo friendly with Austin even when he was at Swindon . But whether he still is, I wouldn't know. I don't see him as much as I did since hanging up my boots, but he's never struck me as a Billy Liar. I believe 100% that he's been told it, obviously that doesn't mean it'll happen , but I'd have said its better than 14/1

I'm a fan of Austin and believe he will be a positive asset to our strike force. However, with all of last season's back four except Jose either departed or injured, this is where we must prioritise, now.

 

Although a weakened defence will require more goal-scorers to maintain our goals-for balance

I like Austin and admire his work rate too. You can understand why he would want to go to Chelsea but it wont be good for his career long term. Would have liked him here.

Surely the number plate is indicative of Claus Lundekvam?

Yep, I walked by it and was saying claus to me!

Thought he was back in Norway, would he still have a British number plate?

I've had a small dabble so fingers crossed.

 

Chelsea are 50-1 at UniBet whoever they're, very tempting odds..http://www.oddschecker.com/football/football-specials/charlie-austin/club-after-summer-transfer-window

Staying at QPR this window. I see he has listened to my advice on twitter a month or so ago when I told him to play for QPR and wait till January then join us when we're amoungst the top 4 contenders and decide to go for more fire power to help us out. :D. Would be a cut price as well with only 6 months left on his deal. Isn't he reportedly a saints fan?

Posted
Well Longs reportedly on 50k a week or more isn't he? (FM 2015 says 54k per week) If true we probably would pay him 70-75k a week.

What I've heard it's his crazy wages that have put everyone off!

Good news for QPR fans. Probably not great for their finances.

 

He is far too good for the Championship and I cant believe he would be happy to spend a year down there after his England call up. He probably wouldn't have got in the squad for the Euros but if he bagged 20-25 goals in the PL this season he'd have a great chance. No chance now.

 

Got to be more to it than just his wages, surely?

 

Would have loved us to sign him.

What happened to Qpr's penalty from the football league for overspending in the year they went up? I thought they were supposed to have to pay a big fine this year , and/or have a transfer ban etc ..... And that they'd have to sell big earners to avoid breaking the rules again?

It's been dramatically reduced of course, just like everyone (inc QPR) knew it would be.

 

We all know that football clubs are bombproof - we only have to look a few miles along the coast to the east to realise that.

Way back when this thread was young, I suggested that £15m was vastly overpriced for Austin and was widely lambasted for it. And yet it turns out every premier league club agreed!

 

I told you all so ;)
