Austin to Southampton

[Kirill]

Starting bid should be £30m! TF's reputation would be all but zero if he sold him for any less!

And I guess we all know what's gonna happen here.

[nasser95]

"Palermo striker Paulo Dybala, who has scored 12 goals in 25 games for the Sicilian club this season, has been valued at £28.5m by the club's president. The 21-year-old has been linked with Barcelona, Juventus, and Manchester United."

If this is a reasonable comparison we should get at least 15m for Charlie.

DIfference is english player going to english club. Austin is worth more because of the homegrown thing

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

£17m

[vblockranger]

£17m

Yer i reckon too around £15million - £20 million

[Shania]

What a negative thread. Not stirring, just a personal view.

He is under contract.

[Shepherds Mush]

If Jordan Rhodes and Ross McCormack are around the £11/12m mark and Danny Welbeck is £16m then we shouldn't accept anything less than £20m.

[kron-1664]

crystal ball out.

If we stay up he will stay
If we go down he will leave

phew , that was difficult

[maidstone_hoop]

for met its all about staying in the prem! If we stay I reckon he will definitely give us atleast 1 more year and sign a new contract enabling us to get a better deal.
If we are relegated and the fact he has only a year left on his contract we will be lucky to get 15 mill imo. Just hope if he goes it is to a club like Southampton where he would thrive and not to a team like palace who are now apparently linked!!

Gotta agree .....we must (the board) price him as to his worth to us, bit like Newcastle did for Carroll. No matter what division we're in

Exactly. If we go down he still has a year and his goals are vital (like Rhodes at Blackburn). Anything less than a top dollar offer and it would be more worthwhile for us to get him to see out his contract in the Championship.

Especially as he wont be going to a top 6 side (unless Saints finish there of course)

[stationcafe]

10-15M & maybe 2-5M add-ons.

Agree about Mc corrmack and Rhodes being over priced , but imo Welbeck was an absolute
snip at 16m , shows the myth about LVG Welbeck or Falcoa who would've been better at Man/u
this season ?

[dave58]

Agree he should not be sold cheap, but we sold remy cheap, would expect in excess of £20M when you think of what some of the others in the prem cost? but knowing our club if we get relegated he'll be sold for around £12M if we stay up should not be sold to anyone other than a top 5 team

[Shania]

He is not for sale. We will NOT go down.

[Shepherds Mush]

Wouldn't it be great though if Austin stayed one more season whatever division we were in so we could build a side that could come back up AND compete....

...apologies, just had a flash of what football used to be like back in the day
