QPR’s Charlie Austin - staying or going? Chris Ramsey reveals all 22:28, 13 March 2015 By Paul Warburton Rs coach on top scorer's future He said: “When somebody sparkles at bigger or smaller clubs, there’s always going to people in there to poach them or to buy them and make their clubs better. “So we would be foolish not to be worried we’re going to lose him. We hope we don’t, and we’re glad he’s performed in a way that other teams are trying to secure his services. He’s one of the top strikers, it’s not my decision whether he stays or goes, but any top striker always goes for top dollar.” Rangers would look to top the £28 million Manchester City paid for Wilfried Bony if the worst came to the worst, and Ramsey was in doubt what anybody would be getting for a former bricklayer who came through football the hard way. “If you know the boy, you know he’s a whole-hearted footballer,” the coach added.

If you saw him saving one off the line the other day against Tottenham, he’s relentless in his pursuit to get better. “To his credit he hasn’t thrown the towel in. When you do score that amount of goals, sometimes in some clubs people do throw the towel in with the thought there are better and bigger things at the end of the season. "He’s still playing like he’s trying to prove himself.”
I like the way that Sir Alf gets the subject out there, up front, on the table. No double talk. It's refreshing.
Think we are all resigned to losing Charlie at the end of the season, whatever league we end up in. In my eyes he will be in that group of Rangers legends who I have felt proud to watch. Look forward to seeing Charlie giving his all for his country very soon.
Charlie has been fantastic for us and he will no doubt get an England cap or three. I don't see him as a regular International player, but I hope we get absolutely top dollar for him when we lose him.
