olliemort Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 The worrying thing about today's defensive performance is fat mike might think we will get away with signing no more defenders when in reality big mike is very close to the team still even though he doesn't seem to be rated by McClaren. I hope to god they care to realise at this stage that taylors a ticking time bomb from picking up a season ending injury. On the Austin thing I would much prefer him than cisse, thought he was excellent whenever I have seen him play. I wonder if we signed him what that would mean...would we go two up front.

Hard to know Doubt we will play two strikers; at least not very often. Think I prefer Austin too, but underwhelmed as strangely 'bonded' to Mitro already. Actually since that pic at Hilton, when he looked like a proper Gateshead lad, just strolling out of Wheelers...albeit 20 years earlier (...must have Chancel). Attachment reinforced today, when raw as he is he was totally up for it and honest. What you see, is what .... shatters yer cheekbones! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Think we might bring in a young centre back if Williamson goes, but otherwise I reckon it's over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've been convinced all summer we'd sell Cisse and sign Austin if we can pull the fees closer together. Still think it will happen. Don't particularly want it to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 £3.6m?, yeah not a chance they're accepting that for Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 If we are selling Cisse we arguably need two strikers in, that said I wouldn't be that disappointed with Austin in, Cisse out. I am fast running out of patience with Cisse and he is getting on in years. It hasn't helped he has had zero service and I think he could still be useful for us, given service but given the choice of him or Austin I would pick the latter, who is in form and I think offers more. We still need a pacey striker that can create something out of nothing, not sure about the something out of nothing but Rolan definitely has pace, versatility and potential so it doesn't surprise me to see us still linked. None of the above helps us fix our need for another defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 £3.6m?, yeah not a chance they're accepting that for Cisse. 30 years of age with a dodgy knee. I dont think we can command a hugh price for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we can command a hugh price for him. Not being funny but it's not like it would be the first time we asked for too much and ended up getting nothing. I'd rather keep him anyway, not particularly convinced Austin would be any better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is high on the list of players to be moved on, personally I wouldnt be fussed either way but I dont think we can ask to much for him.

Teasy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 No idea about any dodgy knee (has he ever failed a medical) but he scores goals and still has 2 years left on his contract. £3.6m is a pathetic amount, if he only had a year left then maybe we should consider that sort of fee, but not right now.

Interpolic Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 If we hadn't signed a few decent players this summer we'd have got relegated.

He has in a way, paying the going rate and not constantly looking for cut price deals is a change in direction. Don't think he'll go as far as we need mind and I don't expect this window to be a regular thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
