This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 Reports (I think a north east rag) suggests Austin is holding out for Chelsea. If they bought him can't see them making Remy stay. If rather have Remy so if Pards could manage it and with a bit of luck... You never know. That said why Austin would want to play in Chelsea's reserve team and occasionally from the bench I don't know. He'd have to be behind Costa and Falcao.

Very similar to Austin with 13 goals for Blackpool. Enough said. Austin is over hyped, over rated and over priced. 3 major differences I would say 1)Austin scored 5 more, which in the prem is quite a big difference 2)Austin has backed it up by scoring alot of goals pretty much every season, unlike Campbell who had a bit of a 'flash in the pan' 3) Austin is 5 years younger than Campbell was so is highly unlikely to decline so rapidly. Personally, I think Austin is the perfect striker for our system, A physical presence and great finisher, to latch onto supply from the wings. And although 15 million sounds alot, its probably a fair price in todays ridiculous market. Crystal Palace-dominating without the ball since 2011
