Austin is 6’2” tall,Marriott is 5’8” so I wouldn’t use “not dissimilar” in my assessment. Pedigree at this level has nothing to do with the point I'm trying to make, I'm more talking about how they play on the pitch. Austin is taller sure but my previous impression is he's a player who's going to look to run onto through balls and lurk in the box, not physically compete with the centre backs and look to hold up the ball/link play. He could well be better than what we have (although I'm not completely convinced on that front) but I'm not convinced he's the style of striker we need. One caveat is that I'll fully admit to it being a while a go since last seeing Austin play and I'll be happily corrected by someone who's kept a closer eye.

Can't get Dursun in January unless something big changes as he'll need a work permit and won't qualify for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you mean the over the hill guy, the German second division guy that no one had heard of, or the striker who never scores? I've done a little wee just typing this! Jim White ain't a patch on you.

If Cocu likes him and he wants to come then who are we to argue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chadlad Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Not particularly happy if this is true. Times are hard and I don’t see why we need to sign a player who is plainly past his best. Have we not learned anything from our past mistakes? A loan it may be but would still cost a fee and wages. Whittaker is emerging rapidly, Waghorn is seemingly close, Wazza is getting fitter and Marriott, ahh... i see. Anyway I would far rather we spent any available cash on some young up and coming striker with potential resale value. Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All players from outside UK/Eire will need work permits from Jan 1 under current plans as we will be outside the EU and have apply the rules uniformly. Players already here get work permits for the extent of their contracts. I suspect that transfer fees and wages are about to sky rocket again.

I don't think they have announced the criteria yet though to qualify permits. Brentford's transfer policy will be screwed if they don't allow EU signings that are not full internationals to come in.

From what i understand it would not be a loan , WBA will release him and we will negotiate a short term deal until January. But who knows ?

BathRam72 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 48 minutes ago, Terry Hennessy said: It seems like Charlie Austin is the one. Whether it's til Jan or a season long loan we'll have to see. That said I'm sure that DCFC will NOT be spending stupid money (a) They've learned their lesson (b) We have no money to pay stupid wages any more. No fans = no income. For me Austin will provide something we don't have ATM ie a big CF who will cause defenders problems - who has experience of the Championship. Whether Derby go back in for Durson in Jan remains to be seen. You still have to get the ball to him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have announced draft proposals and players like Dursun are a million miles away from qualifying. Oddly, it will help clubs with very strong academies. We could well be laughing, but Brentford could struggle as you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 1 minute ago, Woodley Ram said: why will he need a work permit Because the UK will no longer be part of the single market, so freedom of movement ends. This puts EU citizens who want to work here in the same category as non-EU citizens. For footballers, that means needing a work permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right, I would expect visa/permit problems for professionals plying their trade outside of the EU, however we shouldn't experience this for a german citizen, especially if a contract exsists.

biellaram Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I thought Boris and Ursula agreed to delay negotiations by 1 month therefore meaning that for football - January deals would scrape through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Seems like very few like Austin but I'd be more than happy to have him here on loan. Can certainly do a decent job for us once bedded in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
