I don't see how the club can afford to spurn the opportunity to cash in on Austin. The only possible justification would be a gamble on going straight back up, and that is a very big long-shot.

I actually don't think it's a that much of a risk to keep him unless we get the right money in.

If he goes we're still going to have to fork out the majority of what we receive on a replacement(s) + he's probably not the highest earning as we got when in the Champ. If we keep & do well then although a long shot does give us more chance of challenging for promotion & if not then still think we would find someone prepared to pay £6m in January as clubs trying to ensure survival.

If he wants to go to them good luck to him......

Thought it was funny that Newcastle believe that offering him the No 9 shirt will convince him to go there......following in the great No 9's that Newcastle have had, Wynne Davis, Malcolm McDonald, Shearer and erm.......

I agree with this; apart from his goals last season we should all remember that it was his goals (until he got injured) that effectively got us up the year before.

If the aim is to bounce back then we should not take less than 12 million in my opinion. Of course the key thing is- does he really want to move on? No point keeping a player if his mind is elsewhere.

The aim us to bounce back. They said it. Just wrapped it up in the boring brown paper for the patients.

And I read everywhere we are demanding £15 million. Why would we take £12 before January?

Agree half theses stories are made up with no substance or fact. Why can't journalists just write facts instead of all this rubbish? People will believe this and start posting it around and then others will miss interpret it and so on, causing unnecessary unrest. I have heard that before?

It's a conspiracy, I tell ya <laugh><laugh><laugh>
 
I hope this gets sorted sooner than later. What we don't want is him apparently staying with us and then at the deadline a last-minute desperation bid leaves us f*cked as with Remy last season...

What a great move that was for him, sat on the bench for most of the season. Money before football in that order.

I think it's a case of fans believe what they want to believe. If these journos write that we are signing so and so and that player would be good for QPR, we'd all believe it. Cherry picking info to suit is what most fans do.
This thing about Charlie wants to leave quickly is not what fans want to hear so dismiss it as rubbish.

Hope most of the posters on here aren't involved in jobs where they are required to negotiate?!

We set a price that we think he's worth. His age, his goals and his character mean £15m is a sensible asking price.

Someone will blink first.

We don't need to deal, our hand will only get stronger.

Between now and end of transfer window, any money we get for Sterling, Fer, Caulker or more wages off books like Green will only improve our negotiating position.

Norwich stood their ground with Fer and got their cash in the end. Stand our ground and someone will pay the money.

He's on the wages he signed for from Burnley and he will contribute if he stays. Stand our ground, and no need for last minute deals unless we have a replacement like Remy as there is no clause like that

Fine as long as we get a replacement/ good back up in before our eyes have started to water through not blinking and there's nothing good left on the shelf.

You've changed your tune. This is what you said last week when I suggested on another thread the sale would go through late......
Disagree.
18 goal a season proven premier league strikers aren't a common thing.
These clubs also have their own reasons for wanting the deal done as soon as possible.
If the try a stand off they could be left without those goals till January by which time damage to their season could be done
