I'd take 5mill cash for him.
Lick my Arse Orifice good one! He aint no way worth that, if they stump up £1.5mill I think we would snap their hand off in all honesty, but I don't think they will and I also don't think he will leave. |

if this is true,austin will know what is on offer from millwall(contract length,pay,higher division etc). if it's better than here,i think he will ask for improved terms or will leave.
i was sure he will go next summer anyway,this just might speed his departure up.

The position we are in, both financial and league means all of our players will leave if a decent bid comes in we cannot afford to say no to clubs.
If we don't do something now in terms of contract revision then Austin will go next summer without a doubt. So we might as well cash in if the bid is decent enough but I doubt Millwall will pay the £1m+ figure for what is very young and untried player.

If we cash in on Austin who else will score goals in our team (assuming no replacement is made)? But its more than that, this would be a massive kick in the balls for the fan base. The opposite of a statement of intent.
But yes, all players have a price. But we fans largely don't think of the commercials!
My worry isn't that Millwall will sign him, but that this will be the bid that brings other bids out from other (bigger) clubs. And then it cold be see ya later.

That's what I think, it will raise other clubs interest.
I don't want him to leave, I hope the board sticks to their guns and repel any bid for him. We have no other striker really and losing him would piss me right off. We get a decent player and they leave after a season its starting to rile me slightly.
But hey, if he does go Wilson will get a decent replacment and stick him on the bench. Someone to talk to Ferry.

It's a bullshit rumour with no foundation. Media talk.
Now where are those straws that need clinging to?

Yes but we've already lost Paynter and sold Greer so far this summer. To lose our best player (or more to the point our hottest prospect) at this stage would be stupid. Money or not we can't be that short. We sold Henshall for 250k and Greer for a sum thought to be around that mark as well. So we're already looking at 500k netted through player sales this summer. Why do we need to sell Austin? And if we do sell we're up shit creek in terms of the playing side. I'd have hoped Fitton as a footballing man who takes a lot of interest in that side of things would not be stupid enough to sell.
All very true....but Charlie has been a bit lethargic this season.....personally I'd cash in on a Cox type offer and use the funds for further rebuilding. |

That's the point though Reg. There isn't time to rebuild. We've got less than 72 hours before the window shuts. To sell now would be totally stupid. |

There are loans to be had, then maybe pay some money in Jan....something like 1.5 to 2 mill would be impossible to turn down. I'm sure it wouldn't be....500 to 750 could be turned down. |

we're going to be stuck in the botton 2 tiers for life now.
