Offer for Austin...

[bassett boy]

Don't shoot the messenger but a reliable source who normally gets this sort of shit right says that Austin is going to join either Arsenal, Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers, Blackpool, Bolton Wanderers, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Stoke City, Sunderland, Tottenham Hotspur, West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United, Wigan Athletic, Wolverhampton Wanderers Barnsley, Bristol City, Burnley, Cardiff City, Coventry City, Crystal Palace, Derby County, Doncaster Rovers, Harlem Globetrotters, Hull City, Ipswich Town, Leeds United, Leicester City, Middlesbrough, Millwall, Norwich City, Nottingham Forest, Portsmouth, Preston North End, Queens Park Rangers, Reading, Scunthorpe United, Sheffield United, Swansea City, Watford, Southampton or Celtic.

Deal should be concluded by Wednesday.
 

So Sheffield are the favourites

[suttonred]

Surely you've missed out Rangers?

[flammableBen]

I've heard that the club he'll go to will have one or more of the letters from the word mackerel in their name.

[Costanza]

Like I said, don't shoot the messenger.

[Simon Pieman]

I really hope he signs for Wolverhampton Wanderers Barnsley.

For fuck sake, how many times? I am only relaying information. Next time I'll keep this blinding information to myself.

You're such a shit WUM. You haven't even put where he's been seen having a medical today. You need at least 5 clubs 200+ miles apart. Sort it out!

I only pass on the information that's been given to me.

Tweet from stfc adver. Charlie not going anywhere today

So end of another day at Town. No movement, plenty of speculation. Austin didn't leave Swindon - he trained all day. Bring on Tranmere

Aye but this morning they say bids are in from Blackpool and Burnley.

Knowing Holloway and Blackpool though their bid will be around a pound.

Reckon they will bid low at around 1.2 million and we'll probably accept 1.5 million with add ons for appearances etc which could take it up to 2 million.

Or I could be totally wrong and they'll just accept 1.2 million.

900k

Still reckon Fitton will hold out for £2m plus add ons, or something equivalent. So maybe a lower fee with some easily achievable add ons or a higher than normal sell on clause, perhaps with a player or two thrown in. Fitton hates agents and Austin putting in a transfer request will have just pissed him off and less likely to give ground on the money.

[Peter Venkman]

I cant see the up front fee being much more than £1mill but with add ons taking it over £1.5mill in all honesty.

From the Beeb

Blackpool are to sign former Arsenal striker Jeremie Aliadiere, who is a free agent, and Moroccan international defender Salaheddine Sbai on loan from Nimes.
