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! |  |

Remy has pace and is a good goalscorer, but you can't rely on him to be fit week in, week out.
If we can't get £15m plus for Austin, we should keep him.
Half a season in the championship from Austin would probably be 10 - 15 goals and we could still probably flog him for £5m in January to som desperate team. |  | | |

I dont see why he wouldnt be sold for more in January. What ever team that would be looking at him then would be wanting hi to save their season but in addition would be signing him for a 3 year contract
Until clubs start actually making offers, everything else is hearsay. When Liverpool, Newcastle, Palace and West Ham are mentioned wanting him, please remember that as recent as 6 months ago, we could easily have been listed as a team that were interested in this type of player. Not long ago Southampton were mentioned. Have QPR gone on record as saying that they want a minimum of £15 million?
Are clubs allowed to make offers before the beginning of the transfer window? Or just not allowed to make the deal?
Although betting was suspended by three bookies, now with those that are left the odds are drifting on West HAm being his next club
Personally, I think it is a lot of lazy journalism...
Until a firm bid is either accepted or turned down by the club, I really dont see the need to get too bothered |  | | |

Considering we just bought 2 players from Swindon, i think it's safe to say you can make offers now, yes.
As for the old lazy journalism line - the laziest criticism of journalists there is - I don't think it's lazy - it's just what they have to do as part of their job. An agent will tell them a club may be interested (whether it's true or not), they report that interest so that their website can get more clicks. Sadly, this goes way beyond the laziness or otherwise of football journos. It's about what stories people click on. And the Metro and the Mail in particular know that people click on transfer stories. Are all of the stories true? No. Are most of them true? Well, there's probably an element of truth to it. But the Southampton story only really came up because a lot of us said Southampton would be a good move for Austin. I'm not sure if they were ever officially linked. The thing is, probably 10 clubs in the Prem, if not more, would like Austin. |  |

Ferdinand has gone on record saying we want £15m and Ramsey has gone on record saying we are basically resigned to him going (paraphrasing the latter obviously).
Soton have apparently made a £10m bid, which is the first tangible bid but i haven't heard if it's been rejected or accepted yet. | | | |

He's just not as good as people seem to think and other teams recognise that. Lower expectations on how much we'll get for him. [Post edited 22 Jun 2015 12:40]

How do you measure how good a striker is maybe by the number of goals he scores | | | |
| chaz cheap. on 13:25 - Jun 22 with 2395 views | Hayesender |
£10 million Shane Long is the latest rumour.
That wouldn't be a bad deal imo |  |

Can't see how anyone can argue with that.
If you look at the money other Prem strikers on around 20 goals last season might fetch, £20 million for Charlie would be a bargain |  |

Shane Long played 21 in all comps and scored 7 for Saints since he's been there, they paid £12m for him in August.

I agree. Lazy journalism was the wrong description. However, given their remit and the interest of agents bigging up a player so that they can land another fee, then perhaps they could word articles differently? Would never happen. Sky Bet and other bookies are all as keen as mustard that there is as much credence put behind a rumour
While I am sceptical about Austin's all round ability, I tend to look at any story as a devils advocate. If we were struggling in the Prem and had the chance to buy Austin for 10 or 15 million, would we think that was a good price or an over valuation.
Given the price of a striker who can notch nearly 20 goals for a struggling team, then I would say even at 15 million, he would worth a gamble... especially at QPR where we have struggled over recent years to get an all out and out goal scorer | | | |

If Les has said that, the presumably he either has the backing of the board or control of the budgets and that is the price at which it becomes in the club's future interest to sell him now rather than hold on to him????
Isnt CR comment based on a belief that the £15 million bid will be forth coming???
Soton... according to the Express. Yet not reported elsewhere

If Soton didn't want him another Prem club defo would. We need to set our sights a bit lower than than him !! |  |

The owners could take a risk and keep Charlie for the last year of his contract in the hope that his goals will take us back to the Premiership but of course then he would be available on a free.
I am not sure that this would be very satisfactory for Charlie though.
Getting back to the Prem in one season would more than offset the money we would lose on the transfer fee.
Twist or stick ? | | | |

Well the way I see it is if we are only getting 10 mil for him keep him and see how we fair next season. If he got 20 + goals that has to put us some where near the top 6, presuming we have learnt to defend slightly less like a armless man in a fight. Then we could pop back up not the best thing for us but in financial way more money for prem etc it maybe a gamble worth taking? | | | |

This thing could run and run. Remy was going nowhere (ahem) right up until someone actually bid for him. We've had no tangible bids for Chaz and, as such, we have to plan as though he's our player.
However, Les is savvy enough to have drawn up the replacement shortlist. £10m-15m would be good but until it's in the bank we can't spend it. I'd be very interested to know who we've got on the 'If Chaz is staying'-list. |  |

Only have to go to Newsnow to see how ill informed most of this transfer "news" is.
There is a story posted yesterday evenig saying Southampton have bid for Charlie, and one thsi morning saying they have no interest in him.
Obviously at least one of those stories, and probably both, are b*******x!
For the past few weeks Charlie has been on the verge of going to Newcastle , only for another "story" last week saying Newcastle were going to check if he wanted to move to the grim north first, before bidding.
Bit like looking at the weather forecast, you're best just getting up each morning & looking out the window, check if its raining and then see if Charlie is still here - the only reliable information there is ! | | | |

I would definitely take that deal. Sounds too good to be true. Long is a clever little player and he although he hasn't had much game time at Southampton he always seemed to pop up with a goal or 2 when called on. I think he's too good for the Championship though so can't see it happening |  | | |
