how do you know they aint looking at paynter? and 3 mill.!?!? have a word man.he aint worth half that
What's the lowest the board would accept? It's hard to say given that we don't know how much of a loss the club's made this season, but I'd have thought they'd hold out for another year unless a silly offer came in.

no smoke = no fire I never said he was worth £3m, just pointing out that PL teams will take more of a risk on a striker than they would other players and that Austin at that value could easily be a risk a team would take due to the potential gain.

Sure, but nothing gets a manager and their scouts spanking their monkey as much as a goal machine like Austin.

If we were to sell Austin we'd get a decent fee due to the amount of time left on his contract.
That's what determines players value these days.

I don't care what fee we get offered. We must not sell this lad in the summer. We need to either prepare for another promotion push next season or prepare a squad capable of staying in the Championship. If Austin and Paynter both go it's back to square one and even though the signings of Ferry and Ward would be fantastic we'd still to sign a new strike pair.

Ability tends to come in to it too...

I too was told this by a someone who I thought was a reliable "sauce" and told he was leaving in the transfer window in Jan
Load of old bum that was
promptly followed by him signing a 2 year deal.. End of season transfer speculation, gotta love it. Can't we concentrate on finishing the season first?!

No shit.
But Austin with a year left is worth less than Austin with 2 years left.
They will both have the same ability as they are the same person.

Take away the penalties and Paynter has scored 14 in the league, Austin has scored 18 in far less games. Paynter would be the 8th top league scorer and Austin 4th. If Austin had played every league game this season and maintained his goal ratio he'd be the leagues top scorer. As I said, Paynter's record is nowhere near as impressive without the penalties. My thanks for raising the point though, as its given me the opportunity to show that I was right - again.

On that note, David Nugent has the best goals to minutes ratio for England of all time.
Of course, if he played more games its a certain guarantee he'd keep up that ratio forever.
