Title: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Bosey on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 14:57:05 Ever since his impressive start to life at the County Ground rumours surrounding his future at the club have been part of every day life for Town Fans and so far they seem to be nothing other than rumours...
However i have heard through the grapevine from sources reliable enough for me to risk credability by posting here that Charlie will be leaving for The New Den in January and in fact that the deal is already signed and completed. Town will receive just shy of 1.2 Million for Austin funded by Millwalls intentions to offload starlet Steven Morrison to a premier league outfit for more than double the offer for Austin in the January Transfer window. I can confirm that the sale of Morrison is not yet complete but Blackburn Rovers are currently in talks with Millwall about securing the services of the prolific striker. As i type this i am hoping i am made to look stupid and that this is indeed another "rumour" but the credability of my source (who i will name if the sale goes ahead) isn't really questionable and i am struggling to convince myself that we will still have Austin at the club for the rest of the season. :badmood: Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Benzel on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 14:58:24 Meh. Not exactly something we haven't considered possible.

Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: tans on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 14:58:52 Yes im sure he will go to Millwall.
Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 15:07:57 Yes im sure he will go to Millwall. Well if they make an offer and the club accept it, he'll be gone. How many footballers do you know who've turned down a transfer where the club has accepted an offer? Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Bosey on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 15:11:00 Well if they make an offer and the club accept it, he'll be gone. How many footballers do you know who've turned down a transfer where the club has accepted an offer? From what i have been told the offer has been made and accepted, Terms have been agreed for contracts and the deal is done already. I'm assuming they are keeping us all in the dark for morale... ?

Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: herthab on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 15:21:01 I hope he goes. Never liked him much and I think his style of play isn't suited well to Vinnie's.
Get a player in who will complement Pericard and we'll be flying! Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: tans on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 15:21:30 How many footballers do you know who've turned down a transfer where the club has accepted an offer?

You would have done well to establish a little more of an online presence here before issuing a 'breaking news' story like that...because I'm sure I'm not the only person on here who read your post and thought that you're probably a Millwall fan on a wind up. Agreed. Sadly not the case though whether people believe me or not does not bother me. I'm not 100% sure i believe this myself. I just felt cheated after finding out that this is a supposedly done deal yet the fans are being told quite the opposite and felt a need to share it with other Fans and discovered this forum thanks to that. Everyone is new to a forum at one stage and if you care to look at the posts i have made else where on the forum since joining it will become clear to you that my knowledge of the club is a little too indepth to be a rival supporter... unless i was a Millwall fan with no life... which now i think about it is very possible.... :beers: Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Phil_S on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 15:24:49 I'd have thought that it would take more to secure the transfer. Starting at 2 million as a minimum.

You've posted this rumour (and responses), one comparing Pericard to Heskey, and another one asking if the Samsung win a contract game is still on. I'm sold.Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: chalkies_shorts on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 15:30:02 I thuoght it was a done deal for him to have joined Stoke in the Summer. I thought it was a done deal he was a druggie. I thought it was a done deal he was a one season wonder, after being a done deal that he'd never make the step up.
All of this proved absolute bollox as will any move to Millwall. There's far better teams looking at him and if he's patient he'll get the right move rather than one that makes fuck all sense to anyone. Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 15:33:24 How many clubs are chasing him? Must be double figures. Millwall would be bottom of that list IMO. Just sounds like a rehash off that crap rumours site that appears every day.
Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: otanswell on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 15:40:29 if he signs for millwall, im replacing george burley as manager of crystal palace

I'm sold. Paul, I must admit its a little bit frustrating that you won't accept the fact i am a Swindon fan so i'm going to go out on a limb and try to convince you further. I live in Park South where i was born and raised, i have also lived in Pinehurst and Walcot. I went to Liden Primary school and Dorcan Technology college and now work in the Tri centres for openwork (part of zurich who own the buildings) Infact i even have a signed program on my desk signed by David Ball, Alan Sheehan, Alan O'Brien and Mark Scott who were all in the House of Fraser club shop area signing programs a few weeks ago.. I play Futsal at Kembrey Park on a wednesday and thursday night... (Is that enough Swindon based knowledge to convince you i am infact a Swindon fan from swindon and i do not live in south bermondsey???) Anyway this is straying away from the topic so regardless of whether or not you believe me i am not going to try and concince you any further... As i said, i have been given this information from a very reliable source and i wanted to share it with other Town fans, whether you choose to believe me or not is irrelevant because deep down i dont want to believe myself soapy tit wank! Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 15:47:45 I could give you an in depth rundown of everywhere in South London, doesn't mean crap that you can reel that off I'm afraid.

