I'm calling it now but I can see Liverpool making a bid for Austin in Jan.

Wait for the £30m bid from them for Benteke.

Charlie Austin scores a penalty and two close range goals from corners against the Tescos, who are garbage, and suddenly he should be in the England squad? No wonder we do naff all at international level.

'Onset 'Arry imaginatively wants to sign Andros Townsend on loan in January. He must have the most limited list of transfer targets of any manager not under an embargo in football history. I can't believe people seriously thought that joker should be England Manager.

Yes because everything is shit, I can imagine that with over 2 years left on his contract we'll sell him to Liverpool for less than we got them to part with for Downing.

If that's the basis of valuation we ought to be able to screw them for about £200 m

Ithink scoring goals from close range is every bit as good as a "worldie"

He wouldn't get the chance to do that from corners against proper international defenders.

Isn't it more that he should be in the England squad because he has scored considerably more goals than any other English striker in the Premier League? What else should it really be based on?

It's not like picking him is going to keep out dozens of other world-class strikers is it?

He wouldn't get the chance to do that from corners against proper international defenders.

Incidentally, West Brom's defence yesterday contained three full international defenders, an England u-21 full-back and England's second-choice goalkeeper.

You mean defenders like Lescott and Mcauley?

Fair points, gents,but I do think he's a very average player suddenly being talked up after a purple patch

But like I say, he doesn't need to be Alan Shearer to be considered for England at the moment. Average is better than most of the other options, so I can't see any reason why he wouldn't be called up.
