Polter scored again too today


I did read somewhere that if Austin scores 12 goals this season we get 500k so if there's any truth in that I'm happy for QPR he scored

Pleased for him, hope he does enough for an England call up.

4m isn't what he's worth, we all know that, but it is what he was worth to us with 6 months left of his contract and no intention of extending his stay here.

well done Chas.

In the final analysis

A) We Purchase Charlie Austin at £4 million .

B) He scores 86 goals in 164 games , an English Striker with 18 goals in the premier league last season in a terrible, arthritic , decrepit team.

C) we then sell Charlie Austin for £4 million .

Something somewhere went Badly wrong between points A and C to end up with a fee you'rd get for a latvian left back with one functioning testicle. Johnny Ball aint gonna tell me any different.

I realise we cant afford principals with FFP hanging over us like a spear of destiny but id rather he fu cked off for nothing and we retained a bit of dignity. Rather than scamper round on the dirty floor scuffling up southamptons loose change like filthy super tennants soaked beggars.

i hope they gave fernandes the elastic band off their Wad so he can keep his flapping tramp shoes together.

Makes The Rowlands/Dowie /Trevor Sinclair Transfer Seem like a canny bit of business that Jordan Belfort would Chuck a dwarf at in admiration.

Not angry, just fked off.

Austin created the free kick too with some physical play in the corner. So he set up the free kick, and then headed it in. ManU fans were upset.

There are times when you are slightly over the top but I think that comment is a step too far

Not really. Just a gamble on getting the right money for him in the summer, which we didn't get. If we'd sold him for less than we'd asked for, the club would have got dogs abuse from idiot fans.

At this stage when we were expecting he would be signing a pre-contract somewhere, he's got a chance to go to a club he wanted, and asked to leave, allowing us to get an unexpected fee, and not have to pay his wages for the remainder of his contract.

Not really sure what the club were meant to do. We could only sell him if he wanted to sign for whoever was bidding, not sure how we expect the club to control either.

Unless you think we should have got him to sign a new contract, which is fairer perhaps but we have no idea whether we offered him one, or whether he wanted to sign a new contract anyway.

Wish we had a striker that could do that........

Here we go again.

We didn't sell Charlie Austin in the summer because he didn't want to go to any of the clubs that made offers. He didn't want to sign a new contract either - he wanted to run down his contract and get a big money (for him) free transfer to a big club. Then Southampton came in for him....

So how are the club at fault? It's all about player power. Charlie had us over a barrel, and good luck to him. £4 million is better than nothing.

I do, but only when they didn't perform for us.

I've got a little bit of shit-on-the-liver about Charlie (see my post above) but nothing serious.

In fact, I'd have to say he gets bonus points for scoring the winner at OT.

There needs to be the full picture here.

We sign Charlie for £4m. After another club decided that medically he constituted some element of risk that meant they (Hull) were not comfortable paying several MILLION pounds against.
We took a risk - albeit on a player that had a consistently outstanding goal scoring record at every level he's played. We signed Charlie by offering a three year contract on, no doubt, more wages than he had ever earned before. A fee and no doubt some reasonable wages. A risk.

Charlie does very very well for us.
We were, for once, rewarded for taking a risk.

At some point over the intervening two years (no doubt when we were in the Premier League) we must surely have offered a new contract. I'm assuming Charlie's agent advised to "concentrate on your football, focus on keeping scoring the goals, and we'll see where both we and QPR are at the end of the season". In other words, thanks for the offer, we want to consider contracts after the season ends. Standard conduct.

QPR are relegated. Charlie has, meanwhile, shone.
QPR try to sign Charlie to a longer contract. "Come on Charlie, we want you, your happy, your family are happy, why not sign this new contract".

He never did. The club under performed, as ever.
What else could the club do?
Nothing except at least cash in as much as possible, and maintain a very good relationship with a modern day club legend.
To coat the club is naive and petty and pathetic.
