So it seems palace have pulled out of signing austin because they think 15 million is to steep, newcastle are getting edgy over the fee rangers want as well. Well i think in todays market 15 million for a english striker like chaz is bloody cheap, really we should be getting 20 million plus for him, i cant understand why these clubs are unwilling to pay such a cheap price!
AND WHEN I DREAM , I DREAM ABOUT YOU AND WHEN I SCREAM I SCREAM ABOUT YOU!!!!!
Maybe there are some doubts about his fitness . He still plays every game with heavy shoulder strapping to stabilise it after the dislocation . He failed the Hull medical which must have shown something even if it does not affect him . I think he would be better off to stay with us ...
I'd pick Austin over Remy every day. Scored regularly in a worse team, and still young enough to get better. And the "better person" thing counts on the pitch too. Putting yourself at risk of getting arrested doesn't really help the team selection process, nor does feccking off to another club while stringing your current employers along.
I may be naive here, but I don't see going to Palace as that much of a step up for Charlie, Premiership notwithstanding. Not sure he wouldn't be better banging in a hatful of goals in the Champ and then going in the December window - there's bound to be someone in the Premiership desperate for a striker then and willing to gamble big wages against the cost of going down.
Newcastle would be a different matter, for all their incompetence as a club the profile is better.
Not sure it necessarily matters what he goes for. Whatever it is, the owners will make the decision as to what happens to those funds. A couple of million either way probably won't make any difference to them. So why worry? It's not our cash.....
Yeah. If he was playing for a 'big club', he'd be worth a lot more.
Given the amount of money you get for being in the premier league nowadays, it's a false economy selling him for 10 million. We'd have much more chance of going straight back up if he stayed with us.
Southampton paid £12 for Shane Long a year ago. So lets get this right...
1) he'd had 5 seasons in the prem with his best goal tally being 8 2) new premier league deal means all clubs are effectively 33% richer per season 3) Charlie's english which with new uefa rules inflates prices 4) Long was 2 years older
...and they offer us 10 million for Charlie.
why oh why do we get ripped off at every turn. We set 15 million and that's a bargain by today's standards. Newcastle, W.Ham and Southampton should be biting our arm off.
ps. thanks Rio for pointing out that City's Raheem is way over-priced. Couldn't he of just kept it buttoned until after the deal is done (if it happens now)
fantastic, we let remy go to chelsea for £10 million, he takes root on the bench all season like bill and ben the flowerpot men , and is now worth £5 million more.
bleedin football.

No, that's business. Remy sensibly had a clause saying he could go cheaper to a CL team, we went for it because we were desperate to sign him. He was worth £12m-£15m easily, but that's what release clauses are.
Even hypothetically; £10m doesn't make sense to me.
So 20 years after Les Ferdinand moved to Newcastle for £6m (with I think 10% ish going to Hayes) - with 20 years football inflation Austin is only worth £4m more?
We (accepting some degree of questionablity) sold Chris Samba for £12m after maybe 2 OK appearances in 10 for us.
I can't get past Ross McCormack moving for £11.5m no matter how much remaining contract length was involved.
If Chelsea are really taking offers of £15m for Remy I still think that's a bargain for someone.
Other clubs know we are a disaster when it comes to buying and selling players.. they know to stand firm and we'll crumble
Hopefully our new CEO is installed and actively negotiating deals, he has a very good CV and I genuinely think will improve our transfer business.
Why we kept Phil Beard on board for so long was a mistook, he was to blame for much of the failure in our transfer dealings, Harry just kept saying can I have one more player and the bloke thought it was a good idea..... , not that Hughes was any different.
Getting rid of Beard was long overdue, his expertise of project managing a new stadium, if it ever happens , can easily be outsourced.
Even hypothetically; £10m doesn't make sense to me.

I think should be asking more in the hope no one will pay it and he will lead us back to the prem next year... even if he goes for free in the summer...
a 20 milion gamble to get whatever millions the prem offer next year...
