Well it looks like Chas will not be signing for West Ham... Charlie Austin is not worth £15m, he didn’t even keep QPR up - West Ham chief David Sullivan please log in to view this image West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan believes that the east London club cannot afford to take a £15m 'gamble' on Charlie Austin this summer. The striker has been strongly linked with a move away from Loftus Road in the wake of Queens Park Rangers' relegation from the Premier League but Chris Ramsey's side have stood firm on their valuation of the 26-year-old. The Hammers are one of several sides that are interested in the English forward, but Sullivan is adamant that Slaven Bilic's side cannot afford to risk a large chunk of their budget on a player that still has question marks over his fitness. "Firstly, we haven't got £15m to spend under the Fair Play rules. Secondly, he [Austin] failed a medical at Hull a couple of years ago. They say he has no ligaments in his knee, who knows? To sign a £15m is a big risk. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/foo...-west-ham-chief-david-sullivan-a2917861.html? And this is funny, Chas tweeted something that may have been aimed at Sullivan in response to his put down... Charlie Austin posts cryptic tweet, fans believe it's aimed at David Sullivan QPR forward Charlie Austin has taken to Twitter yet again with a cryptic tweet. And supporters have perceived it as a jibe at West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan. Indeed, Sullivan has recently spoken about the QPR forward and West Ham fans understood Austin's tweet to be aimed at him. please log in to view this image Charlie Austin ✔@chazaustin9 The cheeky .............. 11:37 AM - 20 Aug 2015 http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2015/08/2...cryptic-tweet-west-ham-fans-believe-its-aim/?
Charlie, just in case you're reading this. Stay at QPR and you have the chance to be a QPR legend even if we only make it to the playoffs. A legend in your own lifetime - how cool is that?
I hope he doesn´t go to WHU, I used to like them as most of the guys I used to play football with were fans but they lost their ´attractive´ football tag like us many years ago and their owners are pretty unsavoury characters as well. Stay with us Charlie you know it makes sense!!
I feel I have no option but to address the inaccurate, misleading and uninformed innuendo about my physical condition that has been raised today by an individual who is not privy to my personal health history. It is one of a number of inaccurate reports about my so-called injury problems which have been made over the summer. For the record, there is nothing wrong with my “ligaments”, as has been suggested. My strength and performance in pre-season has been excellent and with two goals in my last two games I don't think there is any doubt that my match sharpness is as good as ever. I scored 18 goals in the Premier League last season, which would not be possible were I feeling discomfort or pain. Like many professional footballers, I have the legacy of injuries picked up over my career but the effect on my day-to-day training and on matchday is non-existent. For a senior figure at a Premier League club to insinuate that I could break down at any moment is an outrageous slur on my professionalism and the work that has gone into making me the footballer than I am today. I am fit, strong and looking forward to Saturday’s home game against Rotherham.
I think Charlie might score more goals in one season for West Spam than that great signing of theres, Andy Caroll has in 3 seasons with them, 14 total.

Gold wants Austin, Sullivan doesn't. So Sullivan tries to scupper any possibility of a move by slurring Austin. Who would want to work for a nasty, slimy pornographer like Sullivan anyway? Steer clear, Charlie. If you go, go anywhere but there.
