Maybe the price tag put clubs off, which actually may be the case with Austin.

I would have thought spending some big money on replacing the player who's pretty much single handedly kept us up for years was a must. I wasn't expecting to find ourselves with the Blackburn centre forward as our main replacement for him, very underwhelming.

Indeed . £15m should of gone on Austin and big wages. As it stands we are now fucked. He will cost even more come January aswell .

With five months left on his contract?

We'll file this alongside all the other things that you've not thought through properly.

Not my valuation that was the sort of number being banded about in the summer
Jan is always an inflated window with panic buys the norm

Think. Sweet tapdancing christ, think.

Well it was your valuation because it was you that said he'd cost more in Jan. He won't as he'll be available on a free 5 months later. So who on earth is going to spend £16m+ in Jan?

Yes, players with five months on their contract always sell for more than players with ten months left.

It's just the way things work.

[silhillvilla]

Probably closer to about £8m in Jan

We're stuck with RL I'm afraid. No one has bought a Premier League club since the Arabs bought Citeh. It's just not where the smart money is going.

Apart from the people who bought Blackburn, Fulham, Liverpool, QPR, Blues and Sunderland.

Fulham were the last the year that they went down.

Liverpool were bought after that I think.

That will teach me to pause and eat more pizza before posting.

Oh yeah. That'll learn me to think before I post.
