Charlie austin?

[seagullsovergrimsby]

They turned down a bid from Hull the other day of about £650k. Leeds are after him & i've heard Reading are sniffing around him too.

Dull City are expected to make a £1M bid after the £650k offer was turned down flat.

Well, he is exactly the sort of player we need to play off Muzza, unlike Wood...

If the competition to try and sign Austin is going to be fierce why don't we just attempt to nab Le Fondre?

Albion & England forever.

Heard that Scumhampton are preparing to bid around £1.3m to get Austin. Not sure if this is 100% true or not though.

If I have it virtually from the horses mouth that he wouldnt come down south do you think that Gus wouldnt also know that.

Sod Le Fondre. Let's buy the talking horse. He could make us millions to re-invest in players.

Well obviously, but this is the first I have heard of his reluctance to move south...And how can you have it "virtually from the horses mouth"?

He still visits friends just outside of Manchester and occassionally plays for a 5 aside team with his old mates and uses the name Alf. I mentioned this when his name was first mentioned some few months ago and it is from these mates, and a scout for a northern side that this comes. He apparently doesnt like the south or southeners and it would have to be an astonomically good deal for him to consider a move down south. His likely destination is a Championship club possibly in Yorkshire or probably Lancashire.

Leave Fran out of this BOF.

I reckon around £750K and we will not be bidding as we have Barnes, Murray, Wood, Sandaza, Holroyd, Hart to name but a few forwards.

Sandaza will never cut it as a leading scorer. You only have to look at the way he plays. Wood isn't our player, Holroyd needs time and Hart has had his time. That leaves Murray and Barnes. As much as I think Barnes will develop to be a better player, Austin would easily replace him in the starting 11.

Glenn Murray did not like it down south at one time, look at him now!

just a whisper but james beatie? anyone else heard this?

Gonna warm the bench at Southampton with Le Fondre.

 

[Marc]

he did the SPRINKLER DANCE for his first goal celebration today, we should sign him up for that alone!

 

[MrShaun15]

hes worth about 800k

 

[The Hon Sec]

I'm sure they said on the FL show that Austin is the subject of a 2 million bid from Birmingham.

I think I can find this out. I heard this a few seasons ago as well and it was unfounded (apparently we sounded him out and nothing more). Will report back.

 

[The French Mistress]

Sure as hell can't afford Austin after yesterday's performance!

 

[manilaseagull]

Birmingham apparently today offered £2million
