Apart from at Palace, in his loan spells he has still managed about a goal every two games in Championship play. Like Jamie Cureton, still popping them in at 40, he has that knack.

I think it is time to cash in on Austin, if anyone comes in with an offer of 7-8m I would take it. Don't see us anywhere near the play offs with him in the side, or being relegated, even without him in the team,so get the money in now & use it wisely to strengthen the first team. I cant see that his goals for us during the rest of the season will make any difference, we will still be in the SBC next year. Pointless to see him walk away for niche in the summer.
