Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[mr woo]

With ref to Silhillvillas 'carlsberg post'...  (I'm struggling to quote it on a phone)...

Well, it's not ideal is it to be fair? I think you're being a little harsh on the original poster.

Is there a bit of history here?

[Summers]

Talking to him on Weds? What will we be doing on Monday and Tuesday then?

He's busy talking to QPR and Newcastle on Monday and Tuesday.

We've got to make sure the Benteke cheque is cashed first......

[Summers]

I'd like Austin at Villa. He'll cost more than some of the names (of similar or better quality) around Europe.. but he'll hit the ground running. He knows the league. We need a striker who won't need to settle. It's a smart move.

Not 100% sure it'll happen, but I'm all for this.. However.. I'm also the one person who wouldn't be against Adebayor coming in if the deal was financially right.

[Matt Collins]

That oulare looks like an absolute beast and very promising

But he's 19, not a regular starter yet and only has two league goals. So would have to be backed up with someone to go straight in

Wouldn't be at al averse to Austin as long as we have a plan to integrate him. I don't think he's a target man

Fox explained earlier:

met Austin on Monday
Took him for a drink on Tuesday
We were talking by Wednesday
And on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

Well the first installment anyway. They are buying him on HP.

I wouldn't mind Adebayor either you equally dopey git

Wouldn't touch Adebayor with a barge's wotsit, and that Austin geezer just ain't good enough imho.


Look elsewhere.

Austin will score goals given the service. His goalscoring record has been superb at wherever level he's played at, including in a very poor QPR team.

[Duncan Shaw]

We're in danger of being like the redscouse over Benteke if we think Austin isn't god enough for us.

I kind of agree, but possibly not for the reasons you meant.  If we sign Austin then we will need to sign another player of a comparable value to create the chances for him.  Said it before, but Jovetic is scratching his arse at City and would be an ideal loan/purchase.

Very true. He'd do for me.

[cdbearsfan]

I honestly haven't seen enough of Austin to judge. His scoring record is very good. Is he "just" a goalscorer like Bent used to be or can he hold the ball up and bring others into the game too?

yeh maybe but I think there is creativity in our side. I think of how Gil and Grealish will mature, Sinclair, and also now Amavi. To your point I think we'll buy a couple more too I imagine, maybe not of that value but good players. And also QPR found ways to get the ball to him so I think we'd be ok.
