Charlie Austin

[Arriba]

let the serious bidding begin

[Sippo]

We'll be signing Dean Ashton as his replacement.

[tans]

Leon Knight is coming in from Coleraine as a replacement apparently

[Power to people]

Unrelated but sky are saying reading are in for morrison too

Plastic cunts

Wha would we get for Morrison then, £500,000 + add on's perhaps ?

We couldn't sign him anyway as Rushden ( i think ) own his registration so he can't play for anyone else in England or Wales.

I'm pretty sure you can't alter quotes and pass them off as somebody elses for your own amusement. That could get you in trouble, a source close to Batch said.

Not for your own amusement, no, but with permission it happens all the time. Half the quotes you see in the press from politicians/pop stars/sports stars are actually from their agents/spokespeople/PR people either via a press release that the semi-literate star in question never went near writing (viz any quoted statement from Rooney in print media) or a phone call along the lines of "Yeah, you can quote Wayne as saying .... blah, blah". It's what the PR flacks are there for, so the star doesn't need to be bothered with speaking to the press themselves and/or doesn't have their complete inarticulacy exposed.

But from what Abrahammer says, it doesn't apply in this case so it's a moot point

Not for your own amusement,

Actually I was just making a cheap joke by altering your quote. But I hadn't realised such practices took place so it ended up quite useful.

Ha, ha, I missed that

But I hadn't realised such practices took place so it ended up quite useful.

The PR flack stuff or the goat-blowing stuff? I'm denying both btw

 Think we should get rid asap....clearly ego has taken over, should be sold and money used for replacement.  No good having disaffected players at the club...but I'm sure the management realise this and do the necessary.

Still on the wind up then  

Im sick of hearing Austins name he is apparently signing for every club under the sun.

Totally agree.

I'd take even half of that - he would get destroyed in the Championship.

My Reading supporting friend seems to think this is a done deal! Apparently waiting for our manager to give to the green light, all fees etc have been agreed... Might be bullshitting me but he seems pretty confident the smug git...

[Nemo]

I do think Morrison's a decent player but I'd drive him there for half a million*

* Obvioius proviso that we actually get a replacement in rather than just talking about one.

[Panda Paws]

If we could then go out and buy Micky Nelson or Adam Barrett for half the fee then I'd do it tomorrow, but without a proper replacement lined up this shouldn't happen.
