Surely that signals incoming then. I know he has not been great this season, but with Gabba gone, Ings always injured, why would we let another option go without a replacement coming in? | | | |

Just read that myself
Would be a shame as he certainly a v good goalmoption from the bench
Surely this means a new striker is imminent??
Anyone ITK? Really ITK | | | |

Like that article says, Redmond is now being used more centrally and Ralph must think Obafemi is up to it when fit. Less bothered about this than the centre back situation. | |

There has to be players incoming. I don't buy all this tiny squad b.s.
Letting 4 or 5 players go weakens the squad there can be no doubt. Even just from a numbers point of view - and we're not that strong to begin with.
They must have people lined up. | | | |

What tiny squad bs?
None of the players leaving are particularly important so what’s the point in keeping miserable overpaid failures? We need to sign at least one good centre half and probably a right back if Cedric leaves.
We are scoring enough goals to win games if the defenders do their bit. | |

Yes.
Either that or we're going down! | | | |

Its all good, get rid of the dross, dont spend a penny, Ralph will keep us up and then he is given a tidy budget in the summer which he will use to pick his own players, watch us fly next season. | |

He wants Young mixed with a few pros he fancies giving Gallagher a chance up front I guess | | | |
| Austin allowed to leave on 09:38 - Jan 26 with 1998 views | SonicBoom |
How long is it going to be before the club realises Gallagher isn't good enough. I'd rather bin him and keep Charlie. If he was going to make it he'd have played a lot more for us by now. | | | |

He wants a squad of 18 or so senior players with young players making up the rest of the squad. He wants players that are hard working and team players. The outgoers are not that type. Im not bothered about any of them going. | |

Charlie Austin, Goalmoption. That should be a thing. | | | |
| Austin allowed to leave on 11:32 - Jan 26 with 1885 views | benalisbroom |
Are they still going after that super fast French striker at Leipzig? He, Redmond and Ings up front with Obafemi on the bench - a quick front line...
Good luck to Charlie but it does feel like it’s right to move him on. | | | |

Too bloody true mate, Gallagher is a useless static lump | | | |

Many of us are. Ever heard of Death of a thousand cuts? | | | |

Oh good, another new breed needy worry arse. Want want want, now now now. It’s also ‘death BY a thousand cuts’ and the phrase makes no sense in this context. You’re welcome | | | |

We can't use words like legend or talisman about a player who only been at the club a few years...yet somehow Charlie fits the bill of "old-fashioned centre forward " we'd got used to along with Beattie, Lambert and Pelle (maybe Kirby and Davies for older fans).
Like those mentioned, in his own way Charlie is "a real character," and I for one will miss him when he goes, but with younger talents coming along he's here on borrowed time.
His career's been ruined by a couple of fluke injuries, and having to "re-make himself " when the next new manager came along. Nevertheless Charlie has managed to grab a goal or two in vital games and help win points. Right from the his last-gasp winner on his debut at Old Trafford. ..down to the most recent match-winning goal v. Arsenal.
Alas, with 30 soon on the horizon, and a lack of pace, he won't be able to handle a 90 minute game in Ralph's new style set-up. He'll be a real bonus for a club who play with wingers who can give him the right service, and I'm certain he'll score more goals.
If any of the clubs menetioned do bid for him, we may even get our modest fee back in the auction and even a bit of small change over. Good luck Charlie - you deserve some . | | | |

These 'interested' clubs must be right mugs, surely the clue is in "He can leave when he wants". Surely they've deduced that he's rubbish just by watching him waddle about aimlessly at half speed. | |

If the ball drops to him around the six yard box he's probably still our best finisher.
Problem is it rarely does and out side of that he offers very little so we end up carrying him.
He seems a good lad though and I bet he's a good laugh in the squad. | | | |

If he was desperate to stay a part of Ralph's plans he could have hit the gym a bit harder instead of the local bakery. He's paid back his transfer fee a few times over but it's definitely time for him to move on. If by the start of next season we're not relying on 'Chaz' and 'Shlong' for goals then we'll be in a good position again. | | | |

That’s what it looks like to me too and I haven’t got a problem with it at all. | | | |

That winner against Man Utd paid back his transfer fee straight away. | |

I’ve never really got this saying. Did it? Yes I know he’s a cheap buy on today’s market. Was that goal worth £4m? | |
