Deal Done -Charlie completes move to Burnley

[Reg Smeeton]

Pretty sure he sucked off Mex behind the Arkells.

Haven't we all at some time or other?

[suttonred]

I'll take the 5th on that one..

Now that Austin's gone, can we have some of the stories about his personal habits?

According to 2 of his mates they said 90% of it was absolute bollocks.

He was a bit of a show off on a night out though, and according to them, he always was. His dads Brickwork firm wasnt small and he used to throw a bit of wedge around even before he went pro at Town. They said it hadnt changed him, just people paid attention to him, whereas before he was just a gobshite showing off and shooting off his mouth who everyone ignored.

They said he was starting to get a bit paranoid about it all though. Especially the rumour mill on facebook. It will do him good to get out of Swindon because it was becomming a right goldfish bowl for him, too much of a local celebrity.

Reminded me a bit of what Fowler said about playing for Liverpool. That it was the worlds biggest village.

So 10% was real....that's a fair chunk when it comes to misbehaving.

There is 1 bad rumour that is definately true.

It was going on before the Leeds away game (when he was actually in absolute top form), and there was a wall of silence from these lads, they still wont say. They said Fitton was properly pissed off about it as well.

In a town in west berks?

[Spencer_White]

probably.

I dont know, like I said they wouldnt tell me.

[Mexicano Rojo]

I didnt swallow

Charlie's being interviewed on Talk Spurt now.

[Spencer_White]

Hopefully they will post a version on the internet where they have edited out the 'you know's, then I can spend a third of my time listening to it.

[suttonred]

I really hope that was intentional?

[Ralphy]

He'll get brought down a peg or 2 in Burnley.

Frightening place for a night out.

[Abrahammer]

Highlights of the interview were that Eddie was a key factor in him choosing Burnley.  His targets for the furture are to play for England and one of the "big 4" premiership teams.

The thing I find most disappointing is that all last season we were told Charlie had kept his feet on the ground and that he loved playing for us. That's a mighty change this season.

I know we will get more money if he's a success, but I couldn't give a shit how he does now. Austin has all the ability but no class. I get the feeling he'll end up being someone like Bellamy for this reason - a gifted player but will never achieve what he's capable of. That said the right manager could tame the attitude.

Part of me thinks that perhaps the squad will be more focussed now golden boy is gone, but that's probably wishful thinking.
