Dellman Posted 29 January, 2019 Share Posted 29 January, 2019 Can anyone believe that Blackburn or Stoke (or anyone else) will pay him £60k a week? Even if we manage to get rid of him on loan we will have to pay a whack of his wages. China is our best hope. Come on Gao, do something useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 30 January, 2019 Share Posted 30 January, 2019 (edited) Rovers chief on Britt Assombalonga and Charlie Austin links: Rovers are hoping to add a striker to their ranks before tomorrow’s transfer deadline – with a loan deal most likely. Boss Tony Mowbray has a primary target in mind as he looks to add competition to Danny Graham at the head of the Rovers attack, but that's not either of Charlie Austin or Britt Assombalonga who have been linked with moves this week. Austin’s Southampton team-mate Sam Gallagher is a player Rovers have pursued for some time, with the 23-year-old having scored 12 goals during a previous loan spell at the club in 2016/17 and is the most likely name at the top of the list. But Gallagher's availability could well hinge on Southampton bringing in a player of their own, having been linked with a move for Birmingham forward Che Adams. Austin has fallen out of favour at Southampton and the 29-year-old striker has played just 18 times this season. The former Burnley man has 18 months left to go on the four-and-a-half year deal he signed when joining for £4m in January 2016 from QPR. Assombalonga meanwhile, has nine goals for Middlesbrough this year, despite playing second fiddle to Jordan Hugill at the Riverside. But both he and Austin are currently on salaries significantly higher than Rovers’ current wage structure which would hamper the possibility of any deal. “There are a few players that are circling the market with clubs and agents putting their names out there as being available,” Chief Executive Steve Waggott said of the links to Assombalonga and Austin. “They are both quality players but they come at a price, and quite a significant price. “If they are players that Tony is interested in then that’s something we would pursue but at the moment he has a primary target and let’s see if anything develops over the next 36 hours.” Meanwhile, Rovers are not expecting any first team departures in this window, with just one addition through the door in Middlesbrough winger Harry Chapman who joined for an undisclosed fee on Monday. The club have already allowed Paul Downing to leave for Doncaster Rovers on loan, while a number of the Under-23s squad have headed out on temporary deals. On the possibility of incomings, Waggott added: "We have some irons in the fire but as ever in the transfer window there are other parts of the equation that have to move for us to potentially get closer to the targets we want. "They have to be the right player though with the cohesive nature and character of the squad and Tony is very particular on who his targets could be and they have to be the right fit. "We're still looking, we have brought Harry Chapman in but would like to bring one more in if at all possible." #AustinWatch Edited 30 January, 2019 by SuperSAINT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 I can't see why wages would be a problem. If they were going to sign Sala for £15m, I am sure that we would accept a fair bit less, and the difference cold go to pay for his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 CARDIFF HOPE TO MAKE TWO SIGNINGS Our man James Cole is at Cardiff City's training ground with the club hoping to make at least two signings on Deadline Day. "They have been talking with Monaco about Almamy Toure, the right-back. That has gone quiet and is looking less likely. "They want a midfielder and they are being linked with strikers. "Charlie Austin is the latest, but Cardiff already have two players on loan from English clubs, which is the limit. So any move from an English club would have to be permanent. It’s more likely they bring in a player from overseas and that will be a loan." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 Feel for Cardiff, in that they'd resolved their striker position by splashing £15m on one.

Give it to Ron Posted 31 January, 2019 Share Posted 31 January, 2019 So Crook reporting he is training today at Staplewood given that any permanent deal would be full medical and with Austins knees cant see anything but a loan if he goes.
