This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 Our own Neil Ashton did a brilliant piece in the Mail yesterday as to why he hadn't yet moved. The conclusion of the article was could he still left at QPR once the window shuts and Neil's view reading between the lines was that he could well be. He is apparently regarded as a risk at the money being required due a cartilage injury and something else (can't remember what was said exactly) which, would undoubtedly come to light in any medical. He was also taken off 15 minutes from time last Saturday at Charlton with a knee injury. As the 1st September draws ever closer and he is still there then surely both his asking price will drop and wage demands (£85k a week??). His and QPR's problem is that the number of interested clubs has now reduced as they have probably got tired of waiting and gone elesewhere us being one if of course we were ever interested in the first place! I still fancy West Ham to take him.

With the arrival of Wickham and Bamford with the quality of murray, i doubt we'll have a look in but in my opinion we should just pay the 13m because he has more than proven that he can score goals.
No I thought not, so why would Steve Parish & Co their £13m, if QPR deduce their valuation to a realistic £13 then maybe worth a punt, plus on a footballing perspective I'm not convinced he is better than the players we already have so why pay £13m for a player that may or may not even sit on the bench, Cabaye at only £11.4m is a much better purchase as is Wickham.

On Sundays performance Wickham is the better bargain, he's younger and works harder, he created 4-5 chances not just for the one that hit the post which he outfought Mertesacker to get too, and he set up clear-cut chances for Lee, Puncheon, and others, with his unselfish play, Austin is a poacher, he works only for himself, his goal tally dived in the second half of the season once he was found out.

He may have got found out ( or QPR may have as a team) or lost a bit of form.

This, in spades. Obviously, time will tell how Wickham develops but the potential to make a lot of people eat there words is there. I agree with Sg & Syd. I was interested in Austin coming, but now we have a better (and cheaper) option in Wickham. Austin has injury issues with his knee and shoulder and 'may' be a 1 trick pony. Wickham is younger, has no injury issues, has scored in the prem for multiple seasons and is only 22. He has the ability, speed, size and potential to become a 15 - 20 goal a season striker if he progresses......

Don't know where that info comes from, as Newcastle are reported to have dropped their interest in Austin because QPR wont drop their price. [Link] Also can find nothing on the FA or FL sites relating to that fine. If it's true I feel an earthquake coming on as there's a lot of very strong feelings from the likes of other clubs that stayed within the FFP rules.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 This could still be on especially if Muzza and Gayle leave the club. have a feeling any deal could involve Guardiora. Steve Parish did say his hoping for two more signings, hopefully one of those a quality centre back.

I agree, QPR have open interest in a couple of our players and seeing as no one is looking likely to match the 15 Million they want for Austin he could end up leaving in a swap/player cash deal.
