Personally I think this waiting game is a bit of a cheek on Charlie's part. The club should bow to the inevitable and get on with selling Austin so we can bring in a replacement as soon as possible.

Disagree. Let's get the two international games over. If he plays, his value will go up. If he scores, his value will rise even further. Yes he's thinking of himself - what player in his position wouldn't? But he's not trying to mess us around, he's just being honest about his call up being really important to him.

Also carrying his shoulder condition, he might be thinking that the rigours of another season in the Championship, with more games, much more bump & grind compared to the Premier League, might be harder on his body.

Probably true, but depends on the club, I wouldn't say Palace would be a higher profile, or even yourselves, but at the same time I would say we are very 'in' at the moment in the media etc. our stock has never been higher, think a lot of players see us as an attractive proposition and a good stepping stone to the big clubs. Not sure Spurs will be that interested with Kane, West Ham possibly and could probably pay higher wages than us, another reason for us to want to get it done early <ok>

I hope he goes to you, your lot seem like a nice bunch and I think he would do well for you

Yeah.... don't mention the shoulder thing. I'm sure it's fine, but we don't want people remembering he had time out over that... ;)

I have said all along his best destination would be Saints. His family are settled in the south and he would be mad to move up to Scotland (Newcastle). Reckon Spurs would also be interested as would West Ham. No disrespects to Southampton but a London club would be a higher profile for a player.

Agree with this - Newcastle are a basket case as well at the moment while Saints are now well run, and being a Southerner I'd expect him to stay south and not move up North (Winter is Coming after all!!)

Just a feeling I have. Sorry if I've got your hearts racing, but it fits. They need a lead striker, Austin wouldn't need to move his family.

Here's what Jack Sullivan, the son of West Ham co-owner David Sullivan says.
"We expect a major player signing this week, I'll update you as soon as its done."

Thought? Else than me being a knob :angel:

I think he would actually suit WH quite well.

Charlie might feel somewhat at home in a Burnley like claret & blue shirt. Maybe they would give us Andy Carroll in part exchange?

They are announcing their new manager this week, if it's Redkrapp then Charlie would be on his list...
 
Charlie would be a good pairing with Carroll [assuming he can stay fit] I also heard a rumour that Carlton Cole could be coming to us, hope it is just a rumour.

Sod that they ripped us off with Sinclair and we got those 3 players in exchange (who i can't remember now)

We got Iain Dowie whose legs were shot (and almost immediately became coach and then a hopeless manager) and Keith Rowland who was totally effective, plus about £2 m.

We were mugged by WHU then, so let's not see it happen again

Rowland that was it! Did we not also get the goal keeper Miklosko?
