STFC Transfer Rumours

[horlock07]

I did see he had a "furious rant" at a Brisbane teammate only a couple of weeks ago that went viral.

Thats not the actions of a happy player.

TBH quite liked the defender giving as good as he got there!

The Austin thing still doing the rounds then. If true, would be very silly upheaving your whole family to the other side of the world for less than 6 months...

Thing is mate stuff happens. If you get out to these places and don't enjoy it or have other issues what do you do? Be sillier to stay out there imo

Absolutely, you have to be happy in your life otherwise what is the point.

Bring him home asap.

Would love to see the return of the king! I feel like that having him at league 2 level may be a bit like cheating…It would probably also hide frailties in other areas of the playing/management team.

[horlock07]

Hasn't he got more than just a year contract over there as well, so won't Jeds favourite club be wanting something to give up their asset?

[DMC]

Believe they have agreed to mutually terminate the contract. Likelihood the ball will be in our court now so up to Sandro and the manager. Times like this you would probably want Clem to override them and get involved in a football decison as no doubt the stats won't add up or something

[Jimmy Quinn]

Unless he specifically wants to come to Swindon you would imagine the likes of Gas, Oxford & Portsmouth would be sniffing around.

I think Austin is a Swindon fan isn’t he? Don’t think he would want to go to Oxford if that’s the case.

If that is true, (and I have no reason to think it isn't) then yes Clem needs to step in asap and override whatever Sandro or Lindsey may think, if they are against it (which we also don't know).

[DMC]

Not saying it's true sorry mate just know that Clem won't get involved in the footy side. Couldn't tell you the clubs thoughts

When I say true I mean the whole Austin leaving Brisbane etc, not incinuating you know anything mate

[horlock07]

I do fear that if he did come back and everyone got really excited he would invariably pop his shoulder in the first game and miss most of the season.

that's the spirit Horlock, it's so STFC.

I'll be honest, I don't know what condition he's in these days and whether we could provide him the chances. He's surely going to attack crosses better though.

But I can't see it. He's not really our current MO, probably expensive and probably got better options.

have we even got any budget left?

but if he's viable, surely we at least try

He obviously has a connection with us but we've seen it before in football when money talks!
