Charlie Austin? 18:20 - Jul 27 with 12619 viewsowza

We need a new centre forward who can score goals because I really can't see where the goals are gonna come from. Obviously there is question marks hanging over what is going to happen with Remy who would be the best striker in the championship if he stays but if he does depart us we are left with AJ who might pop up with a few IF he can stay fit and Bobby Zamora is useless full stop. We have missed out on Hooper which would have been a brilliant signing. Charlie Austin has scored goals galore wherever he has been and he is a proven goal scorer in the championship. He would be a good coup in my opinion. Thoughts?

The plan is to bid about £4m
Then do nothing but alert all other perm teams to the story
Get gazumped
Put a sheepish call through to DJ and ask how his other ankle is.

Never knowingly right.

The club have been very publicly messing around for weeks chasing a fantasy target who would only come here as a last resort whilst Forest quietly snap up a player who may well have come here.

Well Beard hasn't been public about it at all and was pretty close to pulling it off, personally I don't think Austin is anywhere near as good as Hooper so we were right to make him a priority.

If Austin doesn't come could be for any number of reasons, I doubt it will be due to the offer we make him

Was he close to pulling it off? 3 weeks from Lennon saying they'd accepted a bid from us we still hadn't signed him...

24 hours after Norwich finally agreed to match our bid he was holding their shirt.

It'll certainly be interesting to see where he does end up, people in Notts seem certain he's joining Forest. I'm not too fussed really, Billy Sharp would be as good and there are others too.

well he wanted to go to Norwich so that was obviously the issue, if Norwich hadn't come in he'd be a QPR player today.

If I were a (sky)betting man I'd guess we'll get Crouch and Townsend but not Austin.

You'll use any stick to beat the club won't you , even a player that I doubt we're interested in going elsewhere.

Just a guess. Conor Wickam is a good player too and I'd take that.

No QPR bid for Burnley striker

10:12am Friday 26th July 2013 in Sport Photograph of the Author By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter

QPR have not tabled a bid for Burnley striker Charlie Austin, contrary to reports.

A London-based website yesterday published a story declaring the newly relegated club had made an offer for the 28-goal marksman after missing out on Celtic striker Gary Hooper.

But this is not the case at present.

QPR have been among a list of Austin’s admirers for some time but manager Harry Redknapp is yet to make a move for the former Swindon Town striker, who has 45 goals from 90 games for the Clarets.

That ratio made him a top target for Hull City this summer, but a proposed £4.5million move collapsed earlier this month after he failed a medical.

Nottingham Forest are also monitoring the situation but have yet to lodge a bid.

Austin, 24, has since return to the Clarets fold and started the last three friendlies, the first at the end of their pre-season training camp in Cork.

The club remain keen to retain him beyond the end of his current contract, which expires next summer.

£4m is a lot even before you consider the injury time bomb. Scoring heavily in the Championship is admittedly not to be sniffed at but I just don't really feel Austin has another level to his game - more of a quick fix than an investment. I suppose if he got us promoted the financial reward would far outweigh these concerns though.

Honestly I'd be more comfortable spending twice as much on Rhodes, who looks like he will score at any level.
