Apparently he has a bad knee injury - he was brokered for a move to Everton and it fell through as they had would not have been able to get Charlie  Austin inured.  I have this from a good source, someone who was working at Everton until he got a manager's job in non league.

Charlie Austin has hardly smashed the Championship to pieces this season . Desperate though we are, I'm not sure he's what we are looking for. Mobility and presence.

Maybe worth looking at Benjamin Moukandjo or Alberto Paloschi and sign Léo Bonatini - this striker will develop into a top class player over next couple of years.

Sort of thing you would expect to read on April 1st. That's got to be bullshit hasn't it?

I see the Telegraph has us linked with Charlie Austin according to the BBC gossip page.

Austin is on a Bosman at the end of the season so I reckon he'll sit tight and chance getting a megadeal in wages for next season, what with all the summer talk of £90k a week and £5m signing on fee.

Would be happy giving Austin a go although I don't know how much the club would be willing to pay on him, or what kind of wages.

I would also be happy if we start giving Kozak some bloody games, but that would seem a pipe dream.

Austin at £8m or so wouldn't be too bad - the figures mooted in the summer were ridiculous

Callum Chambers can't get in the Arsenal squad. I wonder if he'd want to come and play left back for us.

He is a right back or CH not a left back
