QPR matched the £4m we'd agreed.
DQPR agreed a fee of £2.25m upto £4m subject to appearances and goals during his time @ Dqpr.
Like i said, imo I bet Hull City would have taken a gamble on Austin on the same terms.

It was an undisclosed fee, but was reported by everyone as being £4m, just £500k less than we'd agreed.
I'm so glad, in hindsight, that we didn't get Austin.
Some am i actually. Once that knee goes he is finished.
It's all well and good people talking about who we would like to see up front for City but, has anybody thought about who will leave. Huddlestone has put his name in the shop window big time, and i would hate to see either he, or Livermore leave. Hopefully they don't but someone might come along at the deaths nell and whisk them away from us. That is the worrying thing
Not because of the knee, but because we went on to use that £4.5m towards getting Thudd...
If we had got Austin, we would not have got Thudd.
Well for starters we don't own Livermore but have first right to him in the summer, so not concerned there. And strongly doubt Huddlestone would leave 6 months into a sucessful contract.
If 1 of the big 4 came knocking on his door Syd, I doubt that he would hang around
In the London press it was reported as £2.25m going upto £4m subject to appearances and goals.

If he signed tomorrow could we play him against Chelsea?
Yep, the deadline for transfers is usually the night before.
