I have always said that Austin is not a top six Prem striker but he should be able to get in a team below (Stjoke/West Ham/Everton) however it seems only the relegation fodder are interested. Saying all that, a flip side to your argument is just because you come from abroad and have a foreign name doesn't mean you should cost twice as much as Austin, especially when you don't score as many goals (Benteke/Berhino). Maybe the shoulder thing or his stats? something we are all missing. Anyway get back to France.
It would for me, Murray is a horrible cheat of a player. On foreign players, did I see right that City have paid £55m for de Bruyne? He's a good player but has gone for massively inflated fees for his whole career. Nuts.
SKY BET UPDATE Is Charlie Austin the answer to Manchester United's problems? The QPR striker has been cut from 33/1 to 5/2 by Sky Bet today to move to Old Trafford.
Is that the same sky bet who suspended betting on Michael Laudrup being named R's manager? He's not really Utd level is he? Just hope if he does stay, he hasn't begun to believe all the exaggerated hype and get too big for his boots. He seems fairly well grounded though.
Now 8/11 to go to Utd and the internet has gone into complete meltdown! Rumours that he is due to go there and have a medical, could be that a fake twitter account has started a snowball but could also be some truth!

Is this all off the back of Gary Neville saying he'll be staggered if Utd don't sign a striker before the deadline?
