LFEE Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 With Berahinio I was under the impression he thought he should be playing champions league footy already or something ( ), if he does come here it at least shows he'd rather play than sit on the bench. I doubt we'll get him though. Austin would be a good signing from his goal scoring record, does he bring much to the team apart from goals though? Can he hold up the ball? I honestly haven't watched much of him. No just goals. QPR mates have all said he's great in the box but no good outside it with regards to linking up play or holding up the ball. As our team stands he'd be wasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 A good box player wouldn't be bad for you, in my humble opinion. Most of the squad seem terrified of the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Didn't realise he got 18 goals last season in the league til now. I had assumed he had got about 12. 18 goals for QPR is class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gino14 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Cisse doesn't do a lot else either really, but this idea that it's "just goals" is undervaluing goals just a bit. Cisse was injured or suspended for most of last season and even with that, we'd have been relegated without his goals, even though he does little else. I also wouldn't be too quick to judge Charlie Austin's all round play on that QPR team. They didn't really have any patterns of play to speak of, so the only time Austin could get involved most of the time was when the ball dropped for him in the box.

Deuce Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Chelsea linked. Guess it depends what he's after. Would be the 3rd choice striker for Chelsea (assuming they lock up Falcao and/or shift Remy), play sparingly, but win a trophy or two. Or play every day for us, a team slightly better than QPR last season, and not seriously challenge for anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gino14 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 If Chelsea come in for Austin he'll go there. Most players back themselves and also get their ego boosted to back themselves by their money desiring agents. Austin would be offered 2-3 times the money he'd get here and be at a much more ambitious club. That's what he'll think of when he signs for them in that scenario. I can only see them wanting him though if they want another good home grown player. As it stands they have Costa, seem to be chasing Falcao and Remy doesn't seem to want a move. I doubt Remy will agitate for a move either, since he's at a big team, on massive money and won't get a bigger team. He might want more games, but for now the success at Chelsea seems to be enough to keep him happy. I think it's unlikely Chelsea will actually buy Austin, but if they do go for him, we'll be out of the running. Cisse doesn't do a lot else either really, but this idea that it's "just goals" is undervaluing goals just a bit. Cisse was injured or suspended for most of last season and even with that, we'd have been relegated without his goals, even though he does little else.

They didn't really have any patterns of play to speak of, so the only time Austin could get involved most of the time was when the ball dropped for him in the box. Neither do we though, I'd be fine with this otherwise. I'm hopeful that might change under McClaren. I'm not confident it will, but we have to hope for better than under Pardew and Carver, otherwise we might as well just all give up now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 To be fair to Austin he's someone I wouldn't begrudge of taking a punt at someone like Chelsea the journey he's been on. It's not like someone who's 20-21 going from a good top 6/8 club too soon. This is his shot at the big time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 We won't sign him. We will end up buying no strikers or centre half with probably a left back and midfielder signed from Afghanistan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
