lovejoy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Austin stinks of a one season wonder, and he probably wasn't that good anyway. nah, i think he'll prove to be a good striker, he's got a lot to his game i think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Austin stinks of a one season wonder, and he probably wasn't that good anyway. In a squad full of zero season wonders he'd be quite good tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Haven't seen much of Austin, but his record suggests he's a natural goal scorer. At every level he's played at he's scored a bucket load. No idea if we'll sign him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'd like to hear what the QPR fans think before making judgement. We all know from Pardew and other players how easy it is to make judgements. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Definitely, though that's more to do with being taken in by Pardew's bull shit and smarm rather than his record, which is garbage. Still I'd be interested in hearing what QPR fans think of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Definitely, though that's more to do with being taken in by Pardew's bull s*** and smarm rather than his record, which is garbage. Still I'd be interested in hearing what QPR fans think of him. I know several QPR fans and basically in a nutshell CA is good inside the box and poor outside the box. Totally unsuited to us really.

Unbelievable Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 That's the impression I get. Would much rather we went for Ings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I haven't seen that many QPR games this season - god forbid - but from the couple or so I have seen, I get the feeling Austin would be a good partner for people like De Jong or Ayoze that are better playing around the box. He seems a clever striker, knowing his way inside the box. Also a good physical presence. Imho you need a man with that profile. I'm still wary of him being a one-season wonder though. Still, all the WWE pun potential makes it worth the risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need someone who can put the cross in and then finish it themselves. Basically needs to create his own chances because no chance of anyone else doing it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Now that I'm looking at his stats, he's always been a steady enough goalscorer. I know scoring 15+ in the C'ship isn't all that much, but makes me feel confident that he'd do the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Seems to be a 1 in 2 or better striker anywhere he has been. Will instantly become a 1 in 38 striker if we get him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard 13 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Smells a little of Amir Zaki for me but I think he would get goals. As good as he is going to be now tho, where as I think Ings has greater potential and offers a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouldy_uk Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Watched a few games with Austin in and thought he was pretty decent. Would hope we bring in someone else as well up front </wishful_thinking> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hope we get Austin. Richards would be a good signing IF we keep Janmaat as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard 13 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Richards is exactly the type of player we should avoid. Hell end up at West From or somewhere on a stupid contract. Also is not a centre half. Not sure about Austin/Cisse as our two forwards mind. I'd like to see some pace in the front lines. Someone who can scare defenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'd take Austin. Him as the focal point for Ayoze, Cabella & De Jong to play around. Sissoko in middle with someone who sits and controls the play (Cabaye would be fucking perfect but we know it'll be Colback) and I like the look of that.

Cronky Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I wouldn't be able to resist signing Richards. He's an amazing talent, but it seems to me that because so much came so easily to him, he never made the effort to iron out the faults in his game. Lazy, basically. McClaren gave him lots of chances in the England team, so maybe he'll be able to bring out the best in him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
