Charlie Austin -

[ArcticHoop]

Just as long as Fernandes leads by example and quits it first.

If he don't quit,he will be fined for two weeks wages

Pretty sure he doesn't play for us

[ArthurQPR_NYC]

les is on talk sport atm and just said anyone who wants him will have to atleast be looking to part with 15-20 mill if they want to take him from is for next season.


Also says all players to be banned from Twitter next year.

hallelujah! all good news.
if it means Le Joey is leaving with the twitter ban, all the better. good riddance.
at todays prices we'd be daft to part with charlie for less than 15mil

Les will sort us out.

out of interest, does anyone else know if any other english clubs have a ban on twitter for the squad?

[ArthurQPR_NYC]

Sounds promising but talk is cheap. Lets see how the summer pans out. Personally reckon the fee will be undisclosed (like a lot are nowadays) to save any backlash from the fans. just hope they dont play games all summer trying to get the highest possible price and then he ends up leaving on deadline day leaving us to scramble around at the last minute.

call me hopeful i dont care. but for what its worth, charlie has stated publicly that he wont leave unless asked to, aka the club sells at the minimum asking price.

He could always sign a new contract if he really wanted to stay

[Stanley]

That means Joey's leaving......

Or staying and that's why Twitter ban

You'd have to shoot him to keep him off. He'd never- rightly- accept that.

(As mentioned on the other thread) Les never said players will be banned from Twitter. He said they can tweet about themselves but if they tweet about the club they'll be fined. Quotes have been twisted as usual to make bigger headlines.

I never heard les say it would cost 15-20m to get Austin , I heard Les say thats what he's worth but are we in a strong enough position to get what He's worth

He said yesterday a club would have to at least be looking to part with 15-20 mill on talk sport to get Charlie.

[brumqpr]

Can't see clubs spending 15-20 million on Charlie, he has had his injury problems, failed a medical before he signed for us. He has one year left on his contract, thinks clubs will wait to see what happens. If in January he has ripped apart the Championship and has not signed a contract, it will be a 5 million fee.

[Cjskinz]

If we can get £10 million for him now take it. We could get 3 decent young championship players for that much.

If he wants to move to play premiership football then he should, he deserves it and doesn't owe us anything like most of the squad. If he wanted to stay he would have signed a contract extension months ago anyway

[maidstone_hoop]

Championship players are much more expensive nowadays then people realise. To get two decent players for 10 mill you would be lucky.

We been linked with Antonio from Forrest whose got a 5/6 mill price tag, Rhodes, gestede, Gayle, Afobe will all be 6 mill plus at least.

Charlie's surely worth 15 mill. The worst thing to happen would be we don't sign him which could actually help us get promoted. Charlie's goals could easily see us promoted again. Even if we lost him on a free we'd be quids in.

Thats if he doesnt get seriously injured which isnt completely out of the question with him. Also isnt the point of this new chapter that Les, TF etc are talking about is that we need to rebuild and be ready for the prem next time so keeping Charlie to fire us up next year and then him leaving on a free would lead us back to the problem of being unprepared/not ready for the prem. IF Charlie's plans are to leave us in the near future and we are serious on taking a new approach and rebuilding etc. then it makes sense to sell Charlie and start this new chapter asap.

Also not too sure about some of your valuations on those players, I reckon we could get 2 of those for £10 mill.
