Charlie Austin closing in on England call-up (D Mail)

[ArthurQPR_NYC]

god, that would be great.

but my word that rag is not worthy of bog roll. last week for the last 2 weeks since the harry/adel blow up, they were constantly reporting that Adel was a shoe in for the subs bench if not surely an appearance!
bottom line: the mail, standard, metro all quote whoever they want.. or no one at all.

Charlie Austin for England?

Judging by the stats Austin should be in the Three Lions sqaud ahead of Rooney, Welbeck and Lambert ...

As much as I like Charlie, I really do despair at these huge contracts being given out for 2 months of good performances. Glad if it happens and I'm sure it wont affect his attitude, but a certain Adel also got a raise to around 50k a week off the back of a couple of decent performances and look what happened to him. His contract runs out in 2016, why not just wait until the end of the season. He wont be able to talk to new clubs until Jan 2016 right?

True, but he doesn't play for Man U, Arsenal or Liverpool.
If he did he would be picked.

Because January's around the corner and he could be swayed by an offer of 60-70k a week from another club...

So whats the point in offering him 50k then? If a player wants to force a move, he'll force a move. Sad but true.

He's being offered more than 50k, but will have to sign a new longer contract, which makes him valuable for longer. The nearer to the end of a contract a player is, the cheaper he can be bought.

Charlie's played well whatever league he's been in and will continue to do so, seems worth it to me. But what do I know???

I wouldn't offer him a new contract just yet, he is not a player that would just leave the club. I think Charlie is loyal and would wait to see what the club has to say as well. I think Woy must have been impressed with what he see.
