QPR table bid for Burnley striker Austin

[Rieger]

Oh great................wonder if the clubs scouts have thought about going to A & E must be some great talent available there

Snotted onto my shirt laughing

[Shania]

Wonder what he failed medical for. Early reports said problem with his shoulder but since seen somewhere it was his knee.

There were also other suggestions mentioned.

[72bus]

good signing but only if he is fit , we wouldn't buy another crock would we

Was definitely his knee, Steve Bruce confirmed that to the press!

What do you think they've been doing... A & E is the best place to go.

[Askew Ranger]

He's ok but a huge step down from Hooper... have to say I agree with Dave Mc on this one (but then what do i know).
Just watch his goals from last year - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_q_tFr9mwU . He's ok, gets lucky a lot, bundles the ball in.
He's a big lad who'll do alright but may not be good enough in the long run.
Will support him and hope he gets the goals to get us up, but definitely a short term solution

I read somewhere it was Peruvian flu problems...

You don't get lucky scoring 72 goals in 136 appearances in the football league!

I don't care if he bundles the ball home, that's exactly what we need.

Dont listen to everything Dave Mc says. Its not a huge step down atal, Austin banged in a shed load of goals in the league that we will be playing in this year. I would of loved Hooper but its not the end of the world and Austin would be more than adequate.

[Shepherds Mush]

Its nowhere near a huge step down from Hooper. Similar players with similar ability if you ask me.

Until he gets drug tested

[stainrod10]

Cue the ITK brigade saying Austin is 100% done/medical right now/at HQ as we speak for days on end before he ends up at Palace.
