david in sweden Posted 11 April, 2016 Posted 11 April, 2016 Where do you think all the rumors and vossip appearing in the media lately comes from? far too much vossip on this thread already.....it's enough to make you bomit !
Dalek2003 Posted 11 April, 2016 Posted 11 April, 2016 I am indeed delighted and hopes he never plays for Saints again. 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 This poster used to talk sense, but in the last year seems to have completely lost the plot.

SuperSAINT Posted 29 January, 2018 Posted 29 January, 2018 The Argentinian also delivered some positive news regarding Charlie Austin. Saints' leading scorer has been sidelined since reporting a hamstring injury in December's 1-1 draw with Huddersfield and "is back on the pitch training, something that is really good news for us."

niceandfriendly Posted 29 January, 2018 Posted 29 January, 2018 That is very much good news. Need him fit and firing until the end of the season. Chances of that though?
S-Clarke Posted 29 January, 2018 Posted 29 January, 2018 That's good news, obviously still a few weeks away, but back in time for our crunch fixtures you'd have to say. Lots of options now, we just need to use them right...
Nordic Saint Posted 29 January, 2018 Posted 29 January, 2018 It is very good news if he can return soon but I think they are probably announcing it a bit prematurely to soften the fans up for the sale of Gabbiadini.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 29 January, 2018 Posted 29 January, 2018 It is very good news if he can return soon but I think they are probably announcing it a bit prematurely to soften the fans up for the sale of Gabbiadini. Yep that would be it, you`re so perceptive
striker Posted 30 January, 2018 Posted 30 January, 2018 We need his goals. We can't rely on our CB's scoring every game. The team looked much more direct and dangerous with him.
trousers Posted 11 February, 2018 Posted 11 February, 2018 Any chance of Austin being back for the next league game in two weeks? I suspect him coming back for the last 10 games and staying fit is now our main hope of avoiding the drop...

striker Posted 12 February, 2018 Posted 12 February, 2018 Sky commentator today said out for another 4 weeks So we can still get him back for our last 8 PL matches, or sooner if he gets back in 3 weeks
ally_uk Posted 12 February, 2018 Posted 12 February, 2018 Rumour take it with a pinch of salt was a punch up in training regarding Austin other p!ayers getting annoyed that he isn't pushing him self harder to get back in team reckon he is to casual.
stevy777_x Posted 12 February, 2018 Posted 12 February, 2018 Didn t Pellegrino say 2 weeks ago he had started training again?

("Heard it from the horses mouth" at one end of the scale, and "saw a tweet on Twitter" at the other) Cheers
LGTL Posted 12 February, 2018 Posted 12 February, 2018 Austin is a minimum of 4 weeks away. That's from the horses mouth, a mate was talking to him in the Virgin Media box yesterday.

That's from the horses mouth, a mate was talking to him in the Virgin Media box yesterday.Sounds like Pellegrino was wide of the mark a couple of weeks ago when he said Austin was back in training. Or maybe he's had a relapse?
ally_uk Posted 12 February, 2018 Posted 12 February, 2018 I play 5 aside football every weekend One of blokes who went told me he heard it through somebody who works at the ground take it as you will could be bs.......
derry Posted 12 February, 2018 Posted 12 February, 2018 Austin could have moved to non contact training under supervision whilst nowhere near full training.
tttdcs Posted 12 February, 2018 Posted 12 February, 2018 I play 5 aside football every weekend One of blokes who went told me he heard it through somebody who works at the ground take it as you will could be bs....... like most of your posts?

SO16_Saint Posted 3 March, 2018 Posted 3 March, 2018 Any updates on Austin. We need him back ASAP. He’s back from Dubai and was building a snowman with his Mrs last night. No update on the injury front though, sorry!
Miltonaggro Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 Austin could be the difference in terms of us staying up I feel - once fit, Charlie wil be up for it - he can displace the expensive exotic bollard we got stung for in the January window!
Dellman Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 Charlie doesn't want to play, he's on the clubs top pay whether he plays or not, he's overweight and lazy, its no good looking to him for salvation, his day is done
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 Charlie doesn't want to play, he's on the clubs top pay whether he plays or not, he's overweight and lazy, its no good looking to him for salvation, his day is done Opinion or some sense of being ITK?

