What is it with all the personal rumours flying around about him, the different things I have heard are unbeliveable, if even one of them was true it would be mad enough, but there are a few.

FWIW I think that it has all been handled rather poorly, if CA has submitted a transfer request then so be it theres not a lot we can do now. Personal insults and venting anger towards the player wont matter a fuck. As a lot younger town supporter I do believe I shed tears when we sold Don Rogers, couldn`t believe it when Peter Noble went, was frustrated and angry when big Dunc left and thought the world had ended when jan the man went. As a club we got over it and carried on. We WILL miss Charlie if he in fact goes, but the one thing that remains a constant is STFC the club this old fart will continue to support.

At the end of the day as has been said he was always going to go in the summer if he didn't go this month. He wants to play at a higher level and at the moment we're more likely to be playing at a lower level next season so he want's to move on. I haven't got a problem with this.
However what I am dissapointed about is the fact that potentially he has requested for his move to be fast tracked knowing full well that other teams are interested. I do wonder if an agent has twisted his arm on this one maybe to get some more serious offers in for him? Or maybe Charlie himself has simply had enough here. He doesn't get a lot of service, we're doing shite in the league and really it's not the place for him to progress in the long run. If that's how he feels then why should he wait?
I can kind of see both sides of the coin with this one. If he does move on then I wish him well. I just hope we seriously look at the squad in the next few weeks (we should be doing that anyway) because we're going to need 2 strikers (and I don't mean another Dossevi or Pericard), an exeperienced CB and a RM because JP is shite this season and doesn't look interested. Now with 250k for Morrison, 300k from the Diamandis court case and the money from any potential sale of Charlie there are no excuses not to get these players in. I really hope we're not sat here in 2 weeks time wondering why we haven't signed a replacement for Austin or a decent CB because at the moment this concerns me more than anything to do with Charlie Austin and whether he's leaving or not.

Paving a way for Celtic to make a big and becoming Hooper strike force partner. Hooper&Austin as our attack would be amazing  |

I'd like to see him at Celtic. Champions League football, watch him waltz into the England U-21's too.

From the very suspect Charlie32Austin Twitter account......
Thanks to all the Swindon fans for supporting me throughout my time at the club. However I've decided to hand in a transfer request because I feel that now is the right time to move in order to further my career. I've spoken with the chairman today & my future will be resolved over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime I'm still a Swindon Town player & will continue to give 100% for the cause as I have done all season.

After one great season (helped by Paynter) how can he possibly walk into a Celtic side??!! Yes he has great potential but at this moment in time he is living on the back of that ONE season. Of course we all know he is going to leave at some point but no player is bigger than the club. Some great players have left thinking they are on to the big bucks- Billy Payntor, Lucas Jutciewicz, Rhys Evans, even Super Sam and they all probably agree that sometimes it pays to be a big fish in a 'small' pond. good luck warming the bench.

Announcing that on Twitter would make the club very happy....  I hope it's fake... but I'm not that bothered. |

To be honest for 90% of the games Celtic play I'd be able to play for them and score a few. Charlie would score shitloads. |

Not been much this season? Apart from the last few games, Austin has been having another good season (Made even more difficult given the way the rest of the team have performed). Great Players can in no way include Lukas Jukebox or Rhys Evans. |

True jukebox and evans not great players but ones we have cashed in on, now cos we have an unhappy player on our books austin's fee is halved. Im annoyed cos he has only played ONE full season with us and I think he owes us more than that, I mean 18months ago he was bricklaying! He will go on strike next and then what?
