Don't believe the hype! Austin is a decent striker but not yet a proven striker in the Premier League. Yes he scored lots of goals in a s***e team but their problem never was scoring. They leaked goals. QPR are asking silly money as he is English. Did they pay that much a year ago? He is not that much better. I also love the way we as a fan group are now at the stage of 'It's only £15 million.' That's a lot of money. It's a fair chunk of a redeveloped main stand. It's never just about the money it's value for money.
Gestede possibly going for 8/9 million, we apparently offered over 9 million for Gomis ( 30 year old), Ross Mcormack 11 million last year. You think the 3 Englishman are overpriced? Why.
Well, in my opinion, Berahino aside, they've only done it for one season which I don't think constitutes paying a ridiculous premium or substantially more than the equivalent Championship players. As for Berahino himself, he's just about ambled into double figures for the past two seasons I believe (very similar player to Gayle IMO and only marginally better) yet has been talked of as 'England's saviour'...thank heavens Harry Kane put an end to that. Back to the other two, there's no doubt they know where the goal is but as others have pointed out, Austin was part of QPR's gun ho approach which saw them leak lots of goals and Burnley weren't too compact either (sure pens added to both tallies too?). I'd prefer Jordan Rhodes myself, pay 10-12 million for a player who simply cannot stop scoring, wherever, whenever and however.
That being said, would take Rhodes or Austin in a heartbeat

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 Reports (I think a north east rag) suggests Austin is holding out for Chelsea. If they bought him can't see them making Remy stay. If rather have Remy so if Pards could manage it and with a bit of luck... You never know. That said why Austin would want to play in Chelsea's reserve team and occasionally from the bench I don't know. He'd have to be behind Costa and Falcao.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 D J Campbell was the 6th highest scorer in prem 2010/11. Very similar to Austin with 13 goals for Blackpool. Enough said. Austin is over hyped, over rated and over priced.

Personally, I think Austin is the perfect striker for our system, A physical presence and great finisher, to latch onto supply from the wings. And although 15 million sounds alot, its probably a fair price in todays ridiculous market.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 SKY SPORTS: Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe is ready to smash the club's transfer record by paying £14million for QPR striker Charlie Austin, according to reports in the Sun on Sunday. The south-coast club have already broken their record once this summer with the signing of left-back Tyrone Mings from Ipswich, but reports state they could be set to beat it once more.

Fair play to Bournmouth giving themselves a chance of staying up if they pull this off will be 2 great signings

Looks like the bidding war is due to begin. I suspect the successfull club will need to top £15m

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 apparently Newcastle have had a bid accepted by him according to the most reliable commentator on Twitter (if that's possible) - Max Jacobs.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Charlie Austin (rumour)' by james03 I know £15 million is a lot of money for Austin but should we stay up next year that will be peanuts with the new TV deal coming in the season arfter next.
