Austin

Guess you could say that, but he is 10 times a better player then Leigertwood

Sounds good.

Really rated him a few years ago as a huge talent. Stoke tried to sign him in 2007 but couldn't get a work permit. But he hasn't really developed and improved last 2 seasons. This could be down to the fact that he's been playing for a crap team and has had to change positions all the time(from central mid to centre half). He's got tremendous workrate, strong as an ox, decent technique, his game readability is good...damn he actually sounds good

He lacks composure and will get a lot of cards in the championship. The positive is that he is coachable, and if Warnock rates him he can turn him into a very good player. That said, I think we should aim higher

Oh the Irony of it....
Carew still in the premiership , and you advocate this huge talent by backing up that none other than STOKE tried to sign him...
Gotta love you Frode

As you say, he was much better under the guidance of Mons I. Mjelde. Hence, I sometimes wonder if there could be a chance that Warnock might help Austin finding back to his best in a def. midfield position or more importantly help him finding a bit more composure in his play. He can be used ass a fullback as well.
YouŽll never know.
I agree we should aim higher, but not just for the sake of it.

Don't tell me you can't see the difference between a 22 year(back then) old Jamaican and an overated/past it/looking for last pay day-striker taking a big step down the ladder?
