Charlie Austin £12m bid rejected

Recommended Posts

Charlie Austin will never score 18 Premier League goals in one season again would be my guess. Undoubtedly a Premier League quality player but he isn't good enough to consistently score that amount season after season, he isn't Michael Owen. I certainly don't think he is worth 15 million, I think his true market value is closer to half of that.

Disagree, the lad is a natural goalscorer. Scored bags full at every level he's played at.

He's definitely capable of a similar amount. A lot of his goals were quality. There wasn't many scruffy finishes or lucky bounces in there. Even the one he scored against us on the final day was a quality header into the corner. Kasper had no chance. Then there was that Bergkamp-esque goal against Southampton. He's a fine player with a good attitude and a great goalscoring records. In my opinion, the only striker you can get for less than £20m who is guaranteed goals.

The fee is on the hefty side but looking at the market, you have to expect that. His current wage is about average for a Premier League player and he'll obviously want a decent increase but it won't be stupid money.

I think a lot of people dont realise how much the tv money has inflated the markets now.

true imagine how much he will be worth if he gets 15 next season

Exactly. Austin for £15m is a steal in comparison. Just get him in.

I couldn't agree more. If he was worth 12 then he's worth 15

Haha, as much as i know where you're coming from, it makes no literal sense. My house is up for 200k so hopefully someone will offer me 250k

He's probably worth 12m but 15m is high he's injury prone and got a bad knee.

 

Out of contract in a year.

Think any deal will involve nugent

 

On his wages !? QPR cannot afford him.

Hoping we make a move on this soon. Whoever bids first is going to cause another team or two to get in there. Sooner the better. 12m plus Nuge hopefully would do it

Quality goalscorer but will he fit our style of play - hardworking. I don't know is he a hard worker? Maybe not and that is why the bid went in for him after NP left?

Austin looked flabby last year like all the QPR players, but that could mean if he got as fit as our boys he might be even better. I do not want Ulloa to go, he will definitely get better.

For me we can't have Ulloa and Austin in the same squad.

So if it's Austin in then it's Ulloa out to fund it.

Now Wood is gone I can see why we are looking for another 'big' striker. But yes Ulloa and Austin would both want to be first choice so maybe C. Cole would be the alternative as a 'squad player'
