Austin/Gayle

[stanistheman]

I thinks it's a fair reason to be a little worried but personally if I was a lot of the clubs the 15 mill would be putting me off purely for the fact you could potentially sign him on a pre contract agreement from jan I believe and for him to join for free next summer.

He'd still only be 26.

He can only sign a pre contract with a foreign club in January.

Just popped down the shops and always have talksport on the radio and there was a football agent doing a talk on chaz and he said it's all hype and only one club has bid for him (he said Norwich but sure he meant liecester), and that nobody else is really going mad for him as they fear he won't pass a medical cos of the knee problem!

Heard that too Kev and hope its true. Unless we drop out asking price, which I hope we do not, I think he will stay. If others are f annying around then we should show him our love and appreciation by slapping another contract in front of him and telling him now he gets mega pay increase and bonus if we go up

I dunno because if someone were to bid 15 last minute and we had no time to replace him we can just reject it. Much better position than with Remy.

Fair enough mate wasn't 100% sure.

Hoping he will stay we will push on and sign a new deal end of next season. I am in my second beer of the night so am pretty optimistic right now

I'd like to see Charlie sign an extension with us. I know he's saying concentrating on Rangers and here until told otherwise
but committing to us would help put us in a stronger position, now or in January

If only he would. Still don't know why he was only offeted a 3 year deal when Phillips got 4.

Gayle scored a hatrick today ! Don't think palace will wanna sell :(

Don't understand tbh Stan. If he is as happy as he says he is, sign up and insert a clause he can speak to a club if £20 mill offered

[QPRDave]

They want to offload their s*** not Gayle

[stationcafe]

I'd like Gayle here but Palace are taking the michael with their offers, trying to give us overvalued castoffs like Campbell.

Maybe our club have got a dirty tricks department, putting these rumours out

[QprQpr]

I wouldn't settle for any less than £12m plus Gayle or Murray.

Same here, failing that and it's a long shot let's hold on to Charlie, promotion is worth more to us than 15 mil.

[West Acton]

He wont sign up with that clause mate as no one is willing to offer £15mil after a blinding season in top flight they wont pay it after being in champ

To get him to sign we prob need to say release clause of £10-12mil (value clubs will play) if we don't do up this season; if we do clause does not apply at all. Think we should nit bullet at that and back ourselves to get promoted

The difference with Austin and Remy is that Remy wanted out and obviously made it clear he did. I think that's why a last minute deal was done.
If the reports about Charlie are true, that he is leaving it to his agent and the club to sort out and would be happy to kick on with QPR come the start of the season, then I assume he and the club will do their best to avoid a last minute deal that would leave the club in a 'difficult' position.

It's likely that he'll go as a goal scoring record like his doesn't get overshadowed by a possible knee problem. If the big clubs wanted to, they could easily afford the gamble (if you could call it that).

You say that, but Liverpool had a deal agreed for Remy for the ludicrous bargain price of only £8m, which was his release Claus, and then rejected him on a medical...... If ever a gamble was worth taking, that was it. Who knows, maybe there are wider insurance issues if they breach their medical standards for one player, it could raise doubts about their process in general and create a loophole for the insurance company to use should any player have to retire early due to an injury.
