One can only dream. There are so many pieces that would have to fall in place for that to happen. The FFP, his wage which is three times what we can maximum offer under our pay structure, our owners willingness to open their purse strings again etc. I could go on.
But if it were to happen it would solve our biggest problem, a regular supply of goals. If the FFP could get resolved and we were able to spend like the more ambitious clubs in the league then it wouldn’t be such a far fetched idea.
Again, one can only dream.

He’d come back and throw his shoulder out again in training, or if we were lucky the first game.
 
The only stumbling blocks to this:

His wages are probably £40k a week above our budget

Southampton would want a loan fee. We have had to slash our budget again this week when we realised we had £24 in old pound coins lying around the box office.

Bigger and richer clubs than us would be in for him (Palace have no strikers, for example)

He probably wouldn't choose to drop to this level again.


Apart from that, let's do it.

According to this site, Charlie is currenty valued at 11.7M GBP. Plus, he has a much larger wage than our current budget. I am sure that we can dream and fantasize, but it is not going to happen.

What we should and hopefully will do, is to to find a "new" Charlie Austin as Burnley successfully did. Then he was value at 90K GBP and bought for a whopping 1,26M GBP. That is feasible and hopefully neither improbable or impossible.
