SIGNING RUMOUR.

Tue Jan 15, 2013 5:29 pm

This is just rumour I've heard doing the rounds up my way.....

A £4m deal is very close for Charlie Austin! And a loan deal is close for Cameron Jerome!

I don't know how true they are if at all close. Just posting what I was told!

2 strikers? Or would one be back up for a failed deal?

Snaffling Charlie Austin would not only give us a great chance to win the title, it would also show intent for the top flight. Austin will be a premier league player in August. Hopefully it'll be with us. He's in the Lambert/Holt mould of scoring whatever division he's in

Getting either would be a top piece of business! Getting both would just be unreal :ayatollah:

What has Austins scoring been like over the last 10 games or so?

For some reason he dont excite me, im not sure why though because he is obviously a very good goal scorer. Could just be because he was so anonymous in our game.

I'd cream if we signed Austin, with the service we can provide he would easily pass the 30 goal mark :ayatollah:

Perhaps he's been day-dreaming of his move to Cardiff

You're right regarding the game against us, he was was well dealt with by our defenders that day, but he would undoubtedly score goals if he played for us.

In fairness signing him didnt really exctite me either, but if you look at his goal scoring record then it very very good so I think he would score goals in the Prem also same as Danny graham holt and lambert like city gent pointed out, he's a natural goalscorer they are hard to come by

Im not sure we create that many more chances than other clubs if im honest.

I know Austin has scored a lot this season but can anyone tell me how his goals came about ie where they all at the start of the season? or has he been consistent through the season so far?

Id love to know how many in his last 10 games

Re: SIGNING RUMOUR.

A signing like Austin would see us to the premiership no problem.

Don't know if this is any use http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/shared/bsp/hi/football/statistics/players/a/austin_438082.stm 77 goals in 142 apps

I would be really excited if we signed Charlie Austin, it would really state our ambition. Our style of play is very physical and with the service we have, we could really benefit from the physical presence of Austin, he knows where the goal is.

Merlin where have you heard of these runours? i know the daily mail has mentioned jerome to us but heard nothing about Austin? (apart from someone sending me a link to his wikipedia page saying that he plays for Cardiff)

merlin
stoke turned down a 3.5 million bid for jerome over the weekend so hardly likely to send him out on loan to us

Re: SIGNING RUMOUR.

Tue Jan 15, 2013 6:30 pm

We were prepared to pay 6.5m for Rodriguez if I'm right? Why not offer 4 million up front and then add in bonuses say we get promoted etc.

Agreed like Lambert, Holt or Graham, he would be class, not over impressed with Jerome mind, Austin is the level we need.. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
