EraniosSocks Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Charlie Austin is the reliable Ford Fiesta we need. Not the flashiest car in the world, done a few miles, but still a decent drive and will get the simple things right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfcreece1601 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Really disappointed with this , 10 goals last year in a free scoring team that created chances is terrible , a good few of them were penalties too , really struggling to see the positives in this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waghorn and Lawrence definitely and will both be back soon , other than that you're probably right , his wages are more than rooneys though so still don't see many positives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh c’mon we’re only a few games in having had hardly any of our attacking players fit. A little early to judge. Waghorn has done it in 2 consecutive seasons and Lawrence did last season. I think the pessimism over Austin is justified. Not great stats last year in a promotion winning side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I don’t think we will sign him as I think this is a bluff to force Dursans teams hand but if we did he’ll score goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Some others have mentioned this, but we need to be bringing in a striker that is going to be fit to play from the day they arrive, or at least in 2 weeks time. I like the rehab projects for Ibe and Duncan, but we can't risk having too many. In terms of Austin, he has scored goals for years and thats an important attribute. Can be a menace up front and cause problems. If he's fit and the deal is financially viable, looks like a good bit of experience up front to go with our young crop of attackers.

Exactly, jozwiak and ibe could also get 10 goals across a potentially 50 game season, people are forgetting that west brom consistently beat teams by scoring 4 or 5 goals and he was their lone striker and still managed only 10 goals, if he comes ill obviously welcome him and give him my best etc but really don't think it would be a good signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being honest I was expecting durson on paper he seems like what we need and hold up play looks better , 19 last year too I think he would score more than Austin and fit our style better , I would also of preffered us to get keiffer moore instead of Cardiff singing him, macauley bonne also that qpr signed , many other options that we could of got that signed for teams of arguably lower quality than us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that rationale, Charlie Austin scores goals very consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has scored heavily with all of his clubs. Signing the German could work but how good is that league? No guarantees. A short term loan for Charlie would be ok with me....

May Contain Nuts Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Austin + another, OK. Not a stone cold stunner but could offer something. Austin alone... not going to be enough I don't think. May be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
