This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 Quote big stu at 24 Aug 2015 8.38am Bottom line is, there are 4 maybe 5 clubs interested in Austin. he is just an out and out goalscorer which is what we need. Bamford scores goals but he wont be given the 90mins every week. wickham doesnt score many but puts himself about alot, same as murray. We need Austin not only for the goals but also to make Wickham take the next step up in his career and start to not only score goals but compete for the 9 position. Good post totally agree.

The support and atmosphere is why we are coming out on top now. Austin, you no you want too

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 The sad thing is that I doubt we are after Austin after signing Wickham. Therefore, I guarantee this website will go into meltdown when he signs for someone else, forgetting the fact we've done our business early and actually done pretty well, minus a centre back in this transfer window. I'd like Austin, but the post admin scars mean I'd be seriously concerned as to why we are buying him after also getting wickham. Players would have to move on. I highly doubt Austin wants to come here either. With QPR after Guediora (probably spelt wrong) a potential deal could have been struck all summer but hasn't been. Parish himself alluded to Austin not wanting to go to palace on talksport a few weeks ago. I hope people are sensible about this but I feel a McCormack/Nugent/Jose Baxter type response about s lack of ambition hitting this site as soon as Austin signs elsewhere, when ironically we've already moved on by signing Wickham. laddo "People say, live fast, die young.

Agreed strongly. If we sign Austin then the Wickham deal is the very definition of frivolous. Only way the Wickham deal seems like value at that point is if we can 100% move on Gayle for basically the same amount. At least then we've basically bought Austin and swapped the other two.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 Quote laddo at 24 Aug 2015 8.13am This is mental. Charlie Austin is a target man, as is Wickham, Murray and Chamakh (traditionally, although his role with us changed somewhat). He is absolutely nowhere near a similar player to Bamford. That kid is quick, like to get the ball deep and can actually play the number 10 role. If we were to get Austin, which I doubt seeing we got Wickham, then Murray will go. Laddo, I do agree with you (above). What I was comparing was not so much the two players in terms of individual skill sets as the roles they would need to fill at Palace. Wickham's role is target man more than goalscorer. The Bamford/Austin role is goalscorer. Yes, they are different sorts of players (something you explain very well) but my point (poorly explained, it seems) was that is the "shirt" that we expect the goals to come from, where Wickham/Murray's is the shirt we expect something other than "just goals" from. I think Wickham still has a role if Austin comes. Bamford is the one who's minutes I think will diminish. But I may be wrong. Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

But i agree about Austin being a goalscorer. He is the goal scoring target man all teams crave, Shearer-esque in terms of what a team thinks they're buying. Wickham 'potentially' is the same but needs 15-20 goals a season in him before he can be put on that shelf, hence the fact he cost 7m less than Austin, however he's five years younger so maybe his time will come. Unless we move Murray/Gayle/Campbell on I just don't think this deal will happen. The Sunday papers lazily suggested it and now people are longing for it to happen. My gut says it won't. My gut also says he'd do very well at palace. Unfortunately it won't happen and I fear this new found optimism on potentially landing Austin only for him to go elsewhere will see this site explode in negativity, even though we've never been in for him since wickham arrived.

As many have said, this only makes sense if both Murray and Gayle move elsewhere this week, which other 'rumours' suggest is on the cards. This might leave us on September 2nd with a strike force of Bamford, Wickham, Chamakh and Austin (Campbell is I think still injured)
