Charlie Austin for £4M

[Hyperion]

He was quoted as being £6m in the 70s hate to think what he would be worth now

I think £4m is fair considering he is now 64

No, it was 6 million dollars.

Still, a hefty price back in those days, whatever the currency

Doesn't matter what age he his the man is bionic age is irrelevant

Tis true. His heading would be immense

He's a southerner so he would see more of his family and I think it would be a prosperous move for him. Burnley is an absolute shithole. Ideal transfer target.

I know for a fact that he wants to leave Burnley, and does want to move South. His agent has spoken to us, but has also spoken to a number of other clubs, including Arsenal and Southampton. He has family in Bournemouth, so Southampton is obviously the best geographic move for him, but Burnley do not want to release him. Discussions with his agent are continuing but £4m will not be enough.

To spend large in January depends on how much we can get for CMS.

 

[Baaaald]

I would be amazed if that happens for that price. But very happy mind!!!!

 

[ROKERITE]

I think it would take £8,000,000 at least to bring Austin to The Amex; but he'd be a very good signing, even at that price.

 

[Farehamseagull]

I would love this to happen but other than Austin maybe wanting to be back on the south coast, why would he choose to join us instead of all of the other teams he will have the choice of? He will have Premier league and top championship teams after him, we're very much a mid table side.

Nightmare. Would rather 4million went to ANY other club. We would never hear the end of it.

The arranged swap for Hoskins would have worked, only a loon would pay 4million for Murray who is out of contract in 18 months.

Would be a step backwards in his career, surely, non?
