jimbobram Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 He was on 100K. At 29 im sure he's looking at being at a prem or European club again on some hefty wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 So let's think about it. The general consensus is we need a striker. He has got to be a big, strong and agile target man but mobile and fast with it. He needs to be fairly young, with a good goal scoring record at a decent level. He needs to be on not 'too much money' and someone we can buy either 'very cheaply' or pay next to nothing to loan. Sounds like a bit a difficult shopping list to fill over the next few days for Mr Cocu and the recruitment boys with the clock ticking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Isn't he massively injury prone these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhantsram Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Just reading his stats. 44 goals in 224 appearances. Shocked at how few goals he has scored given his 42 England appearances. He may want a Premier League club, but with those stats would a Premier League club want him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think Austin is a gamble that’s all. We need a CF but if Waggy and Lawrence get fit along with Marriott and Hector I’m not worried about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 We go 3 games without a win and there's a clammer for a Big,fast centre forward to be signed straight away, regardless of our missing players. One win and suddenly we don't need anyone ????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fan of Knight and at his current rate of progress he's going to be a key player for us but he will never be as influential as a fully-fit Jack Wiltshire. But that's been the problem throughout his career - he can never rid himself of injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC27 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Definitely been mentioned but Harry Wilson would be an epic signing for us. Liverpool wanted a permanent deal they won’t get that now and I’m sure Wilson will push for a loan as he’s not someone likely to accept playing under 23s. I think he’ll end up on loan in the championship. If we can get a striker in and there’s budget for another signing he’d definitely slot in the squad as he can play winger or cm. The sad part is we probably won’t and someone else will have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsene Titman Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Reading through the various posts, I’m not sure everyone is aware that the Austin deal may be off due to Robson-Kanu breaking his arm. Also, is there no one in our division or leagues 1 & 2 that might fit the bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it turns out he's out of reach, Joe Pigott from Wimbledon could be a decent cheap option. Was highly rated at Charlton when he first started out, but had to drop down to non-league for regular game time. Always seems to appear fairly regularly on the vidiprinter for an average Dons team. Only 26, so just coming into his prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done the championship twice, he has nothing to prove here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboto Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 He can't move to another Prem team until January now though. Domestic window is Prem players to EFL and EFL players to any team in England. Loan or transfer. The only way he would be able to move to another prem team is to terminate his contract, which he won't do (and might be too late). Wilshere and Welbeck have terminated contracts to make themselves more appealing and available to Prem teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
