cHARLIE aUSTIN

[El Guepardo]

I think he could do a job for us.

Definitely. Will depend if he's happy coming off the bench.

 

[Nigeyman]

dont see why we couldnt play Charlie up top, with Kane in the no 10 position & Eriksen at cm.

 

[Daisuk]

I think he'd be a really good signing. The guy can't stop scoring. His stats are pretty amazing, and he's played for some awful teams.

Exactly - good age and fantastic scoring record. To be honest would rather have him come off the bench for Kane than Berahino, especially when we have now gone a long way to solve our lack of pace with Clint and Son. Plus, if we're playing against two banks of four, Austin with Kane just behind, sounds more enticing than Kane with Berahino. Plus we could get it done by Sunday if we wanted - at half the price. And he will retain a decent market value if we need to shift him in a couple of years time.

Good hold up play, unselfish and hardworking . As of now I am hoping we get him and berahino as options .

Apparently signing for Man Utd

That's what I've heard too, heard that he's having a medical tomorrow.

 

[diego_maradona]

Underwhelming signing for United if true. This is what Woodward considers bigger than Pedro?

 

[Rorschach]

Backup to Rooney I suppose. Rooney was poor again today so maybe Austin will take his spot .

Anyway if it rules them out of a transfer for Berahino then that's one less thing we have to worry about.

Daily mail linking United with martial now . Really hope they don't sign this lad

Offered basically double what we have, honestly how desperate has this club become, it's embarassing

Man United are very desperate, but sadly have the financial clout to back that desperation up.

They are getting as bad as L'pool, throwing money around with no real plan.

And a manager who I don't think will be around much longer

I agree and said as much before the season started. Fergie must be crying over what has happened to his team.

arr you kidding, it was his sheer brilliant management/reputation that won them the title in his last year with the average squad he had. i never liked him but he was a managerial genius in how he managed to extract 10, 20, 30% extra from players.

The squad needed rebuilding big time but the way Utd have gone about it has been a monumental shambles

 

[NaijaSpurs]

He is 26 years old and scored 18 goals in 36 league matches last season, we need a striker and he is available for £15m, just sayng

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Heard yesterday that Austin going nowhere, but take that with a pinch of salt!

Maybe that points to the storys going around that he has a injury problem and is a risk.

Or QPR are paying him a fortune in wages that along with the injury worries just doesn't equate to a good deal.

I still like him as a player though.
