QPR now 2/1 to sign Charlie Austin (skybet)

[SuperHoopNik]

Rumours going around on twitter that we've enquired for him so this makes sense. Also, the £5m we offered Celtic for Hooper was 'apparently' a take it or leave it offer (again, according to twitter) which as we know celtic rejected, and now we're looking at Austin as a replacement.

I noticed on a Celtic board this morning that our bid was worth 'up to £7m' if we went up within two seasons and also had a sell on % clause.

Saw the same figures and posted them on here last night!

The deal allegedly involves Celtic getting a large sell-on percentage if QPR sell him in the future. Another clause in the deal is apparently Celtic will get a significant add-on to the initial fee of £5.3 million if QPR get promoted in the next two seasons, the add-on fee is rumoured to be around £1.5-£2 million.

Darmesh Sheth SSN has just said our bid for Hooper has been accepted and that we are the front runners for his signature, and we want this sorted one way or another by the time our Austria tour has finished

I'd love to know the player you think that will provide all these goals once adel goes?

Also i'll add I have nothing against Faurlin and Jenas however they could be related to the crab family

I do not think this is necessarily incorrect. Our amended offer was apparently 5 million (with add ons) and this was a take it or leave it offer.

Turn it in!

Reason we havent scored so often in the PL is because it is the PL and we have been basically defending for 90mins in virtually every game because we were afraid to attack, get caught and concede. Out of our depth immensely.

In the Championship we'll, hopefully, see a more attacking side. A 4-4-2 with attacking fullbacks in Traore and Simpson ideally.

Theres less to fear in this division, we've seen it all before so lets get out there and start playing!

Can you not see the 'which as we know celtic rejected' part?

Dependent on this medical thing Austin a better bet than Hooper in any case.
