    Juanmi has been meh lately. Hopefully if he joins he can get his form back.

    I want Austin for one main reason. The following Sun headline:

    "Austin Powers Saints to European Glory!"

    I wasn't suggesting Austin is better than Pelle when I posted those stats, merely that I thought Austin would be a good signing before but now I think he would be an excellent signing.

    Right! That was my point. And in all honesty I think I'm the same. I guess get more excited for the exotic foreigners too.

    If Juanmi signs and he can get his form back you will be excited.

    £5.5m release clause, it's not actually a massive gamble.

    Juanmi isn't a main striker. He can play just behind the main striker or on the wings. He isn't Mane fast but has a good turn of speed. Juanmi is one of those players the balls seems to stick to and has a fair bit of skill. So yeah we will be after a main striker.

    Didn't take it personally ...

    *deep breath*

    * wipes tear*

    I rate him and I haven't seen anyone (I don't think) not rate him, just question the price if it gets too high. Austin would be a good signing. We need more goals. My comments were all about the English bit and that it doesn't bother me either way. :)

    As I asked earlier FLT, what would be the maximum you would pay?

    I've read a few posts above and want to clarify something:

    Does anyone on this thread not rate Austin or think he would be a good signing?

    I can't see anyone who doesn't think he's be a good signing. Are we causing a storm in a tea cup here?

    I'd like us to get him for 10M. I'd be happy to pay more, but that would depend on how much that eats into the budget against the number of players we need to get to have a large enough squad (I did mention this earlier).

    What I mean by that is I don't want us to for example spend 15M on Toby, 15M on Charlie if that then meant we'd only be able to say spend another 10M on a CM and that would be it, as I think we need at least 5 players in and this depends on how many go.

    Any idea on what we have to spend?

    Fair enough, I agree to be fair I would be happy to pay £15m for Austin but not sure if that's over half our budget, like you say we don't really know though.

    He's a bit like Ayoze Perez or someone like that.