As long as he gets picked. Our genius manager has only started him 5 times this season.
DT Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 Austin must be made of paper. I do hope he's trying his hardest to get back to fitness.
Dusic Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 I have forgotten about him for thisbseason as no way he will be sharp enough to play until right bear the end, by which time it will be too late. Very poor signing overall, simply doesn't spend enough time available to play, and its not bad luck, its poor conditioning. We should have shipped out Austin and Long last summer.
Dellman Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 Long is always ready to play, fitter and faster than any, and always gives everything...the other extreme from Charlie
S-Clarke Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 Long is always ready to play, fitter and faster than any, and always gives everything...the other extreme from Charlie Only issue is that he doesn't know how to score goals.
saint77 Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 When’s he supposed to be back? should be on the bench for west ham been training alone and should join main group this/next week
Nordic Saint Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 I have forgotten about him for thisbseason as no way he will be sharp enough to play until right bear the end, by which time it will be too late. Very poor signing overall, simply doesn't spend enough time available to play, and its not bad luck, its poor conditioning. We should have shipped out Austin and Long last summer. Austin was our top goal scorer last season and he is again this season. Without his crucial goals v West Ham, Everton, Bournemouth, Arsenal and Huddersfield this season, we'd already be down and without his goals last season, we'd have finished 17th. It's not only his goals that we miss: he lifts the performance of the whole team when he plays as they can actually see some point in attacking. Admittedly, he is physically falling apart, which is why we got him so cheaply. He's still been a bargain though and the only striker we've had over the last 2 seasons who can score goals. You're right about Long though but perhaps as others have said he might be better played as a winger as with his poor finishing he is just wasting space when played as a lone central striker.
SuperSAINT Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 should be on the bench for west ham been training alone and should join main group this/next week He loves scoring against Gold / Sullivan so I hope that's true.
Saint Pete Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 Long is always ready to play, fitter and faster than any, and always gives everything...the other extreme from CharlieI can only go by what I have seen from Austin on the pitch, and when I've seen him play he has shown no lack of effort, and has shown plenty of desire to score goals. That DOES put him at the other extreme to all our other forwards, including Long! Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
striker Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 Its weird, its like some just don't like the way he runs (or something). The guy was not expensive, has been the leading scorer for the past 2 seasons even with the injuries, and lifts the team up when he is out there. The players have confidence in him. He is the only guy we have who consistently delivers goals.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 As long as he gets picked. Our genius manager has only started him 5 times this season. This is just moaning for the sake of it. He started with Gabbi for the first few games, god imagine the uproar if he’d started with Charlie instead. Once it became apparent that Gabbi wasn’t cutting the mustard Charlie came in from the cold, before getting injured. Had he not got injured, he’d have been playing every week. God you’ll be moaning our genius manager has only started Sims once next Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

He is the only guy we have who consistently delivers goals.If we had a player like Austin who was actually available for more than about 10 games a season (instead of Austin) then we would be nowhere near relegation. His inability to keep himself in the condition needed to play PL football is a big factor. All very well scoring 6 goals in 8 games or similar but not much use if those 8 games are all you manage in a season because you aren't in good enough physical shape.

I am not Charlie Austins greatest fan but, notwithstanding his fitness issues, he seems more of a natural goalscorer than the £12m Shane Long, £15m Manolo Gabbiadini and £19m Carillo

Who gives a **** what ‘uproar’ there would have been, a manager is paid to pick the right players not pander to the fans.
Saint Billy Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 Perhaps charlie may return for his swan song and save us from the drop and become a cult hero. Just dreaming!.
sammysaint Posted 5 March, 2018 Posted 5 March, 2018 Best natural striker we have, yeah he needs to improve his conditioning or something to be able to play 30 games, but he has been fit and not played at times he's better then that Carrillo when injured. Problem is MP will play Carrillo over him which is a disgrace and that will relegate us.
Ken Tone Posted 6 March, 2018 Posted 6 March, 2018 Keep hoping he'll turn up on the u23 team list as part of his recovery, bit not yet. Anyone got any update? Is he training with the team yet?

HKsaint Posted 6 March, 2018 Posted 6 March, 2018 However, I am worried that MoPe will refuse to replace Carrillo with Austin when the latter becomes fit. He preferred Long rather than Austin in the past.
Saint Albert Posted 6 March, 2018 Posted 6 March, 2018 This manager is more than capable of keeping Austin on the bench behind Long and Carrillo even when he does regain full fitness.
Dusic Posted 6 March, 2018 Posted 6 March, 2018 This manager is more than capable of keeping Austin on the bench behind Long and Carrillo even when he does regain full fitness.He won't be fully match fit by the end of the season as by the time he is back there won't be enough games left to achieve that. He is a 10-15 game a season player now, as proven by significant injuries in each of the three seasons he has been at Saints. That is little use to any side.
