Better off in L1/2 as player coach or manager.

His press conferences would certainly make for entertaining viewing that’s for sure

[Gtleighsr3]

How many Smith's songs could he get in one press conference lol

[QPRDave]

coming available soon, not taking into account his personality and past, personally I think he'd be a top signing if fit. kind of player we miss,scowen isn't good enough in THAT role yet for me. Barton would take us to another level(promotion push) with his mentality Imo.Would anyone else take him?

Not for me.....bin there, done that, .....too tight to buy the T-shirt

I bet he does go into management too. Don't think he'll be very good at it, but I bet he gives it a go!

[Bigdave]

Wrong time, wrong club for him. Wrong for us. Would totally unbalance what we're building with young players coming through. Sends out the wrong message. Plus his wages.

Bang on

[Kevin Mcleod]

Hate going back, so nah from me.
Saying that though, i thought of a really weird question i couldnt answer yesterday. Might do a poll on it.
Would people swap eze and smyth with southampton for austin ?

[Greg1882]

Not in a million years. Has everyone forgotten how #### he actually was? Misplaced passes from 5 yards, a billy big ######## attitude and a 24 carrot #### of a human to boot.

Nope. Austin is a great player and a legend, but he's also very injury prone. Why would you swap 2 potential match winners with their whole careers ahead of them for somebody in the 2nd half of their career with injury problems?

[Undecided]

This is not a serious thread right?

My thoughts exactly. Spot on.

[Timmy the Doc]

He was decent for us, but no thanks.

Yeah think thats the right answer, but his goals could lead to the promised land.

Charlie did us proud and practically carried the team, but time to move on. Love to have him back, but not on those terms.

I'm sure he would fit perfectly into our wage structure and we could drop Scowen or Luongo to make room for him.Really miss his Hollywood passes to no one in particular. Right age and a perfect role model for our youngsters.

BINGO!
