This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 Now that everyone's back from CPT I'd expect negotiations over Guediora to get moving over the next day or two. I'd be shocked if Austin's name didn't at least come into the conversation. Bottom line is that we have assets QPR value (possibly not just Guediora) and no one is meeting their asking price for Austin. Furthermore we fit the bill in terms of what Austin wants: stay in London, top 10 team. My wild guess is that if we really want Austin, something will be worked out. Watch this space.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 Reports today saying he wants 85k a week, and it's putting everyone off, that is a serious wage demand, add that to his price tag, going to be expensive.

For once we actually have players with currency. Even those who didn't make many appearances for us these days, are actually valuable players to many Championship clubs. Pretty sure Pep, one more player, and cash might just do this deal. It's great just to have "surplus," players that clubs want!

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 Austin tweeted a pic of mr man mr Greedy thee. Other day as to say the rumours of 80k a week are rubbish,a player + cash deal would be better for QPR as they would'nt have to give Burnley much money in any sell on fee.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 The resounding silence might be good news. 85k wages aren't a demand; they're a negotiating position. Also, they're easy to handle if you use incentive clauses and if he scores 20 goals, no one will mind the outlay. I've never particularly wanted Austin but as other clubs sign their forwards (Newcastle last week, Villa this, etc.) he's in danger of being left beside the dance floor without a partner. He'll know this, and also knows it weakens his bargaining position. As possible destinations disappear, our chance of signing him gets better and better (which is the value of patience...risk letting everything play out with other clubs and if you're the last man standing, you'll get the player at your price.) I would not be shocked if this one happened within a week; I'd expect at least two of Bannan, Guediora and possible even Mariappa to be involved going the other way.

As always, a good point well made Syd. The player(s) plus fee route was 'rumoured' a few weeks ago - 2 players from the short list you mentioned. It didn't have traction then, but as you say, his bargaining position will weaken now, the nearer to PL kick off we get. No mention of Slimani anywhere, sadly
