Nordic Saint Posted 3 June, 2019 Share Posted 3 June, 2019 Erm, who gives a ****, seriously? The weathers nice, get out and have some fun in it rather than having a go at some bloke who plays football for a team he doesn't support. Good post, Jeff. The endless bitterness on here about players and managers who are leaving or who have already left for pastures new just like players and managers do at every club and always have done is getting mind numbingly boring.

SuperSAINT Posted 27 June, 2019 Share Posted 27 June, 2019 (edited) SSN linking Sheff Utd... SHEFF UTD WANT AUSTIN Sheffield United have enquired about the availability of Charlie Austin, according to Sky sources. Southampton would accept an offer in the region of £10m. The 29-year-old scored twice for Southampton in 20 appearances in the Premier League last season. I’d be surprised at that fee and his wages.

GGalpin Posted 27 June, 2019 Share Posted 27 June, 2019 £10m is a daft price, but then it's only a first counter offer, same as going in low for a buy. I'm sure if £5m came in with the majority of his wages paid, I'd think they'd accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGalpin Posted 27 June, 2019 Share Posted 27 June, 2019 Why would we pay any of his wages if he went to another PL team????????????????????????? Because Sheffield Utd won't pay his £70k-ish a week? Nor would any club who would realistically be interested. Quite likely we'll end up paying a chunk for the rest of his Saints contract IE next summer. I'd really wouldn't be surprised as it's just a year left on his deal, we either loan him out with full wages paid by the other club, OR it's a permanent on say £5-6m with a contribution towards his wages.

Austin is injured less than Ings. Ings is 27 and ended injured for 2 years at Liverpool, hardly played and we paid fricking 20m for him. On that basis, Austin is worth 10m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarvSFC Posted 28 June, 2019 Share Posted 28 June, 2019 Bournemouth got £6m for Lewis Grabban from a Championship club. He's older than Austin and never scored a goal for Bournemouth. Probably on a lower wage though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Uwe Posted 28 June, 2019 Share Posted 28 June, 2019 In English football, £10 million in 2019 is roughly the equivalent of £1.5 million about 20 years ago. You may baulk at the fee but it's probably about right for a player like Austin. Think along the lines of John Beresford, David Hirst etc. when they joined us.

Charlie Wayman Posted 28 June, 2019 Share Posted 28 June, 2019 £10m?! Christ alive. Yes but as said before we should stop being so bloody humble about selling our players. £10m is bugler all in today's market and if he scores 8 or 10 goals for them he'd be a bargain. He's not useless as many exclaim on here just that he doesn't fit Ralph's plan; don't forget Ralph is not pushing him out the door, because of his positive influence in the dressing room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrone Posted 28 June, 2019 Share Posted 28 June, 2019 Maybe I'm in the minority here but that sounds like a fair price to me. If they play him right he'll get goals and £10M will seem like v.good business. They have to play to his strengths though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notnowcato Posted 28 June, 2019 Share Posted 28 June, 2019 No need for the animosity. Charlie didn't change his character, physique, injury issues and knack for scoring a goal or 2 since he came here, we knew what we were getting and we got it, I mean that in the positive sense. Good luck Charlie, you gave what you could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
