Pelle will move on in the summer. I think thats pretty much a given.
Would love this deal to happen though if for nothing more than a Lawrenson moment for:

Been asked by a couple of people about Charlie Austin to [HASHTAG]#saintsfc[/HASHTAG] rumours. Do not believe they are in for him.
If this is true guys enjoy hammering Crook's twitter. lol

Can't get on to it.Yep being reported as "breaking" news on SSN
Good news then. Looking forward to his debut.
So this is our one signing of January or do you think there'll be another?
I'm very happy with this either way, he's one of the few natural goalscorers in the country.
I'm very "meh" about the signing as I don't think he is particularly good, but willing to give him a chance and hopefully he can't be as bad as Pelle
The bloke scored 18 goals in a QPR side that went down. I think he's clearly pretty good.
And is this the signing to show Ron we do indeed have ambition and he signs a contract extension ........hope so
£4m more than they would have got for him in the summer though. They could have sold in the summer like we did with Clyne. Presumably they took the gamble of hoping he'd fire them back into the PL at the first attempt, and therefore the money earned by that would more than make up for loss of transfer fee.
Our best January window signing since Sharp?
They plan to play him tied to JRod....2 decent legs between them
I like this signing, he's just what we need I think. I seem to remember that It was in a game against Saints that first caused a dislocated shoulder which has since reoccurred, and apart from that, he hasn't any other fitness issues.
Am a big fan of Charlie, as he is a bustling, hardworking player who can actually convert chances - watch the goals start flying in now (not just from him, but from our midfield too), he will give us a different set up and a different team dynamic.
