Toomer Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Ronald said in his post match interview that Charlie Austin injured his knee in the pre match warm up, are we going to see the best of him.
Saints foreva Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Haha guess we're seeing why no other club wanted him. Hope this isn't a sign of things to come because he's a goalscorer.
John B Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Ronald said in his post match interview that Charlie Austin injured his knee in the pre match warm up, are we going to see the best of him. At the moment seems a waste of Money lets hope he gets to play a few games
Jonnyboy Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 It was pretty obvious that was why he was so cheap.
John B Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 It was pretty obvious that was why he was so cheap. I wonder how much he is getting for doing **** all
nta786 Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 It was pretty obvious that was why he was so cheap. His goal against United might have paid off his fee
UpweySaint Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Give the lad time. He was a bargain for a reason and a low-risk gamble. If we can get him fit he could be a cracking player for us for a few seasons to come - if not - well, we tried.
hasper57saint Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Give the lad a chance.RK will have him up and running soon.
Toadhall Saint Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 To the op - probably not but who knows. He'll score some important goals but not every game[emoji6]
Pedro Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Forget him for the rest of the season and get him fit for next season.
striker Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 He's been injury free for a few years. Even earlier this season he was scoring almost a goal a game for QPR. Then he got the hamstring injury and it's been a mess since. Let's shut him down for the rest of the season, we'll need him next year.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Still not seen him in a Saints shirt. Bizarrely, always injured when we go. Trying not to take it personally...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Ronald said in his post match interview that Charlie Austin injured his knee in the pre match warm up, are we going to see the best of him. Did Ronald say whether it was a severe injury or too early to tell?
Saint Charlie Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Did Ronald say whether it was a severe injury or too early to tell? He said the Doc had mentioned "meniscus". That potentially could need a small clean up operation.

Pamplemousse Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 ART will be very happy to hear this news, seeing as he 'intensely dislikes' Austin
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 In the words of the veritable Adam Blackmore: #saintsfc striker Charlie Austin did NOT get recurrence of hamstring injury warming up BUT did pick up a knock on knee
Dark Munster Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 He appears not to be a Leicester-level fit player.
S-Clarke Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 He needs a good pre-season behind him, then we'll see what he's all about.
Viking Saint Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 Give the lad a chance.RK will have him up and running soon. This....why run down one our own?? Give the lad a chance to deliver the goods....unless you think he's faking it??
Crab Lungs Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 A good pre-season will help. For £4m, he's already been more value for money than a lot of buys previous to him.
Fabrice29 Posted 9 April, 2016 Posted 9 April, 2016 If we are going to sell Pelle and go with Austin as our main striker next season then he's really going to have to step up. I think he can and will step up but the adoration he got when he first signed and the stick Pelle got at the same time is looking rather silly. I remember the first couple of home games after he signed...everything Pelle did wrong was met with frustration and calls for Austin to come on...he's done nothing to suggest he can lead our line next year from the odd appearance he has made. I think he can and will but the stick Pelle got was totally uncalled for.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 10 April, 2016 Posted 10 April, 2016 I said at the time he signed he would be a risk because of his knees and loads on here gave me stick. Look, the level we are expecting from our 'main' striker is beyond that which Austin can deliver week in week out. If Pelle does go in the summer we would be best placed to move Austin on and get a really good replacement in. Fact.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 10 April, 2016 Posted 10 April, 2016 Disappointing but we knew we were getting a 'sick note' type player when we only paid £4M. Let's hope we can get him fit for cameos off the bench every now and again. Hope he was on a pay per play salary, or a basic plus pay per play.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 10 April, 2016 Posted 10 April, 2016 Still think he'll come good for us. Obviously, this wasn't the start he was hoping for, especially after that goal against United on his debut, and we may need to accept it'll be next season before we see the real Charlie Austin.
Plastic Posted 10 April, 2016 Posted 10 April, 2016 If Pelle does go in the summer we would be best placed to move Austin on and get a really good replacement in. Fact. A fact is something that has been proven to be true. An opinion is something you think may be true - just FYI.
JakkoUK Posted 10 April, 2016 Posted 10 April, 2016 I think if Austin and Jay-Rod are to be selected as starting 11 week in week out with a good run of games will be a fantastic attacking force and with extra spark due to being two English players. I also think they'll build a great partnership too. If Koeman goes down this route next season, then we have some great games to look forward too. But I find it hard to see Koeman shun his Eridivisie boys.

But I find it hard to see Koeman shun his Eridivisie boys. Do you honestly believe that RK would play certain players out of favouritism? He was a quality player and he knows better than any of us that you don't win by playing favourites. You might not agree with some of his selections but then when does anyone agree with a manager all of the time? (Especially on here )

david in sweden Posted 10 April, 2016 Posted 10 April, 2016 His goal against United might have paid off his fee my thoughts , too.
The9 Posted 10 April, 2016 Posted 10 April, 2016 Meniscus tidy-up wouldn't take long anyway, even if they do the op he might only miss one match, though it would probably be two - and it's not like we'd need to rush him back at the moment.

He's vermin Where do you think all the rumors and vossip appearing in the media lately comes from? Austin feeds Harry Redknapp, his media and racing friends with stories of unrest, behind the scenes problems. No to time to play but constantly at racing meets, late at night functions and blabbing on TalkSport

St_Tel49 Posted 10 April, 2016 Posted 10 April, 2016 Forget him for the rest of the season and get him fit for next season. This - we have good medical staff so if he has the right rehab and a good pre-season we may see the best of him.

Saint Matty 76 Posted 11 April, 2016 Posted 11 April, 2016 Austin Rodriguez - ? - Long Makes for a nice little attack next season, assuming we'll need to sign a #10 along the lines of Ziyech/Sigurðsson though as I can easily see us selling Tadic and Mane.

Whitey Grandad Posted 11 April, 2016 Posted 11 April, 2016 When changing clubs it can take some time to settle into a new training and fitness regime. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him next season.
