Bournemouth to bid £14 million for Austin

[CroydonCaptainJack]

We already have with 1 player that now has 2 knees both gone and a runner who with give you plenty of running but with no quality. Personally think we are bang in trouble and we will be closer to relegation than promotion unless we start signing more quality

No mention of the other signings I see? Can't find anything to criticize them for perhaps.

He won't sign for anyone like Bournemouth, Leicester, etc.

Just let them start the bidding and speak to them just to panic other clubs into meeting our asking price.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

The price is £15m

The sooner the Austin saga is over the better. I would love for him to stay at QPR but it isn't going to happen. The quicker we get the £15million (which is a bargain when you consider Andy Carroll was sold for £35million and he's pony) the quicker we can bring some quality into the side.

I doubt Austin will go to the likes or Bournemouth, Leicester etc. I think Newcastle will be his choice of destination.

What do these clubs not understand, that he will not be sold for less than £15M ? I wish it was £18-20M because I think that is what his true value is, if we were still in the prem and one of the so called bigger clubs came calling then I think £20M would be the asking price, so I hope we stick to our guns and start an auction starting at £15M

still cant get over 15mil daylight robbery

[MattyRangers]

The price is £15m

It's really not difficult to understand is it.

Charlie Austin scored 18 goals last season in what was a poor team. He scored more goals than in the PL than Wayne Rooney, Olivier Giroud, Wilfried Bony and was only 2 goals behind Diego Costa. Imagine what he could do with the right service if given to him.

£15million is a steal and as said should be higher.

young and English as well

Amazing he didn't get more given the endless quality crosses played in by Isla and Traore from each flank, home and away...

the comparison with Carroll is spot on, as you say, Charlie a steal at £15m

Should be reiterated to clubs.......The starting price is £15mill

Getting relegated has had a major impact on the price.. If we would have stayed up we would be looking at £20m+.

I'm confused (not unusual) by the talk of bidding wars and starting prices - we either accept a bid or we don't. If we accept a £15m bid from one club, nobody is going to offer more are they? We are not going to turn down any other bids of £15m are we?

I thought we just accept all bids that meet our valuation and then it's up to Charlie to talk personal terms and decide who wins.....
