Austin - "Im not going anywhere"

[Fordy]

Will the board put their hands in their pocket and go and get another top striker.

Hes been so important to us and if he leaves in the summer we aint getting no money. Will the board go and get a rhodes or Afobe?

Hope they have a plan in place for when he does move on.

Anyone aware of any decent lower league strikers that could make a step up?

It's going to be so hard to replace Charlie. Wouldn't want any other striker playing for us at the moment, the blokes a flipping hero. Only striker I can think of is Rhodes but he will cost serious dough.

Said it in another thread, this wouldve been a big issue between JFH and TF/LF at the nagotiation process for JFH getting the job. Imho the board have told JFH that they will do all they can to keep Austin but if he does move on then a significant amount of money will me made available to replace him.

[geejaybee]

of course he is not. he wants a big lump sum to sign for another club on a free. dont blame him either. i hope we have started scouting for a replacement.

Won't be easy.Charlie's scored 10 goals in 16 appearances so far this season.I might be imaganing it,but he seems to be bigger,stronger and quicker than he was last season when his record was nearer to his career average of a goal every other game,but there again,the opposition was Prem teams and not Championship.

yeah the fella deserves whatever windfall wages come his way in the summer. just hope that if by some miracle of god we go up he gets a massive deal from us to stay.
the guys been nothing but respectful of the club and clinical while in w12

[HoopDoggyDogg]

Exactly. And as for the bosman wages / signing on fee in the summer- good on him I say, he's earned it.

When the time comes for Chaz to depart, I hope he goes to a club that actually will use him.

[MattyRangers]

80 I think mate.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

48 Rs goals for him now.

Big sign on fee for him in the summer. Plus in Jan it will only be to go and join another relegation dog fight and risk being relegated anyway.

[maidstone_hoop]

As others have pointed out, he is staying for the free transfer. Will get a huge signing on fee and massive wages.

Probably will have a lot more choice and options of where to play as no fee involved.

Our only chance of keeping him is winning promotion through the play offs which is a long shot as things stand.
