bald reynard Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Off to Sean Dyche's Burnley. Are they a different club to the Burnley who are in the Championship WITH QPR ! There's no way he'll go to another Championship club. I know Burnley have got a bit of dosh from the Ings sale and Austin was previously there (and apparently enjoyed his time there); but, a) QPR won't want to sell to rivals, b) he and the club will get more money from a Premiership club, c) Austin has said he'd rather stay in London or the SE and d) he'd only really want to move to a Premiership club (there's no sense in moving to the Championship - especially as he's already there). Some club like Spurs, West Ham - or even Bournemouth (as quoted) - will get him for around £15m.
Finnaldo Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 I honestly think Okazaki looks a better player based on what I've seen so far. Got more to his game. Different kind of player in my opinion, maybe not better generally but Okazaki is a lot more lethal in our system and philosophy than Austin could be.
Spudulike Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Off to Sean Dyche's Burnley. Seems they prefer Andre Gray .... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34017194 £9m ??
RedSoxUK Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Seems they prefer Andre Gray .... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34017194 £9m ?? ****ing Burnley, market leaders.
ARM1968 Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Wouldn't want to lose any of our forwards for Austin. Still wouldn't mind him in the squad.
m4DD0gg Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 A signing like this would certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons
Leicesterpool Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Seems they prefer Andre Gray .... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34017194 £9m ?? Surprised about that, Burnley is a bigger club yeah but if I was Andre I'd stuck around until a premier league comes along, he's got a lot of talent that lad.
tylesta Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Seems they prefer Andre Gray .... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34017194 dyche has made himself look a very stupid £9m ??
pSinatra Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Burnley should have spent some money last year.........but got Boyd instead & went down
Heymister2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Competed very well though just signing Boyd! Just shows how poor the premiership is compared to what people think! Burnley should be lucky hitting double figures if the league is as strong as people make out!

Burnley should be lucky hitting double figures if the league is as strong as people make out!Not at all... they finished second in the championship and still had 3 or 4 players good enough at the level, but finished bottom
johnny the fox Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Dyche will not open his purse without a machine gun at his head...if I didn't know better I would think he was a Jock..
dedlock Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 He'll end up at West ham or Spurs!... ....or join the Watford collection?
Heymister2015 Posted 21 August 2015 Posted 21 August 2015 they had a shit team and hit 30 points! Relegation was inevitable! But that many points with a shit team in a supposedly amazing league is pretty impressive
Hack Posted 25 August 2015 Posted 25 August 2015 Seriously, why is this even a thing!! Austin isn't coming here. I don't get the fixation with him by many on here. We have depth at Striker and even if we were to being in a new one I don't think he would be considered.
Stuntman_Mike Posted 26 August 2015 Posted 26 August 2015 Based on Ulloa's performance last night, GET HIM IN. We need a player with presence up front and his all round game would suit us. We won't be able to rely on Shinji and Vardy all season.

We won't be able to rely on Shinji and Vardy all season. Your basing him on a cup game against lower league opposition as opposed to being our top goal scorer last season against premiership opposition? Without his goals we would have gone down, simple as. Dont be such a moron

Without his goals we would have gone down, simple as. Dont be such a moron Well no. I'm basing it on his work rate and how he slows down play, doesn't win enough challenges and doesn't to me, suit our energetic and counter attacking system/style. This isn't an over reaction to an underwhelming performance against lower league opposition, this is just my opinion on him over all. He might have been our top scorer last season but that doesn't mean we can't improve on him. ''Without his goals we would have gone down, simple as. Dont be such a moron'' - Is it really that simple yeah? We didn't stay up because of his goals, you know there was far more to it than that.
st albans fox Posted 26 August 2015 Posted 26 August 2015 Sadly, Leo, like nuge, is not going to be able to perform (consistently and reliably) at the level we want to play at. I'm not convinced that Austin would either.
hornyhollthefox123 Posted 26 August 2015 Posted 26 August 2015 How can people say Leo can't perform consistently at this level? You do realise he has played 1 full season for a side battling relegation and scored 11! Not bad for someone who 'slows play down and lacks work ethic'. How can people write him off?! He'll be important again this season and I guarantee he will score important goals if / when he plays. He may have been a bit rusty against bury but normally his first touch is good, he's tidy and links play largely pretty well. Defensively from set pieces he's integral for us and then his chance conversion rate is exceptional. Outside the top 4 tell me a target man you would rather have for under £10m? Absolutely no one. Get off his back and support him when he does get a chance!!

MGLCFC Posted 26 August 2015 Posted 26 August 2015 This in spades. Now Nugent has gone Ulloa has become the new hate figure. It's a toss up between him, Benny and De Laet. Pathetic really.
Bamba's Babes Posted 26 August 2015 Posted 26 August 2015 Sell Ulloa for £9m to Bristol and buy Austin for £15m. Good business.
