Just had a text regards Austin 12:19 - Jan 16 with 10277 views | Loyal | Apparently he was touted to all clubs last Wednesday and QPR had to do it as they knew they wouldn't get a bean in the summer. He would have gone anywhere in the premier league. Southampton paid 2.5 million plus 1.5 million wages. The Swansea board didn't see him as an effective business case. I'm lost for words. And for anyone banging on about who knows what, it's bloody obvious he was available or he wouldn't be a fcking Southampton player ! | |

As we have come so far as a club then you of all people should know if it's achievable, then it's achievable by Swansea. The fact he is at Southampton regardless of my OP should tell you he was in the market, and we could have sealed it had we WANTED to. | |

An extra million quid in his back pocket and he would have painted the insides of a dogs anus on his way down to Swansea. | |

I think it's likely Austin (assuming the choice existed) would have chosen Southampton over us as they are not in the relegation mire and have a decent manager and also as he's more likely to do well in a team that's in decent form. | |

Like QPR - Southampton have clearly signed him regardless of the knee. Didn't harm him at Loftus Road for three seasons. | |

Yes "mate" I know he went to QPR, that doesn't mean he hasn't got a suspect knee, just because they signed him. | | | |

I don't know what that means. They knew he had a dodgy knee but signed him anyway, so the knee clearly isn't that much of an issue. For two clubs now. "mate" [Post edited 16 Jan 2016 12:59]

But it's highly unlikely he'd have WANTED to especially when it's also highly unlikely he signed for Soton with a relegation clause in his contract. | |

Me personally, yes I would sign for Southampton as well, but my point is, irrespective of my OP he was in the market and we could have made it happen. -------> £££££ | |

So, if we really wanted to, we could have signed a player, regardless of his own preferences or the actions of the other clubs who wanted to buy him? | | | |

I despair for our fans at times. Just because it hasn't been reported in the media doesn't mean we weren't interested. He's picked a much better option than Swansea City at this time. We desperately need players and it's making people delusional. | | | |

Well that's what Harry Redknapp said in fact he said he was signing him regardless of his knackered knee. Maybe Harry isn't ITK. | |