I personally can't see Charlie going to Millwall though. Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Processed Beats on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 19:05:45 Well if they make an offer and the club accept it, he'll be gone. How many footballers do you know who've turned down a transfer where the club has accepted an offer? Kelvin Davis turned down West Ham to stay at Southampton. Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: pauld on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 19:09:11 I'm embarrassed by some of you lot. Way to jump on the new guy! He was just trying to pass on something he'd heard. Just playing with him. Don't be such a misery :)Get a grip FFS.

Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Spencer_White on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 20:23:08 Kelvin Davis turned down West Ham to stay at Southampton. pfffft. West Ham.

Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: DV on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 20:36:50 I think this is about the 3rd time Austin to Millwall has been a DONE DEAL.
£1.2m would be daylight robbery and probably the stupidest transfer in our history. If Austin is sold to Millwall for £1.2m I wont be back. Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: dogs on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 20:37:35 Well I hear stuff off from those in the club all the time - i've shared a few tidbits (though my last ones went tits up after complications with deals not yet completed). I can though confirm that this is pure bullshit. Doesn't mean Mr Austin won't leave in January, but it certainly isn't for Millwall at this time.
Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Arch Stanton on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 20:42:40 Proper rumour that is.. Yep, I only deal in proper rumours... BTW some guy I know, who knows someone, whos best mate with the lass who cleans Cuthberts cats litter tray says that Douglas is off to Leicester in Jan for 850k. Straight up. Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: derbystfc on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 21:53:55 Austin isnt going nowhere, Morrison on the other hand could be soemthing different!
Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: lambourn red on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 21:54:27 Not a day goes past without someone telling me that they have heard Charlie is definitely going in January the only thing that changes is the destination , Millwall QPR Pompey and Burnley being the most common ones.
Surely the club are in driving seat here and with a host of clubs supposedly interested then there is no way that 1.2m is going to tempt them is it ? Personally I think he will stay until the end of the season unless of course a) the club look at the fact we are out of all cups and the crowds could start to diminish if results don't start to improve they may just take the carrot to balance the books b) he may actually want to go if the right deal comes in and request a transfer. If we do sell I think we are royally fucked unless the Samsung Pro thing unearths another gem but that would be a massive gamble. Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 22:03:22 Austin isnt going nowhere So he is going somewhere then? Pesky double-negatives. Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: @MacPhlea on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 22:10:28 I've heard a rumour that Cox is going to WBA - personally I think it's bollocks cos what player would consider leaving us to go and warm a bench for a championship club who think they are going to get in the premiership?
Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 22:16:58 Is your source closely involved with the management of either side? He may be off but I don't see how any other sources would know the fee.
Players talk bollocks. Agents talk bollocks. Newspapers talk bollocks. Club physios talk bollocks. Fans talk bollocks. Let's face it, none of the sources in that list would know the transfer fee.

Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: chalkies_shorts on Wednesday, December 8, 2010, 23:43:40 Celtic would be a good move for him - he'd score a shitload and in terms of quality its about the same level. The only thing is that Celtic aren't minted and would struggle to raise the fee.

If we got 6 million dollars for him in January could we rename him Steve Austin? Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: corner on Thursday, December 9, 2010, 13:07:56 So how much is Ustin worth?? 2 3 mil or more??
Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Bosey on Thursday, December 9, 2010, 13:41:17 Give him a chance. He'll look a knob if this turns out to be rubbish. I personally can't see Charlie going to Millwall though. In fairness based on what has been said here and reading into other Rumours online i'll put my hands up and say this is probably bullshit, the source is close enough to the board to be believed and i was naieve enough to post it here without thinking first where i learnt every other town fan is as big a prick as me! The source is also a massive pisstake and although he remains adamant what he told me is true i no longer believe him and think he is taking the piss... so yea i look like a fat hairy knob now! I still think there is a chance Austin will go somewhere in January tho! I hope not i dont fancy our chances of promotion this season without him! Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: jayohaitchenn on Thursday, December 9, 2010, 13:51:47 Are you saying you fancy our chances of promotion with him??? I fucking don't.

I hope not i dont fancy our chances of promotion this season without him! Quite. My source tells me tho that Austin is not a particularly happy chappy at the moment, so that could add a bit of credence to your story. Should he go in January, then that is season over, but I'm pretty sure he's not daft enough to go to Millwall Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Batch on Thursday, December 9, 2010, 14:08:18 My source tells me tho that Austin is not a particularly happy chappy at the moment, Heard that too a month or so ago. Though mine is a third hand source. I've never had a source before. Said source couldn't confirm the Millwall rumour. Not sure Charlie being unhappy has much bearing on whether he goes in January or not though. One thing is for sure, we'd need a new goalscorer as I'm not sure Dossevi and Pericard would keep us up! Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, December 9, 2010, 14:11:46 I have no source at all.
Reckon he'll go to QPR. Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Saxondale on Thursday, December 9, 2010, 14:13:12 I havent got a source either.
:cry: Where can I get one. I reckon he'll play football somewhere and be quite successful. Will that do? Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Bloody Paynter on Thursday, December 9, 2010, 15:04:49 He'll stay in January, I always tend to win 1 decent bet every 8-9 months, by May I will due another, on Charlin finishing top goal scorer. For this reason only, there is no chance of him leaving.

Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Power to people on Thursday, December 9, 2010, 15:57:18 But if he does leave what sort of fee could we command for him, I reckon it would have to be a minimum of £2m with add on's and a sell on clause, although for his age would he be worth more ?

Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Rich Pullen on Saturday, December 11, 2010, 17:51:54 Of course Austin isn't near the top, we bought him from Poole Town!
He's earned a raise, I hope that the club don't fuck this up on the basis of negotiating his wage. Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Arriba on Saturday, December 11, 2010, 17:54:01 since we originally signed him he signed a new contract
Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Rich Pullen on Saturday, December 11, 2010, 17:55:59 since we originally signed him he signed a new contract You can't throw money at players who emerge so quickly though.

Give them too much, they get an ego and then the form goes and all of a sudden you've got an overpaid player in the reserves. I agree with this completely, but on the other hand when it's clear a player has emerged and performs at such a consistently high level it needs to be reviewed and quickly. I don't think anyone would be happy if Charlie was to leave because the club wouldn't increases his wages sufficiently to match others in the team who clearly aren't deserving of them! I would go so far as to say that some supporters would be so upset they would stop attending matches, particularly if the fee we got for him was thought to be too low. Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Arriba on Saturday, December 11, 2010, 20:10:39 the trouble clubs have is that when a forward bangs in the goals,if they dont pay him top dollar,then you can bet another club will.

He's good at holding up play and if he scored a few more then him and Austin would be a great partnership. Although we aren't exactly short of goals at the moment with the likes of Richie, Austin, JP and Morrison scoring quite regularly. Austin leaving though would be a problem because results like 3-3 against Yeovil and 5-4 against Peterbrough (even though that was a loss) would turn into thrashings.

Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Panda Paws on Sunday, December 12, 2010, 19:13:34 two wins will put us on the fringes of the top six. If everyone else loses, even if they're playing each other Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, December 12, 2010, 19:14:13 Leefer, Cox was in january, which was an absolutely brilliant bit of business. Austin was November on loan and then full time in January, which turned out to be Football League signing of the season. And I know its not worked out brilliant, but Pericard was highly rated at Carlisle, but we managed to sign him in January.
So Ive got high hopes we can get someone good in January. Theo Robinson is a classic example of trying to sign a striker in the summer, youve got to pay the top dollar. We overpaid for Paynter really, at the time we couldnt afford a £100k player.

Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, December 12, 2010, 19:49:37 I think Spence has assumed the normal football league rules in that you can sign a player on loan until January then buy them when the window opens (although the deal is all arranged up front).

Yes Brighton may have cash, and Plymouth are desperate to sell anyone to any club, so Noone and BWP for a combined 300k sounds about right. But Austin to Brighton in January?

But hey, maybe I lunged in two-footed and you're right, and you're not on about Brighton.

Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: Batch on Tuesday, December 14, 2010, 07:59:47 Benyon of Torquay is the more likely I'd have thought. http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/8735462.Fitton_confident_Ritchie_will_stay/ Quote And one name which could top the County Ground manager’s wish list is that of Torquay United striker Elliot Benyon. Wilson took advantage of the postponement of Town’s trip to Oldham on Saturday to watch Benyon in action for the Gulls at Chesterfield, heightening expectation he will bid for the 23-year-old in the new year. The Robins reportedly enquired about the availability of the 10-goal hotshot last month but saw their approach rebuked by Torquay. However, the Devon club have not ruled out the possibility of Benyon moving to pastures new when the transfer window reopens in a little under three weeks’ time, and Wilson’s presence at their 1-0 defeat on Saturday could reaffirm Swindon’s interest in the youngster Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: gingernuggets on Tuesday, December 14, 2010, 08:33:58 Austin's partner or Austin's replacement?

Title: Re: Austin to leave in January Transfer Window Post by: chalkies_shorts on Saturday, December 18, 2010, 17:41:34 He could do better than Hull. From our point of view, however, the new owners will want to splash a bit of cash so maybe we could get a decent fee, particularly if we can start an auction. I don't think we can put this in the "usual bollox" pile like a lot of the other shite we read.

On the plus side it does have the most magnificent collection of oddballs, tramps and general nutters roaming the streets than I have ever seen anywhere else. I do miss the”chip spice” they used to serve at the takeaways. Not a great move for Charlie, Hull aren’t exactly setting the Championship on fire and they’re not a club known for nurturing talent. It would be very easy to move there and get lost in the stiffs. On the plus side the strikers they do have on their books aren’t exactly great to say the least but in Charlie’s position better to sit tight for the right club rather than jump ship to a side on the decline. |
