We are 1/3 to sign Austin with Stoke 3/1 and Forest 10/1. For Hooper Naaaarch are 4/9 and we are 12/1 and QPR are 14/1.
Charlie Austin is now 1/5 to join City suggesting a deal is as good as done. Hold on to your dosh though - there's no such thing as a dead cert. If only life was as simple as that.
According to the Lancashire Telegraph, Burnley have rejected a bid from Bournemouth for striker Danny Ings because of the situation surrounding Charlie Austin. Sounds like they're going to let him leave, but suggestions that a fee has been agreed are apparently wide of the mark and they're denying we've made a second bid (surely we have?). Interest from Stoke is apparently also media generated and has no substance. Just.....buy him already. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/10522673._/?
Burnley will deny anything at the moment in hope that other Clubs raise the offer. I'm pretty sure there was already a fee agreed but because of outside interest (don't know who), it made Burnley think twice about going through with it. Hopefully, we're the only Club to offer so far and it should be seen through.
Yeah, me too. It's obviously going to be a complicated process, so I hope we're further on with it than the media think.
Apart from Holts age, I agree with ^^^^^ this. Why will we ? We should sign both IF possible. But if Hooper wants to elsewhere then move onto Billy Sharp who is available and so much cheaper. Some Scunny fans rate Sharp better than Hooper anyway and they should know better than any of us. SkyBet have Hull City as 1/5 now. Stoke never were after Austin according to the media in the Potteries. It would not surprise me at all that we are doing just that.
