    His dad only cost 6 million dollars ( admittedly it was some years ago) so if we offered twice that we should get him.

    Austin will be a bench warmer at Chelski, nothing more. But he will almost certainly win something and no doubt will be on big wages and he can remain in London. No brainer from his point of view as long as he doesn't mind splinters in his arse..

    I'm not sure. Austin tweeted cryptically about 45 mins ago. Deleted soon after. Then that tweet appeared. It could be bollocks. It's QPR's football social account. Their fans will probably know more.

    What will be most encouraging if it's true, more than even having the player, is that we have stated a target and then gone out and got it over the line in a fairly simple process. That alone would signal an improvement.

    I think this might actually have legs for once.

    so worst case scenario we stick it at centre-back and it's an improvement on willo!

    Do you think the tweet was about the Chelsea rumour or us?

    If we can pull this one off I honestly think he will do really really well for us.

    Your humour is lost on most of the users on here but I thought it was funny! Or maybe it shows our age. The series finished 37years ago!

    I don't rate Austin at all tbh, such a step down ability-wise compared to Mitrovic:eek:

    I wish we would buy some center-halfs already, as that's the most important squad position that needs replacing.

    £15m for Austin or £12m if you take Caulker too.

    Twitter starting to go wild - that we've agreed a fee of £15 mil. Noone can provide a source though
