The Austin Auction begins...

[Kirill]

If nobody wants to pay fifteen million he will go for less, its really that clear cut im afraid dave,

Afraid so and looked pretty obvious from the start, 10 million.

Why if he is still under contract?

Why if he is still under contract?

Because players in demand will always find a way out.

I think the bold fifteen statement by the club has ensured we get about twelve now mate.

Hope board will stick to that 15 million asking price and even set a deadline,that if Charlie is still here when season starts,then he will stay here at least until january

This paragraph says it all..

"With only Sergio Aguero, Harry Kane and Diego Costa ahead of Austin in last season’s Premier League scoring chart, QPR believe their valuation of Austin is fair.

Aguero, Kane and Costa would all fetch well over £30m, while Aston Villa are demanding £32.5m for Christian Benteke, who scored five fewer goals than Austin."

I hope the club aren't influenced by Austin's unnecessary panic and stick to their guns. Charlie undermining this is not helpful, to him or the club.

Hubble, as said several times already - there's no direct quotes from Austin anywhere in the article. At worst it's originated from an unscrupulous agent. So not sure it's fair to start assuming Austin is at fault here.

Why is Kane worth almost double the price of Austin??

Mad aint it. I honestly think Kane will flop massively next season.

to be honest, even if he wanted out desperately, austin is not going to make a publicly attributable statement to that effect. look at the grief that sterling has copped at liverpool etc.

...the closest we might get to an attributable quote might the the following from a daily mail article about newcastle:

Sportsmail spoke to the agent of one reported target this week and he hinted that he would advise against a move to the North-East should definite interest emerge.

McClaren had wanted QPR’s Charlie Austin to be the marquee signing which announced a bright new dawn at Gallowgate.

Such was the club’s confidence in landing the striker, their preferred media partner ran with a back-page story declaring that the deal would be done within a week.

Austin, though, is said to have reservations, not to mention several other options.

If it was the cup final and had one chance to win it and had to choose between Austin and Kane to shoot I would go Austin without a second thought

always thought he looks so unntural when he plays. Dont get me wrong he obviously is but just thinks he looks clumsy alomst. probably a bit like Crouch.

Hope we don't end up with a remy situation
