West Brom would give him a sizable payoff (couple of million?) to cancel the contact. So financially for all parties (West Brom, Derby, Austin) it would end up being similar to a loan with us contributing a proportion of his wage.

May Contain Nuts Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 ..but with it not needing to be done today, we're unlikely to bring anyone in tonight with no other links to overseas players. I think we should all go to bed. Not together of course, separately, each to our own beds. No transfer business, no naughty business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to work this morning I fully expected to have signed a German, an Austin and some salsa dancing Brazilian wonder kid for 16 million by the time I got home.

This illness ended Darren Fletchers career and last season he struggled to play 2 games a week to manage it. Dont get me wrong hes still one of the top strikers in the championship ability wise but for us to shell out on a two year deal with that type of illness would not make sense. At least in Austin we will be getting a striker that can play almost every game. Personally I would have been happier with Durson he looked a real handful and a good link up player. Well his time at Bristol will show us. I know all about his illness as I have also suffered from it. My point is having Charlie Austin on high wages when we have got rid of Chris Martin who would have been on lesser wages didn't make sense.

Turk Thrust Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Surely people on here must realise that there is a lot of issues concerning contracts and transfers that are never brought to light. It’s pointless talking about CM on lower wages than Austin etc when none of us know anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was originally quoting a post on here that stated Austin at 70k over a two year contract. That is why I mentioned Martin who was holding out for a 2 year contract. Which was apparently rejected due to wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 He might be on 70 grand a week at West Brom but we’ll only be paying a percentage of that to him. Say if we paid him 30 grand a week, West Brom would fulfil the rest of his wages and save 30 grand a week on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
