Ally Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 We've clearly taken a step back. Not that it would have made a difference. Good signing for them. Shane long please? Nah I'd pass on Shane Long. One of those players that accumulates massive transfer fees but never really delivers anywhere other than against us? Everyone plays well against us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 QPR turning down £12m in the summer, now they're going to get £4m six months later , said this kind of thing would happen. We should definitely be in their at that price though. they would have been banking on him bringing them back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 How is it clear we've taken a step back? Because it suits my agenda. No seriously I think we lost our interest in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Much better than our season I don't think we were interested from the start. Would have been more likely to score the goals to keep us up than Mitrovic. Well we did bid for him like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Wow, didn't even know this was on the cards. Will be interesting to see how he does straight away. Southampton have done well. Not having the best of seasons but acting before things get too desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 done what we should have done in the summer, securing someone who scores goals rather than gambling on players who've never played in the league. We should have been in for him, I do wonder if he wasn't willing to come. (He may well have been in Summer when he didn't know what a shambles we'd be) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I know he's out of contract in the summer but £4m is remarkably cheap in this market. If we weren't willing to better that then I can only assume there's something wrong with him physically that we're not willing to gamble on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 NUFC only missed out on Charlie Austin if he would have even entertained the idea of coming here. Rumours were he wanted to stay down South (or at least his wife supposedly did). £4m is a bargain. This deal was done quietly. If Charlie Austin was interested in going elsewhere his agent would have leaked the fact a £4m fee would secure him to generate interest from other clubs.

Mick Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 What if he didnt want to come here?

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35333790 "As soon as Southampton showed an interest that was the one club I wanted to go to," said Austin, who was linked with a move to Newcastle last summer. "You see the progression from when I was playing against Southampton for Swindon. For me, it was important to come to a club that's on the up and that's what I've got here."
