surrifox Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Depends how they spend the money, Austin for benteke isn't bad, then they have an extra 15million + what ever the chairman spends extra for new players think Lerner is looking to flog them - he would presumably not be spending too big if at all
Thracian Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Sets a bad precedent. You cannot do business like that. If we just went in with the offer a club was asking for, we would have to pay the asking price every time, and it would not be long before 5 million was added on to every asking price because clubs would know 'Leicester City always pay the asking price'. Not convinced about that philosophy but it's a long and theoretical argument that doesn't end with any firm answers anyway. I buy and sell intanglibles everyday and often give the asking price. It's undoubtedly true that i could buy some things cheaper but it's also arguable that I get far more opportunities as a result - and therefore better profits in the long run. The psychology of dealing is fascinating.
Stevosevic Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Sky Sports News HQ @SkySportsNewsHQ 1m1 minute ago BREAKING: Sky sources: @NUFC close to signing Serbia striker Aleksandar Mitrović from @rscanderlecht. #SSNHQ Wasn't this their preferred target to Austin?
Stevosevic Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Great signing for them. Belgium is a different beast to the Premier League though.
Heymister2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Great talent! But Austin is proven goal scorer at top level! Remember when he hit 20 goals by November for Burnley!
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 That signing for Newcastle leaves us and palace as the remaining parties who have shown an interest. However, Villa may pursue him after the Benteke deal is complete. From a negotiation point it puts us in a strong ler position to bring the fee down from the £15m QPR are holding out for. This may be the reason for the delay.
4everfox Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if we did sign Austin. Newcastle look like they're going to sign Mitrovic (great signing may I add) and Aston Villa are not going to spend 15 million on Austin. As a matter of fact I'd be willing to bet they go for someone like Adebayor to replace Benteke due to the Sherwood link. Austin to Leicester.
Heymister2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 We already have a mitrovic talent in kramaric! He'd scored 32 goals by January in the Croatian league! £15m for Austin is about write! Arguably England's best striker!
stuartn27 Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 When I saw Austin play the last game of the season down here I thought he looked over weight How many of his goals for QPR where penalties?
Heymister2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 I thought the same! Even more credible scoring that many over weight! Harry Redknapp and his staff are too lazy for a fitness regime to be put in place! He'd be in great shape working with matt reeves etc
Edingleyfox Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 He caused us a lot of trouble in the games last year.Think it would be worth a punt and I don't think it would spell the end for Ulloa.Suspect he will end up in London or Newcastle but he might fancy working alongside Vardy assuming he is not upset about being edged out of the England line up a few weeks ago.Betting still suspended not that they know anything.
Nick Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 I do wonder if Austin is our fail safe if we lose Vardy to Villa after their Benteke departure with cash to burn and time running out in the window.
Wymsey Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Have a feeling he might go to Spurs, if Kane goes to Man Utd.
Nick Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Have a feeling he might go to Spurs, if Kane goes to Man Utd. Funny isn't it, I don't think either player is of the calibre to play for those teams strangely enough. What a difference a year makes.
LCFCtotheprem Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Rumour has it leicester city officials are in Italy! Also, QPR are in Italy, so I reckon it could be over Austin? Unreliable source which is twitter
leftbackinthechangingroom Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Rumour has it leicester city officials are in Italy! Also, QPR are in Italy, so I reckon it could be over Austin? Unreliable source which is twitter They could be there to talk to cambiasso but then again, If (and i hope qwerty is right) cambiasso has already signed maybe he's there to help talk to him? All rumours of course
VLC86 Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Arguably England's best striker! Maybe if you are arguing with a nutcase.
RizLCFC Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Qwerty said we were putting in a second bid this week, has it been made yet?
Ricey Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 Qwerty said we were putting in a second bid this week, has it been made yet? Qwerty also said Cambiasso had signed last week.
Bamba's Babes Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 I find the media coverage of this saga completely laughable. We're the only club to have bid for the player yet other clubs are the ones taking the headlines... How does that work?
daddylonglegs Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 When I saw Austin play the last game of the season down here I thought he looked over weight How many of his goals for QPR where penalties? No way. he's just built like a brick shit house.
artursteppe Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 No way. he's just built like a brick shit house. I commented on it some time ago. He was fat and unfit as we know all QPR players were. But if he can score 18 goals as a fat bastard, maybe with our fitness regime he could do better. ( What would be a worry though is that he could be a lazy bastard and a fat bastard.) I do quite like Ulloa as well though.

Fox92 Posted 21 July 2015 Posted 21 July 2015 When I saw Austin play the last game of the season down here I thought he looked over weight How many of his goals for QPR where penalties? 3 So, taking away penalties, it's still 15 Premier League goals in a totally rubbish team.
