I mean, you just have to see the bloke move to realise he might not have long left in the legs
Edit: Austin, not Batch

What is actually up with Austin, he is 'only' 34 and bar his shoulder popping out has he been that affected by injuries over his career? He does seem to get talked about like some sort of veteran who has to be nursed through a season yet he is at least a couple of years younger than (for instance) Vardy, Messi, Ronaldo etc?
He has never been a runner - I think the way Morris used him was poor though, made him track back and not just be a focal point of attacks. Use him the right way and I think you get more games out of him and more goals. Didn't see a better natural finisher in the League last season. |

Didn't Batch have knee problems? I don't think you had to qualify your statement :-) |

He's on holiday for a week. I think this thread is probably at the back of his mind! When he gets home however!  |

I thought we were ruling out the signing of Batch, as Austin's back-up.

Based off absolutely nothing I’m going to chuck Theo Walcott into the mix. Was training at Reading.
Bring him home, one last dance etc.
