Ozwin Posted 22 July 2015 Posted 22 July 2015 It's like when you play FIFA/PES against your mate and he shoots from all over the pitch. Then at half time the shot stats are like 5/289 in their favour and they think they're battering you. That's QPR.
Mint23 Posted 22 July 2015 Posted 22 July 2015 As much as I rate him and would love to have him here I just don't think we need him, we've already got Kram, Vardy, Ulloa, Okazaki with Nuge/ Mahrez playing in the hole. Personally I'd have rather signed Austin than Okazaki but it's too late for that now so let's spend the money on some top quality full backs and a couple of midfielders
Wymsey Posted 22 July 2015 Posted 22 July 2015 If they signed Austin then Ulloa would be sold. I don't think Ulloa will be. He's one of our most dangerous when it comes to height attributes (such as heading etc).
Molly Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 I don't think Ulloa will be. He's one of our most dangerous when it comes to height attributes (such as heading etc). But he has serious interest. I can't see them Selling Vards. Okazaki isn't going anywhere, Nugent, great as he is, hasn't had people sniffing around and I can't see them letting The marvel Mahrez go.
Stevosevic Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 "@SportsBreakfast: Kevin Phillips believes Leicester City may not bid for Charlie Austin again following the arrival of Claudio Ranieri http://t.co/znJL15CAPU"
RowlattsFox Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 I can see this going to deadline day, have a bad start and we'll probably bid for him. Isn't he out of contract next summer? Why pay £15m for him now, clubs might wait until January and see where they are. They'll probably accept a lower price then.
thybluefox Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Is this 'Kevin Philips' ITK?! Yeh, what's his source? He know shitall.
Fox 4 Life Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 I honestly think Striker should be the least of our worries, Kram and Okazaki should be given the chance to shine. MIDFIELD CLAUDIO, MIDFIELD!
davieG Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Leicester City Transfer News: Kevin Phillips says City unlikely to try again to sign Charlie Austin By Mercury_Sport | Posted: July 23, 2015 Charlie Austin (right) is unlikely to be joining England team-mate Jamie Vardy at Leicester City, says coach Kevin Phillips Comments (0)Leicester City are unlikely to try again to sign Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin, City coach Kevin Phillips has said. City have had a £12 million offer rejected for the 26-year-old and a host of other Premier League clubs are said to be interested in taking Austin now QPR have been relegated. Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, Crystal Palace and Newcastle United have been linked with a move but Phillips told Talksport this morning City were unlikely to join them. "Charlie Austin would be an attractive proposition for any club, but we have five very good strikers here already," said Phillips. "I think having six would be a bit too much." City have added Japan international Shinji Okazaki to their ranks this summer and new City boss Claudio Ranieri already has David Nugent, Jamie Vardy, Andrej Kramaric and Leonardo Ulloa to call upon. City have also been linked with Algeria international Islam Slimani.

Has there actually been a single official comment that we actually made a bid?
Bamba's Babes Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 So basically he said nothing about us bidding or that we did bid. Has there actually been a single official comment that we actually made a bid? Les Ferdinand confirmed the bid. Judging by Ramsay's comments today, Charlie isn't up for coming to Leicester so duck the greasy hair mongrel.
Liamlcfc1 Posted 23 July 2015 Posted 23 July 2015 Have we put in fresh bid for Nicky Maynard yet? 9 million ITK
MikeyT Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 AUSTIN WANTS TOP HALF From SSN QPR manager Chris Ramsey admits Charlie Austin is likely to leave the club this summer, but is aiming for a team in the top half. Relegated Rangers have already turned down big-money bids and are holding out for more than £15million for the 26-year-old striker. Ramsey told talkSPORT: "We have to be realistic. It's unlikely he'll stay. We want to keep him but it's unlikely. "He's aiming to go to a team that's in the top half of the table, if he doesn't then he could stay."

Unless he wants top half team on the bench most weeks!
Wymsey Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Probably be Spurs. They're trying to sell Adebayor and Soldado.
ARM1968 Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Rather have Austin than Slimani. Just bung a decent bid in. £13.5 mill will get him imho.
Vodka_and_charlie Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Rather have Austin than Slimani. Just bung a decent bid in. £13.5 mill will get him imho. Pretty sure it said QPR are holding out for more than £15 million?
Fox 4 Life Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Rather have Austin than Slimani. Just bung a decent bid in. £13.5 mill will get him imho. Haha which part of top 10 and £15m doesn't make sense?
ARM1968 Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Their financial fair play commitments. He's an asset they have to cash in on. Doubt they'll get £15 mil.
Guest kristianity77 Posted 24 July 2015 Posted 24 July 2015 Their financial fair play commitments. He's an asset they have to cash in on. Doubt they'll get £15 mil. They probably will when it comes to the crunch, it just won't be us that bids it. We seem to offer way under the asking price of what clubs value players at, then walk away wandering why we didn't get anywhere.
