The Austin Auction begins...

[West London is Rss]

Probably be add ons Ginge... I'd take £13m just for this saga to be over! He'll do well at West Ham, great move for him if he does!

[Hitman34]

same reason why we chucked in 3 offers for bentley, clubs are always trying to get players on the cheap. including us.

Not a business man then. Our existence is key for me so ideally we need to make a decent profit on our most valuable assets.

We have enough to consolidate and stay up this year and progress next year. Doing things correctly.. Sir Les is doing that now for us.

same here, 2 mil short is sod all to billionaires. for the sake of 2 mil we should accept. get gayle, dunk byrne, and bentley then lets focus on getting out of this effing hole that we are digging.

and if we are stuck with austin for the season, we will get sod all for him next summer. 13 mil towards finishing off the squad is good bussniess sense.

The spending this summer leaves me to believe that whatever we get for Charlie won't be available as a transfer kitty.

Charlie has the air of a man who wants to be elsewhere. At the end of the day £13m is better than nowt

As does Phillips and Green IMO.

I've posted the same....can only believe the money has run out or it's get as much as you can stuffed in your pockets and run

I guess its all based on opinions and a great talking point. I am not totally in disagreement with some of your points made.

A few points I would make; 2 million right now (Potentially 4 actually with Ad-Ons if he plays for England FYI) is a HUGE amount of money to THE CLUB ;-) Yes we have rich owners but we as a club are totally FOOKED right now with debt stacking up by the minute. (Literally).

We have spent unreal amounts of cash in the last few years and potentially face a fine to go with it. Our owner just smashed £60 Odd million to wipe out some of our debt as he knew we was in the sh1t.

So, cutting short and selling on the cheap to make a quick buck, for me isn't worthwhile and we should stand firm and get the most out of the player like any other club. We need start acting like a real club again. Like you said, whats 2 million ehy, then why not hold out?

Only now have we really turned a corner and we have 1 small chance to pull it back if we start acting and operating properly. The start was Sterling and Austin is the next - This making a profit on assets.

We dont really know who we are in for, but spending all of that cash wont guarantee promotion this season. Its a very hard league.. We also dont know the situation with Charlie as he may end up signing a new deal? How the hell do we know whats going on, really? Although I do agree that if it gets to Jan and he hasnt signed a deal we could be proper screwed. But thats the risk you take, it could pay off and have us in the top 6?

I am really hoping we get "stuck" with Charlie for the season! Of course if that happens we need to be sure we are capable of making a promotion push and it isn't looking that way at the moment. There is no point in keeping him just to hover in mid-table and then lose him for nothing next summer.

Apparently there's some big news coming up at 5pm concerning #CPFC

Gayle, plus cash for #Austin?? #Gayle was a guest at #QPR on Saturday

Saw something today saying WHU manager is after Phillips be okay if they do a 20m treble Austin Phillips and Greene 13 for Austin 7 for Phillips and take Greene on a free,
Well hoping anyhow

And the longer he stays, I really think his value will diminish. Apart from the goal on Saturday that was at least one, if not two handballs I thought he was mostly ineffective in the two games so far.

If he's going, get rid while his value is at its highest
