AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 He must be worth £15m like, anyone getting him for less than that is getting a good deal in the current market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 That's f***ed it. We won't bid anywhere near that. Not that it comes as much of a suprise. A couple of cheap 3rd rate signings of rivière standard towards the back end of the window and that'll be our lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 TBF I reckon Riviere could actually do alright. Not that it's good enough, but ye kna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 He must be worth £15m like, anyone getting him for less than that is getting a good deal in the current market. Van Persie was probably the best player in the PL when he went to Man Utd and that was only 20m with one year left. Austin is mainly a poacher who has had one season in the PL. 15m is still a lot of money anywhere outside England and we could get a lot better player for that price from abroad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Well if Leicester can bid £12m why can't we just bid around £13-£14 for him as we have over £50m already banked. Wouldn't rule that out tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 We don't even need a striker that urgently compared to other positions. I'd rather spend it on a midfielder that can pass, a winger or a centre half Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Didnt these sign that Japan striker last week? Makes little sense they are bidding £12m with him, Ulloa & Kramaric all there without even having a manager....not like the rest of their team is great.

Add to that Van Persie was also quite a bit older, meaning his value was only ever going to decrease during the course of his time with Man United. Those who think QPR will not get 15m for Austin need a reality check imo. TV money is ever increasing, as is the importance of investing to stay in the Premier League. This is something which everybody from Leicester to Watford seem to realise, but seems sadly lost on wor Mike. We simply need to spend big to stand still, let alone progress, or we will get sucked in the relegation battle again and come out the wrong side of it (again) sooner rather than later.

Nowadays 10m gets you a promising youngster or a good player from the Championship, not a number 9 who has just scored 18 in his debut season in the Premier League.

Unbelievable Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'm sure everybody would triggs, but even abroad teams are wising up to the riches in the Premier League and not letting their best players go for a pittance. I mean, look at what Man U paid PSV for Depay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays 10m gets you a promising youngster or a good player from the Championship, not a number 9 who has just scored 18 in his debut season in the Premier League. No one will spend £10m on a youngster or a Championship player unless they have got something special about them and a real chance of making it to the top. Generally only a player who shows signs of potential will tempt a club to pay that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I'm not suggesting 10m isn't the top end of the Championship market. I was merely illustrating the point that nowadays 15m will not get you a striker who scored 18 goals in the PL last season, last year of contract or not.

Guest Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 It's the going rate for a lower mid-table striker. As shown by Leicester being happy to spend £12m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Bacca for 20m who has scored 20+ 3 years running or Austin for 15m. I know what I'd rather do, saying it's the going rate is an easy cop out. There are players across Europe who are much better and going for similar fees or just a little more. Because it's the going rate doesn't mean you should pay it, there are other leagues around then just the premier league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 No chance we'll spend more than £12m on him so I guess the only hope we have is Leicesters offer was spread over 4 years and we are willing to pay upfront. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I don't really care either way on this one (mainly because fuck NUFC), but I wouldn't completely discredit the fact Austin performed in the PL. There are plenty of big money foreign signings that don't do well over here for various reasons (or at least not in their 1st season), and I think proven-in-the-premier-league is worth paying for. Not that 1 year is the be all end all. But as I say, my most pressing opinion on this matter is fuck NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
