'Pool, Newcastle, Scum, WHU, Saints, Villa, Spurs, Palace all interested in Charlie..

No i get that mate, my point is the clubs offering are going to know he will want to play at the highest level, and the very fact we went down will mean they will get him at a lower price than if we had stayed up.

But I think that is offset by the fact that so many clubs are in for him which is likely to lead to a bidding war; and that suits us just fine as we can sell to the highest bidder.

We don't actually know that all these clubs are in for him though, or if it's just paper talk again.
I don't think there has been an official bid for Austin yet ?
I wonder if clubs maybe prepared to wait another year, then sign him for free instead.

Doesn't this constitute tapping up - assuming no fee has been agreed with us - or does that not apply in the last year of a player's contract?

In today's Standard:

"Mourinho wants £15M Austin"

Probably, if there were any truth in it, which I doubt.

Looks like the club are holding firm which will eliminate teams like Newcastle. Can see West Ham really upping the anti soon.

That's great news.

[Shania]

If he goes I wouid like us to get a fee and players in return. Not sure QPR would like it that way.

[MaineHoopsFan]

Maybe Chelsea will do a player swap for Remy :P

[Harryboy]

Liverpool are being well stubborn about sterling, they have turned down 40m
