That's the only way we're signing Austin. I can see Clement wanting wingers before even dreaming of asking for us to even consider Austin who will be on quite a few lower PL sides wanted list.

I don't care mate, I'm fixated on this Routledge business. We won't go up unless we sign him. I've always thought he was the missing piece of the puzzle, ever since we suddenly got linked with him. 20 goals a season at this level easy.

I'm more interested in the Pelle rumour that I'm going to create in a minute. Invincible in the air, strong as a Huth Shawcross 2011 cross breed. He's got everything that Martin has got and more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Bournemouth have confirmed that an American billionaire has bought 25% of the club, they are supposedly now after Charlie Austin in January. Would make sense being as though they can't score since Wilson got injured. Mind you, billionaire or not their current set up behind the scenes is a bit tin pot compared to us.

PistoldPete2 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Well I would think a struggling prem team might go for him, necastle or bournemouth or someone. Mind you would he fancy another relegation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Perhaps a silly question but how would Hendrick fare as a winger? Not really a midfielder of note to me because he is not defensive at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rams Rant TV Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I can't see a proven Premier League striker coming to sit on our bench, behind Chris Martin, when there is no guarantee that we will be playing top flight football next season. We will be forced to overpay if it did happen anyway, as he's English. Simply put, it wont happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaretMatt Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 IMO you don't need/want Austin at Derby. He scores goals, lots, but for the vast majority of the game you're playing with 10 men. If you play him as a lone front man he doesn't bring anything to the table other than finishing ability and off the ball movement. He's not the kind of player who can hold the ball up or be a threat when drifting out wide, he's an out and out goal poacher. Don't think he'd fit your system at all, you'd be relying on the other outfield players to do all the build up and put it on a plate for him, he's not capable of being the link up man. Him and Jordan Rhodes are practically the same player (Austin is just that little bit stronger and better) and there's a reason neither of them are at a top 10 Prem side despite all the goals and plaudits they receive, because they're a luxury teams can't afford.

I haven't seen enough of Darren Bent recently to comment. I remember back in his Ipswich days he used to have a pace that Austin doesn't which gave him an added dimension, if he's lost that then he's probably similar.

He comes on for ten minutes at the end of the game about once a month and gets caught offside once or twice. Not sure he's lost all his pace but you'd be right to say he's not as quick as he used to be, hence why defenders find it so easy to trap him offside.

Marking him caused us to overlook the small matter of scoring (twice!) though. Never overlook nuisance value. Maybe we'll sign Zamora. OK so this post is late, we all slow down as we get older!
