Charlie Austin

Mackie ruled out for rest of season. Imminent bid from QPR then?

Reading have pulled out of the Bradley Wright-Philips deal due to medical complications.

But Sam (and a different friend of Austin) says Charlie says he wouldn't go there. So Ierm, why am i posting,. No idea.

Not good news if this is true

[Ardiles]

He isn't going to stay.  We need to accept that now.  What we need to hope for is that the manner of his exit (ie where he goes, how much we get for him, how we then rebuild) works as well for us as it possibly can.

Now that the Wright-Phillips transfer from Plymouth to Reading is off, I could see Reading coming in for Charlie now...despite the denials in the press last week.

[phelpsieboy]

If he is to go, we just need to really spend the money wisely, as the thought of a Pericard and Dossevi partnership basically makes me want to 

[REDBUCK]

Maybe he should stick to playing football and not basketball, that might help

first time I've seen direct quotes stating what  I guess we already knew, gone if the right bid comes in. the difference is this is coming from the player.

if he goes I hope its soon.  we need the time to get a couple of strikers in.  can't leave it until deadline day and hope somehow we find a loan star.

Disappointed not to be going to Hull?... Meh! - made up story

Reading were getting BWP on the cheap, 500k I beleive they have not got the £2m it would cost for Charlie so we can rule them out

[Ardiles]

If we do get £2 million for him (and we've been disappointed with valuations before) that will be one of the tidiest pieces of business in the club's history.

[london_red]

Would that be a club record? Or did we get more for Cox?

[lambourn red]

I hope Wilson has an ace up his sleeve because the thought of Pericard and Dossevi strike force plus a couple of young loans does not look good especially if we get sucked further into a relegation fight.

[Ardiles]

It's a real opportunity to kick start the rebuilding of the side as a whole...not just the forward line.

Great avatar. Are you as tight as him Ardiles?

[Ardiles]

I can be when I want to.  (And thanks!  Winston's always been my favourite.)
