they've just paid that for Fryatt from Leicester. maybe they've withdrawn interest now
I think their owners said they wanted 2 strikers - Aaron McLean being the other who signed for them recently so hopefully that will end their interest in Austin. |

I've heard more reports that we're in for this Elliot Benyon. Can't say i've ever heard of him, but he's 3rd top scorer in League Two with 12 goals, so must have a bit about him. Plus he put two past the scummers, so that's good!
I'm surprised to see Adam Le Fondre still plying his trade in League Two. Hasn't he been consistently scoring goals at that level for a few years now?
Saw Benyon's goals on the FLS last night. Looks like he could be another Austin type player. Seems to know where the goal is at least. Tbh i'd take a punt for 75k. |

Leeds and another Champ club are after Tubbs apparently.
Why? So he can bench warm with Paynter?! |

Didn't Tubbs get signed for a healthy wedge by Crawley, so they'd be looking for a decent sum.

In other news L1 forwards catching the eye: Will Hoskins has already scored a brace.

It was £70k apparently... not sure why he's now worth £750k after playing half a season for them, even with the goals hes scored. As for Birmingham bidding £2mil, if thats true I expect the board would accept that, would be good if they didn't though. Although there is no mention on the 'Football gossip' bit on BBC football: 'Birmingham are on the hunt for a striker with Tottenham's Robbie Keane, Cardiff City's Jay Bothroyd and Liverpool's Ryan Babel high on the list. Manager Alex McLeish said: 'We're working actively to try and enhance the striking positions."' |

Really like the look of Benyon, hopefully as Charlie's partner until the summer initially and then replace Austin at the end of the campaign

As I mentioned last night, Steve Claridge said there was a 2mill bid from a premier league club, probably birmingham lodged last night. Could be bollocks.

Adam Le Fondre please.
Probably way out of our price range though.

A second striker/on the shoulder/poacher kind of guy from what i can gather. Would work really well with Austin until he leaves in the summer, and then splash the cash on replacing CA.

It did seem stranger than your recent addiction to Twitter.
