Adver News: Austin hands in transfer request

[Ardiles]

The more I think about this, the more comfortable I become.

• There are 2 weeks of the transfer window still to come.  And instead of a will he/won't he scenario, we now know what's happening.
• No danger of Charlie leaving on Jan 31st without a replacement lined up.
• With Morrison having also departed, everyone knows now that a complete rebuilding of the squad is on the cards...front to back.  We will be able to use the Charlie money where it is most needed.
• The chips are down for DW.  No excuses now.  Astute signings (x several) are a necessity.  The clock's ticking.

Should be an interesting couple of weeks.  Not because Morrison and Charlie leaving.  They're both history already.  But because of who we'll be getting in.  This had better be good.

I suspect the truth of this is, as I said around the Sky interview thing, that Charlie's being very badly advised. As others have said on the other thread, he's a young lad who's never been in this situation before so he's going to be heavily dependent on the advice of his agent. That's where any bile should be directed, not at Charlie.

Gazza, well over the top. It's not like a kiddy fiddling pop star's died or anything

Just because he's reportedly handed in a request doesn't mean he'll automatically be off at the first offer that comes in.

But you can't deny that its likely to upset the dynamics of the squad?! Its very difficult to pick a player who has publicaly stated that he no longer wants to play for the team. Is he willing to fight for his team mates? (The ones he no longer wants to play with) How will the fans react to him?

Its just so unecessary. He could have got his dream move now or in the Summer when the right money came in and left with the best wishes of everyone. All this just creates bad feeling.

To a T Mr D. Last line's a good 'un.

Gazza, get a grip and delete the post and change your picture until he at least goes mate!  He is still a swindon town player at the moment whether he wants out or not!

Why is everybody getting so wound up about something we already knew and have been discussing over the past few weeks?

I have been depressed about this season for weeks and this place really does take it to another level sometimes.

Spot on Ardiles, I agree.

Always disappointing when a big player leaves, but at least it's all out in the open and now it's time to look forward, not back.

If Charlie32Austin is actually him on twitter then this is his latest post:

"What are people going on about I ain't on my way anywhere I've not long woken up!"

Yup because he was found guilty, and both people who accused him, since he died have come out and said nothing happened and one of the dad's topped themselves hmmmm...

Still a cunt how he's gone about things! On a serious note be interesting to see what kind of reception he gets if he still here for Tranmere....

[THE FLASH]

Tip toed around the last two games like Paynter at Wembley. I said it was time to get rid after Oldham but we are probably doomed now unless Wilson pulls something out of the hat.

I wish him the best of luck and hope he doesnt end up like all the other forwards that have left........Parkin, Cox and Paynter.

Bodin on the bench for Saturday.

point 1. fully agree, he didnt want to be playing for us by the look of it.

point 2. I agree again, best of luck, we got him for peanuts and he delivered lots in return.

point 3. isn't Bodin a bit old now at 47 to get a game??

Fucking hell Gaz, I see the "taking things far too seriously" hat is firmly in place this morning. You need to take up ganja, mate.

While he's a Town player wearing the red shirt, I'd hope he gets nothing but 100% support.

I'm no longer convinced by that account!

[mrverve]

The most dissapointing thing about all this is the utter lack of class he has shown. I don't begrudge him bettering himself, but there are ways in which to do so.
